At the same time I am probably consistent spraying horizontally. Or do the edges of each section and then fill? I like to change directions when I paint each coat and I thought maybe vertically for the last coat would make it easier to keep a wet edge. In that case I would do two medium coats and a wet coat.ĭo I try to spray horizontally all the way across the side panels or up and down. I am considering doing 3 coats which would give me a little more paint if I need to sand out orange peel or drips. This manufacture recommend two coats, a medium coat and a wet coat. I am pretty sure I have more than enough red but I am not sure about the white. How much white do I need?.i have 1 gallon of white and 1 gallon of red. Here are some specific questions that I have. I am expecting this to be the most challenging paint job I have undertaken to this date. Although I am considering painting the roof out side under a tarped carport roof.

I'm painting it in a barn i've cleaned and tarped to be a decent paint booth. I'm not sure about that yet but I have to leave my options open and get at it when time shows up. I hoped to dedicate a whole weekend to this but that weekend already passed so I may have to do it over multiple days. I'm painting it the original color of this van which was Chianti Red and Pastel White top and interior. The rear cargo door is off, the engine lid is still on but the apron is off.īumpers are off and the side rail covers are off. I will be painting the interior jambs and at least a coat on the floor boards. The exterior has a few coats of sanded down primer and I will be using a sealer at the end that needs to be topcoated in a day or resanded, The inside was spot treated for bits of rust and spot primed has been treated and the interior is out the headliner is going to be replaced but for now I have just pealed it back in a few spots where I want to get paint. The van is stripped down to the bones with all the windows and rubber out and the dash covered I have painted a couple bugs, a ghia and two trailers with this paint and my bug was originally painted with this same stuff when it was new and called Imron 33years ago. I'm using Nasson Ful-thane 2k Urethane topcoat. I really want the van to come out good and those big flat panels have me worried The bus I started with was in pretty good shape I think I have the body work handled and I know about good prep but could use some pointers on painting. I'm painting my 71 bus and could use some tips.
