My new old van

I thought to post a pile of images of my new old van - after I coated the floor with protectakote - by the way it dries in 12 - 24 hrs not 3 days as mentioned in other topics ?!

Nice job mate.

I should do this to my transit.

Looking good! It took ages for mine to dry when I did it but I did do super thick coats of it!

Nice save! I'll have to find some time to do the same to my sisters van.

Hey, that looks great, did you find you needed to sand a lot of the paint work down? And how long did it take you? I have a little Kangoo and hope I can get it done in a morning.

Thanks

When i did mine i just wire brushed it all over then got all the dust up, i used a foam roller to apply the protectacoat, the worst part was waiting for it to dry, i think it was a good day before it dried out, then i think it was a good week before the smell went! My van smelt bad even with leaving the doors open for it to dry :laugh:

looks good

Looking good...well done :thumbsup:

not really - but in some places (wheel arches photo 3) it was too bad , was totally corroded and i got on the other side trying to remove it lol . Then I just filled it back with paint pretending I haven't notice the hole and ignoring the remaining rust : )

Great job mate. I like the look of that paint, expensive stuff from what I hear.
