Nice to see your updates Damien. Progress is always good to see and another step closer.

Thanks Innuendo. Yep this thing is finally coming together and the excitement is building now. The painter was back today and there was plenty of sanding and guide coat used. He needs to do one more sanding session and then its colour day.

So i guess quite a few members on here have been through the paint stage on their projects and could comment on the excitement, but for me...today was the first time. This van has been in various stages of grey primer for nearly 12 years now, and seeing body colour on it for the first time kind of blew my mind. I keep looking at it and thinking it can't be my van...my van is grey...
Anyway to cover off this update, the painter man was back yesterday and today, with the intent to get green on the firewall...and he definitely delivered. Tonight the van has five coats of DNA Tropical Green on it and two coats of clear. I'm very happy with this and looking forward to the next steps...but for now a few bourbons are in order...a pic of course...

Very nice Damo, reminds me a lot of a show van form back in the day named "Satisfaction" owned by a mate Graeme. The green has a real punch. Although being a green van owner I know it's not a super popular colour.
She's going to look hot once done. Enjoy it mate.
