    Roof ready for painting, I'm wanting to paint body colour up to the gutter and then white roof but I'm not sure where exactly to change colour, white inside gutter or all the way over the outside of the gutter to the top of the vertical panels?

    I should have more pics but am experiencing strange phenomenon at the workshop!

    Strange Phenomenon?
     
  10. Looks amazing Flakey, if you have any panels or parts left over I've got my own camper that needs ALOT of work!
    Cheers

    White inside gutter, body colour outside gutter, you get a much better line - just look above you rear windows and rear hatch and imagine trying to mask up here.

    A few reactions with bits of old Hammerite I'd not properly removed that'll need redoing and it was a bit too cold and damp in there today, on eBay now looking for a parafin space heater.

  13. Oil filled radiators are better dude... Anything that burns will create moisture...

    I hear what you're saying but I need instant heat for a few hours that I'm there and it's a poorly insulated shed.

    Still prepping away, decided this morning that this panel had loads of micro blisters and too many layers of paint so strip disced it off,

    Small bit of rot that I'll weld up tomorrow

    Stripped the cab bits that'd reacted to the primer where I'd previously Hammerited

    Quick blast of etch before going home

    About another 20 hours to get the shell primed I recon.

  18. WOW great work... as for greens.... Tiaga Green is my favourite, I think it suits a bus perfectly. Neptune Blue is a nice colour too ;)

  20. Great work on the prep. Our bay was Brilliant Orange but is now dove Blue. I sometimes wish we had kept it its original colour but I do love the blue.
