America and England are the only two countries in the world, that are separated by a common language.Hmmm. Americans don't speak English, or so I've been told by an Englishman.

Are you Watson's friend?I just had my long wheelbase T1N painted with quality epoxy primer, polyurethane paint, and had all the body work done at a shop in La Paz. Took them 8 working days and cost 23,000 pesos. (about $1200 US) Maybe you need to take a road trip.
What brand was the paint? I would like to find a place a little closer maybe over the border from El Paso or in El Paso. I don't need a whole paint job just the front clip and front section of high roof and of course the new passenger door that I plan to get when I find one. I'll need also the lower half of the sprinter painted on Passenger side once rust is fixed. I also have rust issues in rear, the step bumper cover comes out of the holes and you have to push it back in sometimes.I just had my long wheelbase T1N painted with quality epoxy primer, polyurethane paint, and had all the body work done at a shop in La Paz.

How about PPG do they have a commercial line? Any shops around the front range that could repair some rust on the peso exchange rateThe best paint is Dupont Imron for commercial vehicles.
There are two types, the best is Acrylic Polyurethane base stuff!

Ok I'll keep that in mind and request that kind of paint next time I hit up the body shops in El Paso and/or San Diego, although I'm not trying to drive 900,000 in my T1N. If I can get 500k+ I'll consider myself lucky and move on to something more equipped for long road trips. $5000 paint jobs and $2000 (each) Recaro suspension seats wasn't part of the plan.On the front range?
You are a dreamer.
A simple paint job is about $5000 for just a blow over .
PPG is OK, but Dupont Imron is what you need to apply to trucks and buses and even Sprinter vans.
I/We have a customer we sprayed a then new white 2004 Sprinter van in silver metallic silver using Imron. Now with almost 900,000 miles on it, the paintwork still look very presentable with no rust.

Can you share the name of the shop encase I decide to make the trip? Also if you don't mind could you post a picture of your Sprinter to get a idea of the kind of work they do down there.I just had my long wheelbase T1N painted with quality epoxy primer, polyurethane paint, and had all the body work done at a shop in La Paz.

I can’t remember the name of the shop but it’s on Ignacio Ramierez about two blocks north of the big church on 5 de Febrero on the water side of the street right next to the paint store.Can you share the name of the shop encase I decide to make the trip?
