Hey so someone commented awhile back about checking into replacing your fuel lines, as they can rupture and spray gas on your van and burn it down, not to scare you just inform I just came across this video VW Westfalia camper van EXPLODES - after family escapes its what can happen, but there is a product (I'm not affiliated just letting you know) called blazecut fire suppression system that gets mounted in your engine compartment and automatically extinguishes a fire if it were to happen, this is a video title showing the system How To: Blazecut Fire Suppression System Installed on a VW Vanagon. Protect your van from a fire!! Looking into the fuel lines and the fire suppression system may be worthwhile, want to see you enjoy your van for long time to come
It may take off a layer of oxidized paint and hopefully the "Krud" as well. One caution, though, you'll likely have to launder the buffing pads ( you'll need several).
Enjoyed the washing, cute washing 😊 Your Vanagon exterior color is actually nice. Washing it made it look nice. I found out paint job on these vans are expensive.
Was your van the pale yellow color originally? There might be some chemicals that will strip a layer or two of clear coat and paint, but it is probably best to just rough up the surface, mask things off, and paint it some interesting design. My friend did that (with professional painting help), and it turned out really great. I would look into asking friends and family to help you prep it for paint, and then get some help to paint if you aren't able to paint it all yourself.
Yeah I’m pretty sure it has always been the pale yellow, not as pale as the bleached parts, but I also assume it has oxidized over time, so who knows 🤷🏻♀️
yes my 4runner gets bugs bad u have the perfect truck to give it a acid wash paint job. brighten it up a little put your van on the moon paint job on it. I bet macco or econo paint could do it... don't worry it was meant to be ,,, u got to embrace the moment and redecorate the outside of your van enjoy all your traveling years ,, making facebook friends for life,, & growing your channel do 101 from santa barbra to astoria is some amazing places to escape hot summer days,,, 59 outside in july today ..
@@VanOnTheMoon My comment didn't age well. Just saw the amount of comments on your Ancestry Part 1 video. Looks like I need to take a lunch break halfway through the Thumbs Up tour on that one.
Dang, just saw this. I am the one that said it could just be the Krud Kutter dried on, sorry to see that it looks like the paint is probably messed up! I should have mentioned to just try washing it off of a small area, the krud kutter has to be wet when you scrub/wash it off. Sorry that it didn't work!
If it were me, I'd focus on fixing each rusty spot - one at a time. Then you can primer over and put temporary rattle can paint over. It's already a mess so why not try to fix the rusty spots well? Maybe tackle the worst area first...decide if you want a shop to do it or if you want to learn a new skill. Once all the bad areas get fixed (may take a while) - then you can rattle can it or save up for a paint job or both.
Hey fellow Mooners I’ve ordered my stickers, have you? We have to support the work that goes into the channel and live stream. Not to mention dentist and paint job costs!
Sure about your van. Love your accent. It's great. 😅
Thank you 🥰
It's easy to like people that are happy.
Bummer, I'd say clean the whole van with the Krud cutter and get it all to match. Then polish/wax. Sweet van 💕🤙 my dad has a '71
I can't wait to see what you decided to do about the exterior of your van. 🤔
Honestly I’ll probably end up painting it like a bus straight out of SF 1969
@@VanOnTheMoon Cool. 👍 I wish I was there to help. Sounds like fun.

Thank you for the info!! One of mine is already slightly leery actually! Right where the port is to fill the gas is a little drippy

That’s a good way to look at it :)

Yeah I got quoted $13k for one , which is more than I paid for the van!!
@@VanOnTheMoon that’s about right 13-15k, yikes

You righttt, honestly that’s the main option I’m looking at right now, get the rust off and repaint it myself as a crazy trippy masterpiece
pretty hair
Thank you :)
Doing my mid-week Thumbs up, and wow, this is the most I have ever given on a single video.
It’s working!! This video is one of my most viewed ever now :)

Every time you play the ukulele, I start dancing.
Amazing 😂
I might have to disagree with the title. The van is living its best life ever. Blessed.
I love seeing the mooner badge by your name!!! I just designed it a few days ago and added it

It’s all good! Just more motivation to do the paint project sooner !!
It’s your vans sprit animal .
Pale yellow zebra . I say embrace it and paint it like it 💛 zebra 🦓
The bugs make the van look like vanilla bean ice cream 🍨
This is a great way to look at it 😂🤘🏼

Lol just scrub it down with sandpaper then paint it. Cool bus
So pretty 😍
Thank you :)

I don't think it's that bad, Seriously I've seen worse.Great video as always.
Thank you :)
You are adorable. I subscribed. ❤
I love your profile pic lol
@@VanOnTheMoon 🤣
Paint a mural on the outside, something with a psychedelic octopus.
Yuuup, it seems like that’ll be my plan! Get all the rust off and then just let my creativity explode onto the walls
Maybe if you cover the whole van with Crud Cutter it will at least be even. ?
I’ve considered this

This is my favorite comment ever 😂❤️🔥
you should paint your car fun different designs :) it could look really cool
That’s my plan currently :)
What about trying to buff it out using a buffing wheel?
That’s a good idea!
Patina
Just remember the worse it looks the less someone will be tempted to steal it
That’s one mentality that’s been helping me through this 😂🤘🏼
Wow, are you really a marine biologist? That really fucks me up.
