I know this sounfs reak flakey but ...

So as I finish the rusted body work on the rear arch // appliance panels
my thoughts turn to getting the 85 Van painted
I get the usual nonsense quotes 5K plus then 2K, then  800 ...

So i start reading about paint & come across the story on samba

about a Cdn guy from To that has painted a number of vehicles with tremclad
rust paint & foam rollers
and much labour .....

I was just wondering if any body else has ever tried this technique on there
Vanagon,
what I like about this is that
I dont what a realy perfect job because I'll want to take the van to the 4x4
road, the forestry service areas
and I dont want to worry about normal off road camping scratches ... and I
know this tremcladis very much an industrial paint of have used it for years
on metal rails, outdoor gear & left it out & never had to worry about it ..

thoughts ?
