- Cozy Cabin Van Build // EP 04.
In this episode I show you how I painted my van on the driveway using nothing but a bit of imagination and a 4” foam roller..
The result came out 100% better than I ever thought was possible painting by hand.
This cost under £200 & yet again completely transformed the look of the van!
If you’re having a go yourself and you want some tips shoot me message!

I’m a old bastard but I have hope for some like this fella.
Ayee means a lot Marco, age is just a number though 🙃
Cool tunes and content.
I need those tyres! Great job. I change my paint order to satin finish! Thanks for the advice
You've given me the confidence to go ahead and roller paint my 04 Jeep Cherokee in satin black now. Awesome video, and the van looks bang on.
Go for gold!!
Great job Brad, your casual attitude belies the work you always put into everything. Take care buddy.
Haha thanks Del Boy, lots of swearing and problem solving behind the ‘casual attitude’ 😅
Excellent job! I think that looks great and that is the same color I plan on using. I didn't know I wanted the satin finish until I saw how your van turned out so, thank you. Safe travels.
Glad I could help! Satin over Matt finish everyday of the week! 👊🏼
Great job! Enjoyed watching this video 🤗
Haha love those ladder safety skills 😂
hahaha had my safety bandana on though right?!
Looks amazing! Great tunes as well = )
Thanks Summer, glad you dig it! 👊🏼
Killer results! My vivaro will get a new look very soon. Great vid.... Inspires confidence to crack on and have a go. Cheerz!
Always have a crack first! Can always pay someone to fix it after! Ahaha
Good luck 💀🤘🏼
Insane! Very talented. Pretty fit too 😜
Ahaha thanks my man 💀🤘🏼

What's that tune you have on in background when your painting it it's a right track and you are smashing your van looks sick pal
Thanks dude! Elliot Adamson - You Don’t Understand
Tune.🏆👍
Buen vídeo 👌 gracias.
So nice ❤❤❤❤
Love it Mate! Bought a Peugeot Boxer Minibus to convert - but engined seized! Should be back on the road soon the start conversion. Cheers Chris.
Ayee wicked man! Sorry to hear about the engine but a mini bus to convert sounds prime!
Painting my van today and this was a big help. Thank you. New sub here
Glad to be of assistance! 💀🤘🏼
Good job man!
Thanks bud!
Mate! That is throbbin......I'm doing mine now.....
Go for it man!
@@BradWithTheVan I have since done it, 2 coats of surplus MOD paint that ìs anti Fleur or something! It has dried like a ceramic coating almost, very hard finish and I get loads of comments from all sorts of people!!! You inspired me, thanks.....
@@jasonga great news man! 😁
Nice job bro
Thanks man 💀🤘🏼
Nice one mate 👌 found you from the FB van life group. Van looks amazing 😁 hopefully bump into you up the north of Scotland if you're riding up there this season.
Yes mate thanks for the kind words! Never been riding in Scotland so that has to change!
@@BradWithTheVan you'll love it man. Plenty of space to park the van also
@@RSH220 Thats what I like to hear!
Love the paint job, I've been thinking about painting mine since I've seen your video!
How is the paint holding up? Any chance a photo update? 😅😁
Do it man! No regrets here, still looks awesome after a jet wash and it survived a winter in Austria in harsh weather 👍🏼
Hi mate, great video, quick question how did you manage to avoid roller lines in your paint finish.
I’ve roller painted a van before but there was lines all over it, got a newer van now but body on it is terrible so I’m going satin slate grey on this one.
Any advice would be awesome.
Cheers geez
Common question, but I found that thinning the paint and getting as much out of the roller as possible before dipping it back in the paint tray prevented the lines. Just keep adding layers til you’re happy! 🤘🏼
Watched this video few times bro, so tempted to do my vw crafter swb!! Satin quantum grey I'm thinking!
Do it 💀🤘🏼
@@BradWithTheVan Did you just use thinners on last coat? Is it possible to paint one day sand the next and paint another coat? Just worried about drying times, Thanks man
@@jacklightburn6585 did three coats and used TH25 thinners after I realised I should have done it with the first coat. Much easier to apply as the paint is oil based and hard to apply without it.
The thinner you apply coats the quicker it dries, really doesn’t take long to be touch dry 👍🏼
@@BradWithTheVan Belter thanks mate, take it easy lad and keep going with the content!!!
@@jacklightburn6585 be hard at the minute but I’ll be back soon!
Great video, feeling confident to do mine now. Great tunes as well. Got a link to the music??
Do it! Music in the description
use a proper brush to get a better finish after applying with rollers
This is awesome, planning on doing my T5 in this colour soon. How’s it held up a year on??
Still spot on after one jet wash a week!
Hi, great attitude do the job properly first time, done good job.
Ps, what is the tune? Its stuck in my head, I need to know
Thanks for the kind comments man 😁
Tune is in the description 🤘🏼
What Ryan said 👌
hahaha thanks my G!
Looks great! Is this 2k, 1k or a synthetic resin paint? Have you used extra thinner or hardener?
All info is in the description and in the video dude, it’s not resin paint and I used a small amount of thinners 🤘🏼
Looks awesome dude, get much debris in the paint from doing it outside?
A few bits now and then but the paint dries super quick when you put it on in thin coats! Thanks bud!
Do you put new coat on top of coat with out sanding in between or is sanding required between coats?
I did not sand between coats, 3 years on shes still spot on!
