Hi guys,
That's it, after years of procrastination , I finally decided to repaint
my Vanagon camper.
Its a 1983 air-cool camper . The color is Ivory - L567.
While I should be Okay painting it, I need advice about the paint itself .
Originally , the paint was a glasurit single-stage lacquer but I don't
know if the original paint is still there. From the sending , I can see
a gray primer + ivory coat + clear.
So far , I removed the clear coat, I did not sand to the metal because
the base coat is good for most part. I did sand however to the metal
around rusty area with a marge.
I guess my question is which kind of paint I should buy . I need a good
primer to stick on the previous base coat, 2 base coat and one of two
clear coat.
So far I am leaning toward urethane paint but I want to hear about your
experiences.
I also would like to know where to buy the paint (a place which knows
about Ivory - L567. color). which brand ?. somehow I would like the
primer, base and clear to be from the same manufacture for the sake of
compatibility .
Should I use a filler in the spot where I sand to the metal ?
Any tips is welcome.
Thanks
