Your interior is definately unusual! Each to their own!!!

Looking good for one coat. You askd me what colour code mine was and I'd actualy just logged on to finally let you know, although I guess it's too late now. If any one else might be interested in the future, I went for RAL2002. Looking deeper than it did in the first photos I posted, about four coat...

I was in the same situation as you last autumn and got a few quotes around the Bristol area. I had a load of panels welded in by Mark at V Dub Resto just north of Bristol.... http://www.vdubresto.co.uk/contact.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Seemed like a genuine guy an...

Thanks Covkid, and thanks for this whole thread and starting the whole thing off. I was getting really fed up with all that rubbing down, especially after having spent a fair bit in having new panels welded in. But after seeing just the one coat it's perked me up again. Keen to get the van back on t...

Silky - you mentioned having your paint very thin. I know thin coats are the way to go but I was just wondering what sort of ratios your using? As far as I could see from this thread, the colder the weather the less white spirit people are using. This seemed counter intuative to me, but I'm sure the...

Not quite the before and afters, but the before and after one coat....

7 days til totally dry sounds great! That way I'll be able to leave it eight or nine days, rub down for a day whilst I'm off in the week and then get my wife painting again at the weekend. She was FAR better at it than me. I knew her art degree would come in handy at some point. :o Tried to post som...

I've a question for any of you folks out there that are painting your vans at the moment or have recently in this colder weather.... Now I know now arguably isn't the best time to be painting the van, but due to a recent house move and pending extension/renovation work together with the van failing ...

6'5" and 5'10" = No room for pointer when he's fully grown!

Blimey. Maybe Dave will be in bed with us after all! Best start saving!

Martin - thanks very much for taking the time to write that. Very informative and exactly the sort of thing I was after.

Think I'm probably leaning towards the Propex. They also look a little smaller than the ebers on the whole.

Thanks for clearing that up folks. That way I can look into either, probably which ever I find cheaper!

Does that mean that yours is mounted outside? I thought that would lead to serious corrosion issues.

The van runs on lpg 99% of the time so I'm obviously drawn to the propex. Even if I don't link it in straight away it's always an option later. How hard is it to link into the lpg fuel tank? I should probably do a search on that question before blindly asking!

Up to now the wife and I have always gone down the warm clothes/duvet/tea/cuddling and alcohol route of keeping warm in the van over the winter months. However we've just got a new member of the family, a 3 month old Pointer named Dave. With his short hair he's not one for the wet/cold. I know as he...
