The plus side is,you know that the van is done RIGHT.When it is done right it will last allot longer.
Only thing I might have done different was use the blue looking primer last.That way, heaven forbid you get a minor chip in the paint.It would not be as noticeable it it is close to the final paint color.
The other good thing is you started whith a black van.Black shows allot the bad spots......

Yes... very VERY nice choice of blue! I hate it when people cheap out and don't paint the door jambs when they paint the outside another color. You on the other hand, are doing an excellent job. cool





Blue!? Really???? Another BLUE VAN? lol rofl Looks nice buddy. Looks a bit like Jimmy's blue.


Well, it will be mostly blue... angel I still like to surprise, so stay tuned... lol

It was a long way but it was worth it.

Got the layers of primer sanded back down till it was straight.

Put one coat of black primer on it.

[Linked Image]

Sprayed the custom blue base coat and preparing for the pattern on the sides..

[Linked Image]

That is a lot of tape. smile

[Linked Image]

Covering up the rest of the van.

[Linked Image]

It's a two-man job. (for those of you who don't know me, that's me in the black t-shirt)

[Linked Image]

[Linked Image]

Spraying white base..

[Linked Image]

And then two layers og GOLD shimmer on top of white.

[Linked Image]

And finally clear coat.

[Linked Image]

Rear.

[Linked Image]

Fresh out of the paint booth.

Also got the rear lights blacked out.

[Linked Image]

Got most of the parts put back on. Started to drizzle when I got it home.
