Its clear you care about your customers and our vans. Thank you for taking the time to put together these videos for our benefit. Nicely done... this is on my to-do list now for sure!
John that looks awesome. It’s amazing how much that upgraded the look. You probably saw the owners previous attempt at painting and thought this guy needs help. Thanks again…………
Cool!! But for the first row of tape use the green Frog tape. The blue tape is great for latex but the solvents from rattle cans can soften the glue behind the tape and make a mess peeling off. I'm a cabinet maker and my finisher only uses the green frog tape for the first row around the piece you're taping off .
It just looks so much better. As far as road noise not at all. That would be a tire change for me. I switched from a All-Terrain tire to a Highway Terrain Tire. These Vans have a lot of road noise
Thanks so much for posting, I thought my only option was to rip out interior and replace. This is so much simpler. Can this same thing be done to the factory wheel rims? You have a video tutorial for that?
Wheels would not be worth it. By the time you take them off, dismount the tires etc you could get a new wheel. If you really like the factory wheels you would have to have them powder coated
Great video! I'm eager to start my sprinter conversion this summer and plan to install several Owal Van products, especially the monster box and Pismo bumper. Quick question: My sprinter has an OEM electric step with yellow rubber rims. Any tips on painting them? Thanks!
Hi, Nice video, thanks Is there an alternative product for the "Rust Oleum rust reformer" that I can buy and deleviry in EU ? What is the name of this kind of product ? Any "rust reformer" gonna do the same jobs? Thanks
I wish I could offer some more advise but I am not sure what products are available outside of the US. Any spray paint that is intended for metal (has self etching etc) would be best.
If you cannot find it then I would do a metal etch primer and a matte black paint over the top. Here is the link to the US Amazon listing: www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-215215-2PK-Stops-Reformer-Spray/dp/B082QNSC2T/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=rustoleum+rust+reformer&qid=1706729762&sr=8-12

Just did mine today. Looks grand. Thanks for the heads up on the Rustoleum Rust Reformer.

Totally going to do that to my van

Thanks for the tip!
Oh dang. Now I’m going to have to do this. Thanks John!
Waiting on someone to do this rail right before blacked out my rail.Grreat job.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Another great tip! Did mine last month- btw that little black plastic cap at the rear pops right out, makes for easier masking.
I was just looking at getting mine powder coated hahaha cheers for the tips
Lol. Me too! SKIP!!
Super Cool! THAT’S the look!! (added now to the [long] list!)
Looks great. Hit those back wheel wells with some black undercoating also
Yes! I have to do that to every van 😂
Does undercoating help with road noise?
It just looks so much better. As far as road noise not at all. That would be a tire change for me. I switched from a All-Terrain tire to a Highway Terrain Tire. These Vans have a lot of road noise
Awesome idea. Thanks for sharing.
Great video as always, supposed to snow here tomorrow in East Tennessee, might do this to my Revel in my warehouse.
Top Job.
100 % better

@@owloffroad that makes a lot of sense, thanks so much for quick reply
Man that was like watching paint dry
What grit sandpaper?

Not sure you're able to paint the rubber
Rust Reformer comes in a regular and automotive version. Would the automotive one be even better for this application?
Not sure, but I will look it up
Hi,
Nice video, thanks
Is there an alternative product for the "Rust Oleum rust reformer" that I can buy and deleviry in EU ?
What is the name of this kind of product ? Any "rust reformer" gonna do the same jobs?
Thanks
I wish I could offer some more advise but I am not sure what products are available outside of the US. Any spray paint that is intended for metal (has self etching etc) would be best.
Do you paint over it with another paint? Or just use Rust Reformer?
Just the Rustoleum
Hey John. Have you ever done truck bed liner to a hood or lower plastics? If so, what product should I use? Thanks!
Use an adhesion promoter on any plastic and a rough up any paint then use raptor liner or similar. We have some videos on this
@@owloffroad solid. I’ll check them out
Great video thanks! I can't find the right version of the rust oleum you used. Which type is it? (buying in The Netherlands)
Rustoleum Rust Reformer
@@owloffroad do you happen to have a link to that product? not sure if its available in NL
If you cannot find it then I would do a metal etch primer and a matte black paint over the top. Here is the link to the US Amazon listing: www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-215215-2PK-Stops-Reformer-Spray/dp/B082QNSC2T/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=rustoleum+rust+reformer&qid=1706729762&sr=8-12
Looks sharp. How well will it hold up to the roller on the door?
Holds up well. We have done it on a few vans and it lasted
something is up with your mic
It’s grinding in the background. Lowered it as much as we could but the shop is loud
my left ear, feels left out @@owloffroad
