Well with bug jam fast approaching the missus and i decided it was high time to paint the van.
Well i decided that to get her to maintain interest i should give her a fair amount of decision making in the final scheme of things. One such decision was the colour. Please see attached photo, I think i can safely say there will not be a dull day when the van is about, and i definatley won't loose her in a car park.
The colour is growing on me slowly but i feel i need a bit more time to adjust.

Had an old Fiesta in that colour. It was
bright but on a rainy morning it was a great 'cheerer upper' on the way to work.
I like it.

Mine was B&Q Crown 'Aqua Green'.
My old man was a coach painter and he did it all with a brush, outdoors. No bristle marks at all.

i went down my workshop to do some bits and pieces on her and as soon as i saw her it brought a smile to my face,
