Anybody used this stuff?Is it any good better than paying £500 for the professionals to do?

Steve, surely there are other options. Rubber paint (sports gym stuff) would do as good a job would'nt it?

Pun intended but it looks a bit minty :o only thing it won't do is protect against internal dints when the turbo drier goes flying in the van when you take a corner at 50mph although it does look neat, I think Dave liohona had a kitted out van which looked very nice he did post a picture of it a few months ago.

Its good gear for protecting against water leakage and seam seepage and its grippy under foot, make sure the van floors clean and keyed up properly before application.
I did a mates Transit that he used to use for valeting and it was an easy enough job after keying the floor up I wiped it down with some panel wipe and just rollered it on (use a small brush into the corners).
I gave that 2 coats (but if I had been paying it would only have got one) finishing it about 2 inches up the sides of the van so water couldnt get down into the seams between the floor and sill.
Its pretty potent smelling stuff so a respirator is the best way to go and leave the doors open for ventilation.
I put on the first coat late in the afternoon then left it overnight with a small electric heater going in the workshop then left outside all the next day and repeated the next evening, it stank a bit for a couple of days but it lasts well and still looked good the last time I saw it a few months ago.
