VW T4 Rust Repair & Bodywork Preparation - Camper Van Rust Removal Before Paint

In this video I carry out a rust repair on my VW T4 High Top. There is surface rust around the wheel arches, the sills, fuel cap and area's where the high top meets the bodywork and I want to remove the rust before painting the van. I remove rusty area's using a grinder with a flap disc which removes surface rust without cutting in and a dremel for the hard to reach area's. Once all the rust has been removed, I treat the area's with Hammerite Kurust rust treatment. Once treated, I prep the area's with primer ready for the roller paint to begin (which will be covered in another video).

Hi, great video , thank you.
Could I just ask what primer you use please?

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

Outing special, generic stuff really

[@EmilieHorswill]

I have a t4 that has some pretty bad rust spots around the windows and would be reluctant to use a grinder next to them, would you say it is always necessary to grind down to bare metal?

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

Grind it off or cut it out is the only way to stop rust

Looking Good - Should do the Wheels with Krust - looks amazingly good - did mine as a quick fix - still looks fine after 6 months with just the Krust :)

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

I've had a set of 18" wheels sat in my front room for the last 7 months waiting to go on, now the paint is almost done they can go on soon

[@tomohawk5567]

Great job mate, I'd rather do this than pay thousands f a spray job

[@TheCampervanBuilder]

Thanks, yeah it was fun to do and has saved a ton of cash, my first time attempting bodywork / painting but it has came out pretty good, I've just applied the last coat of paint today so just some flatting back and polishing to go, almost there now.....
