Primer backend

After an immense amount of sanding the body of the ambulance/camper area has made it into a corat of primer. 

I made a decision to not remove the gas cabinet and trim because I did not want to break the seal on areas that are not leaking 


The rear step has been taken away for some welding.. and the ladder has been removed I will see if I can find a smaller one whilst we have this opportunity


It's a bit of a pity that there are so many vent holes from old fridges, but they are there and they will stay because I don't want to risk any leaks taking them off

Repainting Part 2 ... New colour on the roof

First view of the new colour on the roof. This is just the first coat and there is a lot more to go.

The preparation has been to sand with 40 and then 80 grit, then a thorough wash, wipe with panel wipe degreaser and a wipe with a tack cloth.

Then first coat of primer which shows up the imperfections so another round of sanding and cleaning.

Repeated the primer and another clean, and then this went on...

It's finally raining here so it's going to be paused for now
