So after Circle-yer-Wagens (great meeting) it was off to Weedspeed in Douglas for a respray.

The first day involved stripping all the bits off, due to time constraints/lack of rubbers the windows stayed in (apart from the screen that was being replaced).
A blast over with a high pressure/temp washer revealed.

Micro-blisters in the orange paint.

Rust in a couple of seams, this being the worst.

After 2 days of sanding.



Then in to primer.

Then flatted.


Mr. Weed & helper.

White base coat applied to roof and swage.



Toffee brown base applied.


The end result.



Well chuffed I is, Weed will do resprays starting from 2000 ukp.
Thanks to Kev the Rev for the white ideas.
