Does anyone have any recommendations and prices for any companies that would do a 110 CSW?

Alternatively, has anyone had any luck painting their own with decent results?

A decent job will cost you around 4k in my neck of the woods.

I was quoted around £2.5k. That was spraying as a vehicle, with them doing the prep work. I wanted a full colour change, not just outside, and I wanted everything painting, no missed spots like original. I painted mine. You can tell it’s a DIY job if you look close, but from 20’ it looks good.

Kids did mine cost about £25 for materials and a couple of bags of sweets, green was brushed / rolled on black was sprayed from a rattle can, was still fine five years later when I sold it.
Seriously if you you prep it right and tell the paint supplier you will be rolling it on so he mixes the correct paint its not a bad budget finish.
A proper spray job isn't cheap, have seen a few peel off as they didn't prep it well.
Just consider is it worth the cost?
If you want a high gloss finish and can do it inside Teckaloid coach paint is excellent and with a roller and good brush you cant tell its not sprayed.

Mine was done in Tekaloid about 13 years ago, it was really really reflective paint, looks very glossy, but it fades over the years, it oxidises and cannot be polished or cut back.

You can get decent results yourself.

All depends on your prep really.I did a fairly straight 109 a few years ago in this.

Just rolled it on and it turned out well.

Currently doing a 90 but the body work is a dog. Endless filling and sanding and highbuild primer. Used this paint

Only issue is, you need specialist rollers as its 2k and its a b*tch to get a good finish, I ended up buying a spray gun and spraying,

After some practise and some mistakes i've gotten a decent finish. Good quality paint.

For paint try Avenue Coatings, https://www.avenue-online.co.uk/paint--all-related-products-4484-c.asp , they will mix Tekaloid to Land Rover colours and I think they even put it in rattle cans.
