haha just a spot of lacquer for the vent frames, im actually considering using epoxy rust paint for the van, i like the way it weathers... and the price! rims are cheviot turbo's, pretty common old things.. unlike the centrecaps which are a buga to find!

Hey erics8,
What kind of wheels are those on the van,
I like them but never got to find out the name.
Cheers


In Australia they are called Hurricanes and are still available for bedfords

Hey Eric that is an unusual colour. What's it called ?
Good job by the way.
Cheers

Cheers gordon, I'll probably give it a wetsand and a couple more coats yet, the primer that was on it was pretty thin and I figure the more paint the better on a bedford! The colour I mixed up in me backyard out of red, yellow and  black epoxy enamel, was a bit concerned id muck it up with brown being such a fickle colour but came out bloody nice I reckon, very 80s

Yea, I'm partial to the old school colours myself. Looks like its got a good shine on it too. Did you manage to get your back doors sorted ?
