that's a pretty damn cheap quote...

I gave up on thinking about a respray due to the cost. I'm already spending more than I can afford doing up the van... I want to get rid of the lovely chevrons I have on mine, as well as the marks left by the graphics. I decided to do a cheap "50 dollar job" with a couple of tins of Rustoleum... I've used it to do the interior and the roof that I sanded down and it seems pretty decent.

not looking forward to the main body though... think it's gonna be a long job and an arse to get it looking good.

I initially wanted to paint it black, maybe with some colour in there too somewhere... but after reading stuff I'm debating black being a good or bad idea...
