What did you paint the van with mate?

Thanks for the comments, the welder was up as much as we could get it before it started to blow holes in the body. I used external gloss for metal, not the best paint job but i use my transit for running around in and for work. I cant justify spending a huge amount on a spray job where it will get ruined.

That looks great mate how many coats are on there just woundered if you you had a rough idea what its cost to do this to the van? Im at the point where i need to do this to my 190. And i think i would be really helpful to see whats involved cost wise to tidy up your old van.
Great work mate

That was 2 coats, i gave the van a rub over with some 1500 and then used paint prep wipes and wiped the van over and then 2 coats with a roller, i used exterior gloss from B&Q for wood and metal. Went with green as its green on the log book.
