I think im going to look for something similar as the mesh that was on the van is half rotten

Shame the rust around lower front valance has taken hold which I discovered yesterday evening-need one of your fibreglass panels

The side panels and roof on the coachbuilt section is done properly,the cab are is just sloshed on to see what it will look like due to not having sorted out front valance yet.I think the blue/white works well..what do you think?

The two tone paintwork will look great, looks a lot more stylish than having the cab painted differently to the bodywork.
kjh;)
 
Cheers people

That dark blue strip is still obvious under the white on the side panel but i think after 4 coats it should be gone:D

Looking good! Are you using rustoleum, or a similar type of paint? - I will be doing the same thing later this year.

That looks like a seriously good product. £50 and a bit of elbow grease vs £2k for a half decent respray, hmmmmm. So long as the prep has been done, then it looks like it could be a winner. Look forward to seeing your update photos.
 
Painted the back end today and left it to bake in the sun

I think the result will be better than what we had before,after all he cab was rattle can paint before.
