Re: Front grill removal and painting

All done
Took them off and washed them in warm soapy water
Rubbed them down with sandpaper then dusted off
Spray-painted with black satin from the poundshop - 2 tins
Within 2 hours all dry and back on the van
Finish is brilliant, I am well happy with them
All for £2 lol :ok

sunroof sunblock???

Ive bought the reflective pads that go on the windows to insulate the van and keep out the light when camping, but, what do I do with the sunroof (tintop) as the sun blares through first thing in the morning?