How's the finish hold up a few months on ? Looking to do similar but unsure on the uniformity (roller marks) and durability (scratches) ! Cracking result 👏
Still spot on and I've done over 1000 miles since too! It does scratch easily but I have enough paint to touch up in the summer again if need be! No visible roller marks if applied thin with a few coats! - Hope that helps!
@@BradWithTheVan awesome 😊
Looks great how well is it doing after 2 years?
Still going strong, no regrets or touch ups needed 💪🏼
Great job Brad, What mix did you use with this thinners ie, Ratio? (Hope that makes sense?)
I think for every litre of paint I used 100ml of thinners
@@BradWithTheVan awesome pal thank you
@@fullcyclerichie5669 any more questions feel free to ask
Planning to do mine in the spring, great to see this, thank you! Do we have to let dvla know the colour of the vehicle’s been changed..? 👏🙏
Yes I didn’t cover that, just fill out your V5C with the change in colour and send it off! Good luck ☺️
@@BradWithTheVan thanks so much! Hope mine will look as fab as yours, got my own satin green at the ready!! 🙏
@@truenatureblog keep applying coats til you’re happy! Will need at least two! ☺️
How much paint did you use for this van ? I want to do my own van.
What is it like washing it after it was painted? Does the paint flake off or anything? Cheers mate
Can confirm after nearly 2.5 years with no touch ups it’s still not flaking, bit of wear and tear from everyday use but to be expected!
Awesome bro, how many days do you reckon it took you? Cher
Took me 2days to prep and 3/4 days to paint, this was spread out over two weeks as I was fighting the weather 🤣
So pick a decent week and youl have it done in no time!
Good luck 😁
Hi. You didn't put a primercoat on first?
Would you sat this isn't needed if you aren't taking all of the original paint off?
Hi Marc! Nope this paint is exactly what the old boys use to repaint their battered landrovers after sending it off road. Every step I did is exactly as is in the video. Wash surfaces thoroughly, lightly key the paint and then whack the paint on! Finish is still looking great after 3 years! 🫡
@BradWithTheVan cheers. Did the bonnet today, so will see how it looks over next few days
@@marcbundy7835 Trust the process man, first coat looks like youve ruined a perfectly good van, 2nd coat everything was starting to look good, 3rd coat was absolutely epic!
@@marcbundy7835 go for it lad!
Hi m8 how dose this look now is it still fresh or is it patchy or that any photos
It’s standing the test of time, still spot on after a good clean. Usual marks from daily use but still decent 🤙🏼
Thanks for getting back to me I’m gonna go for this on my caddy love the tires also man just love the overall look of the van
hi mate. just some basic questions i bought old van want to brighten it up a bit, but for health reasons want to make it as simple as possible really aint too fussed about the outcome. I'd really appreciate your help. 1. can i just do a simple sand using those sponge type sander or do i need electric sander 2. what grade of sandpaper 3. what type of paint 4. what type of roller?can i use a small one 5. how many coats. cheers!!
Hey man, check the description for everything I used including paint and rollers!
You don’t need to actually sand the vehicle with this type of paint but I just keyed the whole surface anyway and 3 years on she’s still looking great!
1st coat looks terrible but but the end of the second it looked spot on. I did 3 in the end for all the larger panels 💀🤘🏼
@@BradWithTheVan yer i had a look at your van, looks great!!. Thanks for the tips might flick through the transcript i saw one other video so far, they did 3 coats too. Coming up to summer here in australia i might give it a go myself my van isn't as classy as yours and i got a quote for someone else to do it which was too pricey for me.
nice job what paint is that called
Nato Green Satin, links in description bud 💀🤘🏼
Hi. Can bumpers be painted with this paint?
Probably wouldn’t advise it. Shoot them an email to see if anyone else has
Did you clear coat it after?
No need as its a satin finish. Wouldnt have used this paint if I wanted a gloss finish bud!
How many litres did it take mate?and what tape was it?
I bought two tins in the end to cover myself. Still have most of my second tin left! With the thinner a little goes along way! Blue Tape is from 3M
@@BradWithTheVan thanks for your time and getting back to me,how did it hold up?mine van is just an old caddy so might get away with one tin
@@tomthehighlandexplorer8085 one tin of 5L thinned down with TH25 will see you right dude! 🤘🏼
Two years on still going strong, no flaking ecttt. Not perfect like day one but still comes up a great after a quick jet wash!
you forgot to remove that bag from the bonnet.
Silly me 🥲
Whos missed that late September sun?!
Deffo not wearing shorts now!! 💀
So satin was the way to go? I’ve just ordered my paint and realised I ordered Matt 🤦🏻
Return it dude, way easier to maintain and clean satin, still super easy to get a good finish too 💀🤘🏼
Did you used antirust paint?
No dude just NATO Green Satin straight out the tin with a bit of thinners 🤘🏼
@@BradWithTheVan primer ? Also ?
@@Gangstawalk1 nope just lightly sanded you don’t need primer with the paint I used. All the old boys do their landrovers the same way 🫡
@@BradWithTheVan okok sorry im french and i cannot find the same paint, but at the shop i found an oil paint with antirust properties in it so i suppose it will be good?
@@Gangstawalk1easy no stress! Yes a lot of people hand paint vans with that 🤘🏼
And here I am, wishing my pain peeling silver boxer was white not to be so bloody hot in the summer 🥵
Hahaha if it’s insulated well it will also have a reverse effect in the hotter months of the year!
