couple of respray questions

Hope someone around here can help..I'm sure I remember reading, years ago, about an outfit which had set up whatamounted to a production line approach to do cheap and cheerful (but not totallynaff quality) resprays - the volume of work making a cheap deal possible. I*think* they went so far as to offer a same-day service, if my memory isn'tfailing me - you dropped it off in the morning, you picked it up with anexterior respray completed that same night. It was a feature in Motor or AutocarI think. Can anyone point me in their direction?Failing that, anywhere that does a cheap, nasty and fast (but not totally dodgy)respray service, anywhere along the M4 or M5, or London area. The vehicle beingsprayed is 100% fibreglass so there's no rust issue, and no damage to repair -just a freshen up in the correct colour - and I do NOT need quality (long story;I could tell you what I'm having resprayed but you wouldn't believe me!)Thanks!Mike--'As I walk along these shoresI am the history within'

if the weather is right then you can get an excellent result in the open air just using cellulose paints. a 20 quid spray gun, a 20 quid water seperator and a fifty quid compressor will do what you need.

Have you got some of the yellow Dulux left?

Ian Dalziel gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Orange? Oops, sorry. "African Adventure 3". No, it went with the van to it's new owner.

I went all posh when I bought the paint - it was WeatherShield exterior grade. The last paint had just been Dulux interior paint, and it lasted over a decade...
