@1:56 An entire day "filling in any cracks". Sounds like you had a great time. 😀

Must admit I didn’t expect the van to turn out as well as it did. Looks smart fair play 👌👍

A good practical limited time job, looks good for a roller job 👍

I actually like the mat finish , looks cool now for a few individual touches to make it stand alone and proud 🤟🏽

Dear Lana and Tomm, Well done. Story looks so great and I see you had a lot of fun despite the work. Now nothing stands in the way of the next adventure. Thanks for the interesting video! Kind wishes, Gerold

Thanks Gerold! 😊 It was a bit hit and miss to begin with but we are really happy with how she looks now! And now its time for her next adventure! xx

The van looks champion, I roller painted the lower half of our van covering the shabby silver and I was well happy with the way it turned out after mths of thinking will i won't i but I wish I done it earlier coz it totally changed the look into the swampy look I wanted, well done you guys 🤙

That looks great Lana I know exactly what you went through, I painted my boat using 2 greys with a boat you roller it on then lay it off with a brush, I tried starting early but by the time I dried it off the sun was already making the steel hot but I was happy with the finish so love your videos you seem very natural

Awesome job for a first attempt.. Adding paint conditioner helps with flow and in hot conditions. Looking at painting my van in the spring when it's a bit cooler. 🤘🏼

What a transformation love it

I’m stunned … good job 🎉

Want to do this on my old Volvo - van looks great to me :)

I use foam rollers for interior paint, so know they make a perfect job of surfaces. But I gotta say that it's never crossed my mind that you could the same to a vehicle! You've both made a great job of your van! I love it! I may start looking to buy a cheap van now you've opened my eyes to this! lol 👍

Did this for a living a while back , yes the key is the prep work but still looks good well done both 👍

Use 2k clear coat if you can. It is a spray but it’s the best off the shelf clear you can buy without using a compressor

Fantastic job👍👍being a t4 lover this was very handy to know 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Cool, Looks like VW Pure grey without the gloss finish.

A lot longer on the prep would have given far better results in the end. I shot blasted the worst bits of mine to make sure all the rust was removed before priming and then filling. Sanding should always be done with a backing pad or block as bare fingers apply uneven pressure. I took my doors off and did the pillars at the same time as the body so there weren't any lines where the two bits met. I also changed my roller frequently, persisting with a cheap, worn out roller drops bits of fluff in the paint and gives the uneven finish you were getting. When I had finished mine I took it to have some decals that matched the 1081boriginals applied and the bloke thought that it had been sprayed not rollered. In your defence, you had a couple of days, I was retired and had all the time in the world to sand, fill,sand, fill, sand, sand and sand again and could also let it dry & harden properly between coats.

Cool !

Wow! delicious looking shorts!

I did this to my 1988 Ford Ranger 4x4 truck a few years ago. I read a story in Hot Rod magazine that said paint your car for under $100.00. The mixing ratio that they said to use was take the cap from the mineral spirits. Pour 4 cap full's into the paint pan. It should be about like semi melted ice cream. Then roll on the paint. For any paint job either this way or using a spray gun prep work is 99% of the job. The more time if you have some the better the job will turn out. And using Rustoleum you have to wait 24 hrs. between coats and sand between each one. Would I do it again.? I don't know for sure.

Absolutely stunning ! The van as well. By the end of the video I was taking with An accent like yours lol

Looks great though. Matt and rolling is the right decision if you are afraid that you will have to weld something again and then paint over parts. A better finish can be achieved with a primer/filler from a spray can, or with a coating such as Raptor. Good luck

How not to prep a van for paint vid but enjoyable vid

didnt even notice the van

Best looking woman in town you need no make up

I recommend using a dust mask, hearing protection and eye protection when doing these jobs. Also sunscreen of course. And preferably a hair net. And proper clothing so you don't get all that shit on your skin.
