Instead of painting it why didn't you just buy a silver one? I'd just keep it clean and sod the remap. It's a works van which needs to earn its keep, which means is that all it needs to do it keep working.

Why spend all that money on a work van?
Think of all the extra work you need to do to cover the costs.
A full respray on a car is approx £1,500. I'd dread to think what it would be on something that size.

Mmm. I hear what you guy's are saying.
But hey I managed to get the seller down by £200.00 also I've Part X'd In the VW Caddy into the deal & for a very good price.
Price seller has paid for the VW Caddy is way more than I originally paid for it. So that kinda pays for the re-spray.
& I get a van that's the right size for my business and eventually in A1 condition, that will look good.

exactly nice shiny sublty modified and looked after van makes a good impression and helps show you take pride and care in your work plus it will stand out from the crowd getting so if signwritten will be very good advertising

I've always liked vans with a good set of alloys. Although for a work van you want the engine standard or it could put more stress especially on the gearbox which aren't great on certain types of transits
Just my 2 pence
