womballs 74 project DAISY

Got the bottom half in colour today the good old side shot so let that go off and get the top half done hopefully Monday

 

Looks stunning, lovely colour

 

Thanks it's bahama blue but looks a bit greener in the pics the miss picked it

 

lovely lovely job hat s off

 

Cheers for the good words iv got a few more to do to keep up with you

 

its not the amount ye do its in the QUALITY and i think you have that covered classsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

Cheers I'm hoping I might make a small business out of it in the future

 

go for it

 

Looking great

 

So started the top to day and here's some pics but you will have to wait till tomorrow for the complete reveal but got one bit to repair as found or should say missed some pin hole's in the window frame so not happy but shiiiiiiiiiit happens

 

And here she is just needs a good wet sand and moping and start the doors next

 

Just a little bit to repair and that's the shell finished

 

Thats looking bloody marvelous. Not many rescued to that standard from the pile of rust you started out with. Most folk would have scrapped that. It just goes to show what can be saved with great skill and determination. If you start a small resto business there wont be any better advert than this van or the post that goes along with it. Its doubtful you will ever have to contend with something as bad as this on a customer project, so my guess would be that any customers vans would be most excellent by the time you finished them .

Im dead jealous your in paint by the way...

 

lovely colour combo class

 

good colour choice and looks nice and straight - hope mine gets there in the end!

 

I might've asked you this before, but what paint did you use? 2K?

 

I remember looking at this in real life and I cannot believe how outstanding a good job you've made of it. Absolutely brilliant work.

 

Yes 2k it's good strong hardwaring paint ideal for these old busses but I like base and clear

 

What'd you do in terms of PPE? I'm currently debating doing the paintwork on our van as I'm not sure if my budget will stretch to a pro job. I now have access to the 150L compressor on the farm, plus my 50L compressor so should be able to run both a gun and breathing equipment. I'm a loooong way of painting but like to try and get an idea of how other DIYers have got on with 2K.

 

Seriously brilliant work.
