Right guys, some of you lot got very curious when i stated that i was going to roller paint my T4 and asked for more details. The minus point of hand painting is that you will get an orange peel effect to the finish if your prep isn't good, so when you've done the primer make sure you give it a good flattening off, your looking for a mirror smooth finish before you top coat, if you dont do this the orange peel effect will be twice as bad on the final coat. Today started badly with me discovering a very badly rusted wheel arch which i then had to sort out, this meant grinding out al the bad metal, treating whatever was left with vactan and phoning around for a mobile welder - unfortunately one did not materialise so i ended up fibreglassing the area as the hole was only small and non structural. This went for another 3 small areas where rust had penetrated the sills. For sanding i ddi this by hand to ensure i didn't remove too much, i used 60 grit here however found it scored the surface too much for paint to go on evenly. I would advise removing excess filler with 60grit and the once flush with the surface, finish with 120-180grit ready for painting.Sorry for the somewhat vague post however there is ALOT to document and i would only be repeating what others have already stated on the above links. It should be noted any metal paint may be used to some effect, however i cannot vouch for any other types. Years of experience and matching original military vehicle paint has developed into our range of high quality paint based on over one hundred different colours. Upon completing the initial sanding/keying of the paint present on the van it was time for body repairs, these consisted of fibreglassing areas where rust was too severe to simply treat. In these instances i cut out/ground out the rust, cleaned up the surrounding areas, treated with rust treatment and then fibreglassed both sides of the affected panel, where possible.

Spray application. All of our Enamels will need to be diluted by around 5-10% using Paintman Coach Enamel Thinners, thus ensuring the highest quality finish and maintaining correct drying times.

Finally, i washed the van using soap and water, before rinsing very thoroughly. For the soap i used fairy liquid as it has no waxy additives which could make painting difficult, and it is very good at cutting through grease and capturing particulates. I did ensure this was very thoroughly rinsed due to the salts included which i did not want to remain on the van under the paint. Before painting, i let the van dry and wiped down panels that were to be painted with white spirit.

Vactan is best applied liberally using a 'dabbing' action to ensure it treats the dimpled surface of rusted areas. Do not overuse as you will simply have to sand off it's PVA like surface at a later stage. We understand that many of our clients will require support when choosing their coating solution.

Tomorrow is day 3 - and we continue with the primary sanding/grinding, i will do a thorough rust treatment of all bodywork and will hopefully (if i have the resources) start fibreglassing and filling. This does however depend on whether my oil breathe pipe comes, as i may spend the day working on the engine so please bear with me guys and girls! The van is generally very good, considering it is 15 years old and has 180k miles. Yeah there are spots of rust, and the arches are looking poor - but realistically the bodywork is not that bad. A wee bit of fibreglass on the arches and filler on the body and we should have a nice van!
