What a transformation! Well worth the effort. Boiled linseed oil works really well on the exterior plastic and brings them up like new and it’s cheap and lasts ages.

Cheers! 👍😊 We thought about going that route but on this particular aged van the bumpers and trim are grey; I think they were changed to black 2014 onwards. The grey looks a bit wishy washy against the colour so were thinking of painting them black. 🤔🙂

Hey Jeremy, thanks for checking the video out and for the praise! I can't take much of the credit though as all I've done is taken the information I've researched, applied it to painting my own van, recorded the process and just offered up a few tips I've personally found along the way. We're just glad folk are finding it useful. I've had a nose at your own channel and it looks really interesting. I certainly need to start taking better care of myself as since I've turned 40 it seems all of a sudden I've started discovering aches and pains! 😆 I'll definitely take a closer look at some of your videos. All the best mate. 🙂👍

Great video. I've got 2 Luton vans for work. 10 plate and 13. Once a year I sand the sils, arches, and paint the doors, wings and bonnet with a gloss roller. Always use metal white gloss sieved and 10% white spirits. Gets a slight orange peel effect but looks great and is a more solid finish then expensive spray. Key is not to use too much paint on the roller and don't apply too much pressure to stop lines appearing

That came out WAY better than I expected - nice work! Feeling slightly more confident about doing the same to my T5...
