Fibre glassing or painting floor?
« on: May 11, 2017, 08:21:27 am »
Going to get rid of my floor ply and should I paint the floor before deciding on fibre glassing?   

On another note, want to get van fitted out- more anchor points and a tank with autostop and RO fitted system.  Any suggestions on who to get to fit these?

If there's any bare metal showing then it would be a good idea to paint over it to stop rust, don't waste your time and money on
fibreglass as there's no need.

Do you think just rip out floor ply and paint anyway, then worry about the fibre glassing later?   Where you buy that paint?

I have never seen the point of doing any of it  ???
If the system is put together as it should be , then why make the van heavier than it needs to be .
But then i am a stickler for leaks and mess , all i ever use is plastic load liners .

Is it easy to take out when you want to sell the van or remove it?

If you are asking me that question then yes load liners are not fitted as such , they just sit on the floor so can be taken out at any time , they are vehicle specific , they may not even do one for your van .
Mine is actually from a Mazda estate car and it fits bang on between my inner arches of the Fiat fiorino , and the best bit was i found it propped against a wheelie bin , one mans rubbish is another mans treasure  ;D ;D

The fibreglass is pretty much going to be there for good once cured off .

This is the load liner , it takes about 15 minutes to strip the van bare if i need to .
