Hi all,
Has anyone thought of, or attempted to, paint the lower chequer plate/grey/silver section of a Expanda OB ?
I have just attempted it with great success. I don't have any background in this type of work,( I'm an underwater welder/boilermaker) but thought I would give it a crack. I hassled the panel beater/spray painter in the factory next door to give me some hints and off I went.
It took the best part of 6Hrs. just to remove lights, reflectors, clean, sand and mask-up the whole van.
I sprayed a special 'Plastic Flexible Primer' onto all of the plastic parts as per instructions.
Then it was time to start putting the paint on... I used a 2 pack satin black paint.
The results are awesome if I might say so myself, not even a small run, no over spray, nothing.
It has made the van look totally different and a lot more modern, which was the main aim of the project.
If anyone is interested in going down the same path, I would highly recommend it.
I have tried adding before and after photos with no luck.....sorry.
