Painting the floor in your van.
« on: October 16, 2012, 08:29:26 pm »
To the people that have used Protecta-Kote to paint there van floors, how much paint would I need to do the floor in a Renault Traffic sized van also to include wheel arches.

Where's the cheapest place to buy?

Also do you have any tips so i don't cock it up to much :)

Peace

Answered my own question....

"A 4 litre tin of Protectakote will cover up to 6 square metres (60 square feet) with the recommended 2 coats."

But any tips would be appreciated

I used 4 litres, and painted the floor with three coats, and two coats to a quarter way up the sides.

Small tip is to use a brush, instead of a roller as this prevents clumping  ;D

clean where you want to paint, key the surface down, use masking tape, wear gloves and a long sleeve jumper dont get it on your skin,

do it on a dry day, leave it a few hours inbetween coats, your van will stink of paint for a week but its good stuff, take your time and dont rush it

shake the can for a while before you start to mix it all up too,
