I've just had both rear corners of my Auto-Trail Dakota repainted.
This is the second time it's been done. One corner suffered accident damage four years ago and to ensure a match I had both corners painted.
About 18 months ago the paint started to peel. I couldn't take it back to the repairer because they've gone out of business.
A company in Farnborough was recommended to me by another body shop who couldn't repair a large vehicle.
The company is called Colour Motion:

They explained why the other repair had failed. A water based paint and lacquer was used. It has now been repainted using solvent based paint and I'm assured this will never fail.
The price was reasonable, the job excellent and done very quickly. I dropped the 'van off yesterday and it was finished this morning.
They're very helpful and take the time to call with progress updates.
Highly recommended if you have the misfortune to need a repair small or large. They're very busy and say that much business comes through personal referral.
Besides body repairs they offer a complete range of motorhome services including habitation checks.
They also carry out other vehicle services such as wheel refurbishment and air con repairs and service.
