    Just binge watched the series so far. Good clear advice. Thanks.
    Are you going to have belted seating in the rear or are you just going 3-across in the front?

    • @Rags2Pitches

      Thanks so much! We did go back and forth about that for ages…. In the end we decided just to use the ones in the front! 💜

    Looks great, I like the colour when it's on the van as opposed to the colour in the tin. If you can black the plastics it would look amazing! Great work and good tips for anyone who is going to paint their van.

    • @Rags2Pitches
      @Rags2Pitches  3 месяца назад +1

      Thanks Ched! I agree …. It was a bit scary looking in the tin but went on nicely! I was looking at some back to black today…. So defo going to do that and get some wheel trims…. I think that will really make it pop 🤞

    My dad painted his camper van and car using a paint brush and it was so good everyone thought he had spray painted it.

    • @Rags2Pitches
      @Rags2Pitches  2 месяца назад

      That’s cool! What colour did he paint them?

    Teamwork makes the dream work hey! Looking good, I immediately started thinking what you would name her ( him!? ) and wonder whether tonight’s result may influence your decision?

      Yasss….. Cali came up with the name Gretel (alongside Greenie) which we think could be a good name! Don’t think we will call the van Harry 😂😂😂

    looking good how about back to black for the plastics

    • @Rags2Pitches
      @Rags2Pitches  3 месяца назад +1

      Yes!!! Great minds think alike! I was searching this up earlier today! 💯 going to do this soon! Should be a quick cheap job (hopefully)🤞

      Just in case you don't see my other comment ​@@Rags2Pitches- don't use b2black - it's crap - it just fades again really quickly. Use forever black. £30 but dead easy to apply and you can do all plastics with one pack.

    did you really need to paint the roof as it cant really be seen plus when you add the stuff to the roof most of it will be covered, also you should have used panel wipe/thinners to clean the paint work and don't touch it after as the grease/oils in the skin will leave traces behind and the paint wont stick, wow hand rolling a van that's a first for me lol
    what kind of paint is that you are using ?

    • @Rags2Pitches
      @Rags2Pitches  3 месяца назад

      Ah yes - we considered that about the roof…. But we will most likely get a drone in the future for videos so wanted the roof to match for some epic shots! Plus we had enough paint to cover it so was worth the extra bit of work in our opinion! It’s military vehicle paint!

    The paints you used are simply not durable enough for vehicle use. Within one or two years you will have issues.

    • @Rags2Pitches
      @Rags2Pitches  2 месяца назад

      Thanks for watching - it was military grade paint…. We will keep the channel updated 👍
