Paint job looks awesome, suppose it wasn't a roller paint job then ,did you do it yourself?

Cellulose or 2 pack?

What did you use on the seams etc to stop rust bubbling through in a couple of years?

Def not a roller ! I used a sata 3000 1.3 chip foose limited edition awesome gun. Yes I did all the prep and paint my self and got the panel beater at work to do the panel work. I used ppg solvent base coat and standox HS clear coat .
Luckily the seams are good just dig out etch then 2k prime then reseal.

Very nice, love the colour.

And another big thumbs up from me - that looks awesome!

And that is quite a spray shop too

Can I ask please, what did you do when painting the fibreglass roof section; I have the self-same design roof and will be respraying my van shortly, using 2 pack solid colour [clear over base]

Also, your roof look to have rubber hold-down toggle straps,am I correct? Did you have those flimsy metal ones before, which were fitted from new by Holdsworth? My metal ones are tired and I get a wind whistle due to a poor seal, which drives me mad, so would like to replace them

Cheers, Doug.

Hi Doug

When i sprayed the fibreglass part of the roof , I sanded it with p320 on a da sander then used a 2k plastic primer from standox (stinks of fish for some reason). then 2k primed it .
I do have the rubber toggle straps, they were already on it when i bought her. They work just fine and have not noticed any wind noise.

Hope that helps feel free to ask any other questions.

Looks great. Is that the new Scirocco colour?
