I have done it on both of mine and the tractor. It always my first response when people ask about paint. Usually followed by some disparaging comment about the choice of metallic paint rather than proper coach enamel in one of the only acceptable land rover colours found on the chart below:

Because of this I cannot recommend you somewhere that could do it, but any local auto paint shop should be able to, the only issue would be the labour involved in getting it ready for paint. I would be looking to do as much of the prep work (stripping parts not to painted) off as possible.

Thanks for your insight, yes I will be going for a standard LR paint (bronze Green).
Cheers

If you are choosing a proper land rover colour I do come back to my first slightly tongue in cheek suggestion of doing it yourself. Coach enamel is very easy to work with and if you are not going for a fancy metallic colour you should be able to get a good diy finish.
