poll has ended with a victory for frozen white :D

personally if it was mine i would have done it a different colour but i think white was the best choice for this as it has a very wide appeal and always looks good 8)

i'll sort out getting enough paint for the full van but if anyone has any paint to bring along to the build we might if time allows be able to put a stripe or 2-tone it :D but i'll leave that up to the painters :D

Does anyone have access to or work for a company that can supply us with Frozen White paint for the Makeover Project.It does seem a shame to spend on paint when we might get it donated or at least at a good trade price.Perhaps Luke or soomeone might tell us the quantities of what we need.Primer,base,top,lacquer etc and even Wet and dry and panel wipe.

Black is probably the worst colour for showing imperfections in the panel work :(
