That is one good looking van. If I remember a previous thread, wasn't this hand painted with the old combi colour ?

How much paint did you use and did you thin it down ?
It looks a really good finish.

1/4 ltr thinners to 1.5ltrs of paint. But wish I had thinned it a bit more and given two coats.

Damm you stone chips (only a couple though!! lol)
