I finally got the courage up to do some rust clean up work on my van. I'm lucky it was just paint bubbles / surface rust, no major work had to be done. I was able to grind it all down, prime it and rhino line it. Thanks to Ruby and straker101 I got the courage to do it. His van looked great so I went for it!
It was time consuming but pretty easy. Hardest part was the tape line - talk about anxiety! I really didn't want to screw that up...
I plastidipped the chrome in the grill while I was at it. Next up is the wheels. Still chasing a vibration so don't want to bother with painting them until that is sorted out and I know they are balanced for a good long time.
Next up is some inner body cavity wax in the rockers and doors. Then a bit more undercoat on the underbody.
Before I put all the door panels on I'm adding a few tiles of sound deadener and some thinsulate from Hein. Hoping it is a bit quieter and less cheap sounding when I slam the doors!
