If you prepare the back of the van properly you can do a good job with Protektacote,I did my van over a weekend with 2 coats 🧥 👌.
The prep takes no time at all just lightly sandpaper hoover it over then alcohol wipe and it’s ready.

Did you use a primer or just whack it straight on?

The first 2 vans I had I did with black Protecktakote and it was brilliant. I recommended it often.

The last van I did was 4 years ago in grey Protektakote  and I'm afraid I wouldn't recommend it now.  To me, it seems that they have changed the formula. Maybe black is still better, I don't know. But the grey hasn't lasted at all.

I used the red it’s not as good as speed liner but it’s decent if you need to you can top it up if it wears in places,you have to be careful who applies the speed liner also some people apply it better than others trust me,I had it done years ago and the over spray almost covered the windscreen because they didn’t mask 😷 it up properly.

I had a quote for line x about £650 i think and mines wuite a big van

Dindt bother though going to spray it in Raptor Liner in the summer. ive sprayed a whole car in the stuff before and its quite impressive.

Protektokote is eh ok for a while but it will always come off you want a 2k product really.
