i would say about an hour for each panel if there is no other holes to deal with once the old panels come off. then seam sealant and paint .

Interesting thread, but keep thinking of the wire wheel on the end of a drill and I have just one word - GOGGLES :shock:

well, the Vactan arrived today... just need to get my head around the priming/painting business, not something I've done before....

Can anyone advise me on what to do with that seam where the sticker stripes run over it, anything really I can do other than having a gap in the sticker? Would seem pointless replacing the whole sticker as the whole van could probably do with a respray sometime in the future

Touch it in with a similar coloured paint for now?
