Did you have to prime the floor first or just straight onto the metal floor or plylining?

I know it wasn't me you were asking but I've done the back of mine with Isoflex and even though they do sell a primer, you can paint it directly onto anything. Its also one of the few things you can use to paint an ibc black without all the paint peeling off.

Thanks Skxawng.

I'll check this stuff out, it sounds good.

No prob. It does have a drawback, that is the drying time. It takes a day to be touch dry, but it can be a few days before you don't have to worry about leaving things on it for any length of time without them sticking. Once dry it's very good: tough, grippy, and excellent coverage. If there's a Bunnings near you, it's cheaper then b&q/wickes/screwfix ect.

I used isoflex liquid rubber from screwfix. I think it's really for repairing flat roofs but it works fine as long as you can put up with the smell that lasts for about a fortnight. A 4.5 ltr tin costs £40 I have a Nissan nv200 and used about half the tin.

Did you prime it first or just slap the isoflex straight on the plywood?

If you plan on keeping your van for a long time , get it professionally sprayed, we have used Walkdens in bury  , 3 vehicles  plus tank installations over the years, , highly recommend

2007  vans should not have to be scrapped for rust, I saw a 16 reg, that had rust coming through
