Doesnt it give you a coverage per litre Dave ?

[jaykie]

it comes in 1 liter and 4 liter tubs, id say purchase the 4 liter as this is what i used on my trafic which i no is bigger but you can never put too much down, dont think 1 liter will be enough.

4l tin, no thinners, make sure you wear gloves, sand down floor to give a key.

This stuff gets you as high as a kite, so either keep windows and doors open or get a headache.
when finished leave all windows doors open to let smell out lasts about a week.

Did I mention make sure you wear glove.
Mask up wear you want to paint to, use brush first to go round then bin it, if you get a kit rollors etc I found it far quicker to dip the whole roller in the tin nice thick coat used about half tin first coat waited a couple of hours and did another, saved about 3 inches in tin which went hard.

That was in a swb relay

[jaykie]

Cant agree more with windowwashers, when i did mine i was as high as a kite after the 1st coat, leave for 24 hours then do 2nd coat, leave 72 hours before you put anything in back as to make sure is dry , you could even do a 3rd coat as you have smaller van, and also as windowashers said deffinatly wear gloves as i got it in certain places on skin and it took days to come off, and use marskin tape.

[NWH]

i can see theres ply on the floor nwh what i meant was did the ply get removed for the van floor to be painted or did he just do the ply .

[jaykie]

I painted over the ply,I filled in all the gaps with sealent and made sure there where no gaps where the ply met, i also took the plastic bit that covers the step and painted under it,

No worrys any time, Just make sure you cover it as you dont want to put system in only to realise you could of done with another coat or 2

I gave mine a coat about a year ago and bits have rubbed off do you reckon it will be ok to give it another one over the top now or should i get it off and start again?

[steven ainger]

i think it says on the tin, that if the paint is dry you have to give it a rub over with some sand paper to give it a key.
so it should be fine.
ive just got another van, and ive put a couple of coats of protectacote on, but ive brought some rubber door matts, the ones with holes in, and cable tied them together to make a protective floor for the van so the paint doesnt get bashed about and chip.

[david wood]

ive just painted my expert with over 2 coats and still have half the tin left 4ltr tin was a waist

[markybop]

Would a tin of HAMMERITE not be just as good guys??

[TVCS]

I used 2 lts on a pug expert.  and it gave 2 good coats. 
Just done me transporter and it took 3 lts for 2 good coats.
