HZ Van Persian Sand MKII

[hainzy]

Yea the motor is away being rebuilt, including NOS cam, the tank and lines will be next. The underside of the van will be painted then put on the chassis. I will then do the interior and door frames etc and put together then spray as it was done in the factory in one go. Trying to get it done for June and beach fest but we will see.

Can tell youre in QLD!

No one in Victoria would dare say 'June' and 'Beach fest' in the same sentence...

they did I was just going to do it the same , all at once. the easy way is put it on the chassis and roll it to the painters.
And yes only in QLD do you think of the beach in June.

I thought they painted the bodies at separate facility or was that only at some plants?

They all did it differently. This thread has a lot of info.

Hey mate can I ask what paint you used on the chassis? Cheers

I used gmh black acrylic, as close to the original as you can get these days. As you my have seen the chassis were done in what was called slush black. Basically all the left over paint so on one day it may be a bit green on another more red. Just depended on what colour they were spraying.

Not sure the chassis was slush black. Engine bays etc were. I though chassis was GMH chassis black. Slush black was gloss.
