Thanks Matt, so glad you like it.
Looks super cool, thanks for sharing the restoration.
Thanks Ian, appreciate that :-)
Hi Steve, you guys do a great job, I love the vids, thanks for sharing.
I am restoring a Viscount and I was wondering if you have any feedback about the longevity of the Dulux epoxy enamel? Have you seen any of your resto’s after a few years and how did the paint look, Chaulky?
Thanks, James.
Yes, its a good durable paint and is still looking good on the vans after several years. I am just about to paint another van and will be using it again. I am not really a painter though and it is likely that there are better paints out there, I choose what's easy, available and what I can get a reasonable finish with given my facilities, gear and skill.
Cool.
The finish on the aqua/polished aluminum looked pretty good when you zoomed in.
I would of liked to have 2pack Auto painted mine, but trying to save costs as it’s blowing out.☺️
I’ve ended up using the White Knight system, but after lots of deliberation, chose the quick dry water base enamel for the top coat. Just based on its longer warranty claims (maybe less yellowing and chaulky then the epoxy, we’ll see)
Thanks for replying 👍
Hey mate do you have any videos related to buffing old aluminium? We restoring the original cladding on our carapark.
Yep it’s in there someplace, might be my first vid I think
Hey, great video thanks! Can I ask how much primer, and how much paint you used please? This has inspired me to have a go at our friends caravan 👍🍻
You will need to buy 4 litres of each at least.
@@VintageRestorationsAustralia fantastic thanks 🍻
Woaaaaoò amazing, I got a carapark 1955 and I going to fixing but I was wondering if you can tell me where I can find the carapark stickers and 12v outdoor lights, excellent work you do I love all your videos. Thanks

Do you mean the running lights or exterior task lighting?
Hi Steve I am looking at painting my caravan 2015 jayco outback do I just need to rub down and 2 x top coats of metal shield apoxy? and I f I want to paint checker plate from alum to black does it require primer first?
Thanks
Jamie
I only really have experience with the Caraparks so would be reluctant to comment on painting your van, I'm not really a painter either and you would be best to get specific advice I would think :-)
Hi fantastic job, good inspiration for me. Can I ask what type of spray gun you are using (HVLP, LVLP?) and what size tip? Cheers
I used a cheapo 1.5mm HVLP gravity fed running down at about 18/20 psi from memory. I am not a painter at all, but happy to have a go, there are loads of good spray painting channels that would be more appropriate for detailed info on painting a van I would think.
Cool mate, thanks for taking the time to reply, I'm doing mine over the weekend, seeing your video convinced me to give it a go! cheers
