We are considering having our Freedom Microlite resprayed to match our campervan. Can anyone give an approximate estimate as to how much it would cost? It's fibreglass bodied and in good condition, so it's basically a masking and spray only.Thanks

As Jeff has said there is a bit more to it than just masking up and getting on with it if you want a half decent finish. Can I suggest that you have a look here.
Really? Assuming no repairs needed then a quick scuff, mask and shoot wet on wet. I can't see how the justification for more than £600 can be made unless you're taking it to a high end bodyshop or expecting a finish not in accordance with what the actual vehicle warrants.
Being as you have a fibreglass body to your caravan, it may require a new Specialist Gelcote rather than respraying. We have a friend who owns a large boatyard in Norfolk, and the majority of his hirefleet of boats have fibreglass bodies and Hulls. I have never known of any of his boats to be resprayed with paint in the traditional manner, when it boats need tarting up for the new season, they get a fresh Gelcote, which comes in quite a few colours to choose from.
Maybe contacting a fibreglass specialist company is the way to go?

I spray a lot of fibreglass cars, it isnt easy but not rocket science either if you know what you're doing. I could paint one for around £700 in a solid colour including any repairs that may appear, and it wouldnt fall off next week :) It will not want a new gel coat of any sort.
Tha painting is quick and easy, its the prep work, and removal of / masking up parts that takes the longest.
