Bus is looking ace mate

Will that matt paint brush on or do you have to spray it? I nearly have approval for the first stage of my paint job

I painted mine on the front bumper with a brush and the rest is a 4" gloss £2.99 roller from b&q
Its the easiest painting ive ever done,no brush marks,no drips and no sanding inbetween coats

that sounds ideal

What you mean lise??

Just that the sun is shining on the bus more in the last one .. of the bus, not the house, and I've also just adjusted my screen a bit

damn that van o yours is lookin SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWEEEEEEEEEEET Dickie
just inspired me to get out into the wind and start ripping the front end o mine apart ready for the dropped spindles and IRS



P.S what paint did you use out of interest,being as you brushed it on??

I don't think you can really tell in those pics, but the paint is heavily matted that's why it can be brushed/rollered - the pics from the airballoon meet show just how "flat" the paint is - it looks awesome

I'd also be interested to see what you've done with the interior dude?

I must say I'm looking forward to meeting this van in the flesh , to see what it is like!

Ignore the plant and some of the shit photos



The van had some awful massive stereo box made out of mdf when i got it,so i ripped it out,tiled it with madmatz tiles and boarded the sides.
Bought a rock n roll bed and made the double seat behind driver to match.
Since this pic ive recovered the r&r seat cushions in dark brown vinyl

Thas nice that is

Yeah! Nice work Dickie!

cheers guys
It also had some horrible half leather seats in the front,so had to find some 1/3 and 2/3 seats and runners and tabs as someone had ground them off
And i painted and lit up the engine bay and tarted the engine up also
