Looking good!

I've been meaning to get to rolling our van. So far managed to rattle can the cowl vent and another small piece under the grill and was very happy with it.

I was thinking I'd attack one panel at a time but was wondering about opinions on a few things:

1) between panels... rattle can would obviously get in there but do you use a brush for those parts if you choose to roll?

2) our rig has (what i assume to be) original painted on designs. we'd like to maintain these but it seems that this will be difficult with the wet sanding aspect of the rolling or rattle can application. will i need to focus on solid color first and then add the designs back on top of that? is there a particular tape that will not mess up my solid but also give me a good line? how long would i let the solid cure after it has been clear coated before i cant ape for the other?

Hey 86, Thanks! Cowl has held up well after a year. Guess I'll just wing it and see what happens. Not going for a show van just want to get 'er looking a little better.

2016. Since I never did any clear coating, the blue started to fade.
