L90D Pastel White

Looks a good finish there Meggles , how bad was it before and how many coats in this photo ?

I I cant see from the chart a Ivory or cream colour only pure white Your common slightly cream/white, known by VW as "Pastel white L90D", is available ready mixed from Avenue Coatings . They are very helpful. So on the Rustoleum colour chart is that the white with ref no. 7392 or is L90D ...

I am looking to start rollering my van before winter hits and have few questions which I have searched for but to no avail , firstly is it worth looking for some kind of shelter to cover my hitop T25 whilst I paint it (if there is one big enough ?) secondly I am looking to do a two tone van , top in...

When it stopped working on mine it was the igniter unit , think it was about £20 from local caravan centre , they tested my old one for me so can't help with wiring sorry.

Whilst rubbing down the hitop I see an area of previous damage that has been repaired but considerable cracking , as the cracks are not severe enough to fill
I am wondering weather I should treat it with a flexible coat of some kind or just a thin smear of filler ?

Thanks Jake , I assume can be over painted , and do I run it around guttering or not needed ?

I had a leak somewhere on my hitop so I am starting checks all round the hitop roof , I need to locate the fastening bolts as there seems to be movement/play in the side walls on the roof ,however I don't want to remove the headling if possible , also which sealant should I use around the body to ro...

Bugs and potential for chilly nights can give you grief. yeah but I would like to get some paint done before the winter , I have started prepping will see how the weather goes hope we get a few warm days in Sept. , I notice we are already getting heavy dew a...
