Door inners into pastel white tonight! Pretty sure the inners now look better than the outers did before I started. And started wet sanding the rear of the van down.

O/S rear quarter and front arch rubbed back tonight with 400, and made a good start on the roof.
Just an hour or so tonight, but got two big panels rubbed down with 400 grit.
Long panels on the van re-primed (much happier with the arch profile on the N/S now). And started the final rub down.
Doors all re-primed tonight following the further filler work they needed.
Another long weekend spend sanding sodding filler again! I’ve had to correct some minor imperfections on both cab doors, the rear hatch, the sliding door, the large side panel and both rear arches (so basically the whole van!). I’ve got some further work on the O/S rear arch to do tomorrow night then I’ll re-prime […]
Both cab doors and the sliding door rubbed down with 240 grit tonight. The O/S cab door needs a dab more filler in one spot, the N/S rubbed down ok but is a little thin in areas where I’ve rubbed down to the epoxy so I’ll re-prime both doors. The sliding door doesn’t look so […]
More Paint Prep
The paint prep continues! I’ve been making my way round the van with 240 grit to see where we’re at. Rear corners and rear end are fine bar a small area to the right of the N/S light aperture which needs some fine filler to bring the level up a bit: Front end, front arches […]
Cab and Sliding Door High Build Primer A busy weekend saw the cab doors and sliding door into high build primer. That’s everything primed now and I can start rubbing the primer down! No doubt some bits will need further work but I think that’s to be expected.
After a busy couple of weekends playing guitar at both Palmstock (annual charity shindig) and one of my oldest friend’s wedding (an absolutely great day), I’m back on the van hitting it hard. Roof all rubbed down, prepped and into primer. Just the cab doors and sliding door left to high build!
