MrRusso Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hey hopefully someone can help me find someone to paint our beautiful van. The previous owner hand-painted it and she needs a bit of love. Apparently we need to soda blast her. However my other half just called me in tears saying the guy who came out to estimate the job said we’d have to take her off the road for 6 months, which is not viable as its a coffee and crepe business. So if any of you know of someone who can help us out. We might even just go over the existing paint so the van can earn some money over the summer. Please help us find someone to paint her for a decent price. Thanks in advance Simon Link to comment https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/446102-help-we-need-to-find-someone-to-paint-our-citroen-hy-van/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy266 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 You could hand paint it, it isn't too hard..... use a very good brush and coach enamel....or even use a paint roller..

Alfamale Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Providing the body work is solid, it may be worth considering a Vinyl wrap over the whole fan. Its quick and looks good once done, usually cheaper too.

Alcoblog Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 A van such as this is far too good to hand paint or cover with vinyl (which would be practically impossible due to all the corrugated panels). As you (OP) know, these vans are very much sought after and fetch top money, so a decent paint job is well worth the investment. If it were car sized, I'd recommend John Bee, but not sure if they could accommodate a van. Is it the short or long wheelbase? I know 2CV City in Bradford deal with these vans, so maybe they could help?
