i used a 4" roller and a 1" brush

did you thin the paint and if so did you use rustoleum thinners or white spirit?

very nice colour what ral is it?

i thinned it with white spirit approx 50/50 ... i'll get the ral number off the tin when i get back up later today ( the joys of nightshift)

cheers going to pop in to the rustoleum place tomorrow and get some. Looks a proper job. White spirit will save me the £8 they want for their thinners too.

How easy are the seats to install at the front want to change my double and looking for options
Thanks Neil

i made up box section subframes to suit the seats then added mounting brackets to fit to the floor ..i also made up plates for the underside where the new bolts go through it also gives me more storage under the seats as they sit a lil bit higher than usual
