Hi!

This how it came after two coats Im very happy with the result! Thank you all! I will add more coats when time allows...

Hi All! Just finished my first coat on Pitufina (Smurfette). Haven't flat back yet, I will try to wait at least five days, I would like to wait more, but holidays are running out and i want to finish at least two coats....and there is nice weather, like 23*C and sun, so i hope is ok! I know i could ...

Hi VEEDUB,

Very nice job! Did you rollered the rims with rustoleum also? I plan to paint mines too, but not sure how easy the rollering will be in those crevices. Any tips and tricks welcome!!

Whooopppe. I remember you were having trouble getting the paint. Least you're sorted. Tried Ebay for Vactan? :D Yeah, now I found a cheap distributor here in Norway (aeo.no, for those norwegians around in the forum) More expensive than in UK, but still not that bad :) From ebay seems they send Vact...

Hi all, Got all the rustoleum today! :) RAL5012 for body, White RAL9010 for roof and Black for bumpers. Also got all the wet and dry sandpaper (400, 600 and 1200), 8 roller heads, 3 roller handles, 3 roller trays, white spirit, big soft brush (i will try also the dry brushing technique), and some ne...

Hei! Yes, is pretty blue :D Thanks! I think is the most similar to the original color. But I was wondering more if the ammount of paint is enough for my plans :) They said 2.5 L should make the whole van but is better to order a bit extra. So if i paint the roof in white, how much I need then? And f...

Looks beautiful folkers! Which color did u use?

Great! Thanks! Now it seems all make sense. Hehe. I will do that tomorrow. VW got all confused and got my timing 10 deg btdc with retard vac connected. So that is like 22 deg btdc disconnected!!! Finally I got my money back and will do it my self.

Thank you a lot all you guys!

Cheers!

Hi!

I am going order now my paint! RAL 5012 (similiar to LH5G) and i was thinking probably using white for the roof and well, black for the bumpers.

How does this numbers look?

-2.5L RAL 5012 for the whole van exept the roof
-0,75 L for the roof?
-0,25 L bumpers?

LOL! Well, i really don't know now either :rofl Everything for me looks like it rotates clockwise, but i don't have a very sharp eye to notice it at full speed :) Tings that make me believe it: -Originally it was indeed a DF engine, which is set at 5ATDC with vac connected (incl. retard vac) and cra...

Isn't it?

I was making analogy to this i found in samba:

Also if i rotate the pulley clockwise in 1st gear, the car moves forward... makes sense?

Thank you toomanytoys!

But isnt it the other way around? I mean, the picture is showing ~7-8 deg ATDC? Since in clockwise rotation, the TDC mark has already passed the crankcase centerline?

Well done fella. This has been the holy grail for many. :D I Agree I have spent many hours looking for this info.....unfortunately my colour isn't listed, but I recently found out my camper has been resprayed some time in the past and the new colour doesn't match the colour code anyway!!! This info...

Hello, Sorry again for asking about this. :oops: I took a picture of the pulley and how i think more or less should look when i see it with the strobe light, @~850rpm, with idle stabilizing unit plugs plugged together, and vac. pipes connected. http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/g369/toporopo/TIMIN...
