I got the whole underside coated in the protective anti stone chip, I used 3m bag sealer as it is good stuff and the closest match I can find to the origional coating, it certainly looks the part. Ten times better than your average gravitex or whatever. I've added a few close up shots too.

Well it's in primer now, I masked the inside off first I that I could prime the outside, demask it and then prime the inside to try and get a decent finish so that it wouldn't need a great deal of flaring before paint. If I did it all in one go the inside would have ended up too dry and dusty.

Thanks :)

Got all the primer flatted this week and finished off the sealer work, then got the van into the booth to paint the undernieth engine bay and inside.

Got the outside all finished up and painted this morning, hopefully the roof will be done this afternoon, I'm pleased with how it's turning out and now you can see the colour properly on the outside it looks a lot better.

The roof is now done, it's all damasked and out of the booth. I'll get the doors and bonnet done next week hopefully.
