Full Re-Spray!! VW Transporter T5 Dream Build

I can not thank Paintworx in Loughborough enough for the amazing job they did painting my dream build T5. I'm not going to put what colour it is here, I'll let you watch the video to see. Steve have his time went next level with the work and finish to our Transporter. Thanks Steve!!!
Let me know in the comments what you think of the colour choice. It's not to everyone's taste I'm sure, but we LOVE it! Honestly the camera doesn't do it justice. The colour and finished is incredible.
Don't take my word for it, come as see it at Ultimate Stance show in Telford at the end of October. Now the race is on to get it ready. Wish us luck!
So much more to come in this KZbin series. Next up, Horizon will be coming to fit their ultra low pop to roof. We'll also talk more about the air suspension and interior we're going for. Plus a new aftermarket Air Con system for the back of the camper.
I hope you've enjoyed this video, please do hit that like button, it means a lot.
As always, thanks for watching.

Loving the way you still are getting excited about a van :) . Great way to showcase the business as well.

[@THQAutomotive]

I love it, and I hope you can tell from our videos. Transporters aren't just our business, they are our passion. This is the dream job 🙌

[@pacomedina4159]

​@@THQAutomotive Congratulations! A magnificent job...these videos motivate me to work on my project (VW Sharan 7 M 2005)...and to dream of having a van as similar as possible to theirs...It's a shame that here in my country (Mexico) there are no accessories for my project...and that slows me down quite a bit...congratulations on your enthusiasm!

[@THQAutomotive]

@@pacomedina4159 I'd love to see that. Sounds really interesting

If you can get the tint on the lights (as well as body paint and wheels) same on 911 & T5 they'll match like Swan Vesta. Scenic roof on the transporter too if you're asking my opinion, and you're not...😎🤙

@@babufrik8112 it's honestly so different from indium grey. I've had a few vans that colours. Anyway, as long as it matches the green 911, I'm happy. Yes the engine bay has been painted too.
