It would be easy to believe that you know what you are doing. [cl

 

[falconvan]

Don’t believe it!

Thanks!I was full on Mr Miagi today; “Daniel-San, sand the floor!” Finished spraying the sealer on the walls, sanded the ceiling, sanded the floor, epoxy primered the floor and the jambs, and painted the inside of the front doors. I’m beat like a dog.

What makes me think this truck is going to be blue?

I'm tired just thinking about sanding all that floor. I would have considered a good cleaning and a shot of bed-liner.

Amazing work. Keep it up. You are going to have a nice van when you're done.

The floor actually wasn’t that bad. Sanding the whole ceiling over my head while kneeling down; now that really sucked.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, with carpeted walls and ceiling! Maybe even some of those mirrored tiles on the ceiling, right over the bed? It is going to have the required bed in it, right? [ddd[ddd[ddd

Nah, it’s going to be a hauler so it’ll just have a full rubber matt in the back. No frills.

flip the car on the side....
awesome job. I love the color

 

[falconvan]

Thanks! Painted the inside; I’ll give it a few days to dry and then tape it off to shoot the ceiling.

You are doing an awesome job, going to be to nice to be just a hauler.[dr

 

[Bamamav]

Do you look like Poppa Smurf now Pat? [ddd[ddd

The blue is looking great, can't wait to see the outside done! [cl[cl[cl

 

[falconvan]

Lol! I think I’m more like Gargamel.

 

[falconvan]

Trying to paint the ceiling was just miserable; there’s no way to hold the gun straight to the surface. You’re always at a weird angle and it comes out with overspray streaks. I hope I can hit it with some polish and make it a little better. At least there will be a headliner on the front section to hide some of it.

 

[Skip]

Lookin' good!

Consider this. You said there will be no bed in the back, so no one will be looking up anyway. [ddd

 

[falconvan]

Very true!

 

[smallfoot]

Should have put one of those fancy rotisseries together to paint it....[ddd
Looking good anyway...

I wonder if there is an attachment or special nozzle for painting up. Could be as simple as a 90-degree elbow where the tip attaches. I'll bet someone here could make such a device.
