Well pleased..will need flating down with 400 wet and dry then a second coat and polish. Then the top half in white ,with some blue on the sides of the roof ala Beach bum... Its all been very therapeutic, even Erin approves.

Very pleased with the coverage , I thought I'd see more of the patches through the paint, but only a couple are slightly visible. So far Ive only used 20% of my tin of rustoleum..this stuff goes along way :o :o

yeah,ive been round 3 times(i think :lol: ) and ive still got a third of a tin left.i need to do the final coat but it looks good enough to me..just a couple of bits to do and the sliding door covers need a second coat but it looks ok for me.not looking forwards to the rubbing down though..it seems easy to do but the van is rather large

Foam brushes? When I did last van I used the roller all over and used an artist brush for the small areas. (Might have been p!$$ artist though).
