Finally getting round to a respray on our 16 camper. It is going back to its original bamboo yellow (has been white and orange). Decided to strip back to bare metal, as there has been keying issues with the previous paint jobs and it will also enable a good inspection of the dreaded seams.
Nitromors is fantastic stuff
Here are some pictures of the mission-

Today plus an evening last week. I ran a grinder with a flap disc over the paint first to score it and help the stripper.

That nitromors is deadly.
Make sure those seems are well sorted.
I used 2 pack primer filler cellulose friendly and top coated with cellulose.

Wow.... well done for having the balls to do it right.

Paint going on our Camper this weekend. I dread to think how many hours have gone into this - heres a quick update

Bloomin 'eck Pete, that's a lot of graft.

Hope you've got enough energy left to finish that bit of welding on my single-cab sometime !

Looks a goodun pete. btw the wheel carrier is great - well pleased

Got to admire your balls..............

Puts my planned old rattle can/masking tape job to shame.

Andy - Your bit of welding is no probs, especially after this

yes yellow is a good syncro colour
