Hi.The sliding rear doors are very easy to remove and the procedure is fully outlined on page 11.6 [ bodywork and fittings ] in the Citroen Berlingo and Peugeot Partner Haynes owners workshop manual. If your doing any mechanical work at all on your car this is an excellent source of information and at less than £20 an absolute must.Good luck with your respray,are you removing the windscreen as well ?

Cheers for that I may have to invest in a manual as for the windscreen I'm just removing the outer rubber cos the screen is bonded and don't fancy the cost

Hello 0121ash109 welcome to the forum good to have you with us wow that green is bright nice though 

Dont want to tell you how to suck eggs but please be health conscious and make use of a GOOD quality dust mask,also be aware that some paints are poisonous ie 2pack [ isocyanide ] ,even water based paint can be aggressive inside your lungs.
There are a lot of things against you now a days not least of which is your neighbors right to clean air.Ive sprayed a lot of cars and motorcycles including a few custom jobs for shows back in the day ,its a lot of work but can be really rewarding.If i can give you any advice at all,take pictures of everything before you do it and always choose a colour that will sell,and be aware that if its a colour change ,the insurance may be loaded.The pictures in case your wondering will prove to buyers that the car wasnt accident damaged,rusted out or stolen even ! Good luck and may all the nats and flies in your area not realize that your painting untill youve done it.

OK .I guess its important to be aware of these things anyway,i was lucky ,back in the day i used to own a very large bungalow with a quarter acre and 2 double garages,the beauty of that was it was right on the edge of a industrial estate which although it kept the price down it was extremely use full and allowed me to fulfill my passions of customs and drag racing.I could make as much noise as i wanted and the "paint residue" didnt cause any problems,i also had 2 x spray shops in units quite close to me which was a great sorce of information,and we all became great friends.The good old days ey.
