I haven't been on-line in much capacity over the past two weeks; mainly taking the advantage to spend a little time on Wally to take his refurb of the outside a bit further. The weather has been good over the past week here in Malvern.
So to recap we started with this:
There was an interim period of this:
But now all major holes and knocks have been worked on, treated accordingly, filled, sanded and painted.
Painting was fun, having read on excess the "roller" thread and getting to the point of ordering paint to change the colour, but we U-turned and decided the brown actually worked on the van - something a little different at least...so the decision was to spruce up rather than re-new.
With a close match from a rattle can for the wing the mission was on to repair it! The rest was painted using the roller method with the 2k paint left over from its previous body work exploitations. The 2k paint went on so well with a roller, far better than I imagined, I plan to redo the wing so it matches colour wise. I am under no illusion that the wing will need doing again - I don't think I could have applied more vactan or ACF50 to this section to stop it 100%.
The passenger side was also repainted in sections where the rust was treated and sections sanded.
The roof was looking a little tired so a splash of cream was applied (3 coats), albeit it hammerite....with a brush!!
At this point I was more interested to see the colour and affect, which works well and obviously matches the surrounds on the back windows, so will it will be rollered in the future. But on a whole the finish is actually alright.
So all being said this is how Wally now looks and will stay with some minor additions in the future.

good work on the reprint but keep an eye on the areas with the filler as the dreaded rust had a habit of coming back
