It looks really smart, had a wee drive by on Saturday.  You've done a smashing job on it.

Really nice job. What paint method did you use (Brush, spray, etc) and where did you get your paint from?

Thanks

I mainly used the roller method, went on a treat and used the brush for awkward bits. I got the paint from A L Paints in Kilmarnock, works out about £17 a litre I think.

Perfect. That's what I wanted to hear... And what prepwork did you do on it before rollering a bucketload of paint on? :)

Hi mate,

I used etch primer where required after giving all the panels a rub down with a 600 grade wet/dry.

Primed panels with 2 coats of grey primer, a rub down between coats and then 1 coat of the enamel finish coat. Primer was rolled on as well. I used small gloss rollers from Homebase.

Hope this helps.

Well, still been at it. Having done the conversion I had to get it all painted. I've still got the drivers door to finish but it's finally taking shape!
