ive just done mine it cost £53.95 + £7.50 post & package from a boat chandlers the number is 01353663095 he sent it the next day by courier,

i was told that i need a polyurethene roller, cud i find 1 cud i not after 6 days searching phoning etc

so i just painted it on 2 coats 1 at 7pm  then 1 at 6.30am the next morning,

its a transit swb had a sml amount left from 4 ltrs.

it still stinks now 1 week later,

floor was rubbed down with med grit sandpaper

then wiped clean with water then left to dry

dnt use white spirit to prep the area it reacts with the paint then stops it curing,

just buy cheap brushes then throw each 1 away after each coat its cheaper than buying the thinners,

dnt use a standard roller sleeve becouse the glue that holds the sleeve on will react with the protectacote so i was told by the fella that sold me it

A quick thought to M.B.S i had two combos and i protectacoated both of them due to fact that their is a step down into the cab from the back of the van you must make sure you seal all the edges all the way around the back of the van and across the bulkhead needs extra attention if you dont then water will flood into the front of the cab belive me it is worth spening time sealing it all up properly.
