@Imprintx needs to be done with high build primer to make them smooth. Iv had a few bodyshops in the past try and they never get it perfect.
Iv used a company called Wicked coatings a few times now, always do an amazing job.
Local bodyshop wanted £300
Wicked wanted £250 and they came back absolutely perfect.
Highly recommended
@the swan fiend thanks mate, glad it's all done now!!!, Well..... Nearly

While the van is undriveable, I thought I'd begin tarting the interior up a bit. Cut the bulkheads to bits so I could use the edge parts and also fitted a new black alcantara headliner in the cab - the original one was looking a bit manky, so this covers it nicely. I'll eventually do the rear headliner in the same material and extend it slightly to hide the rear edge of the front part and also the now defunct bulkhead fixings. The bulkhead "edges" will also be carpeted to match the rear (when I eventually get around to doing it!)
