Impressive recovery!

[JWA]

I'm hoping you're ahead of me here but before re-installing any interior from the B Pillars forward run a water hose down the roof and windshield checking for leaks. Far easier to test and adjust/repair at this point.

Looking good so far Dude!

Wow! And I thought I had a challenge with my tree limb repair. This is off the chain.

Yeah did that when I power washed it after prepping for liner… found 2 spots and fixed them the next day. The entire rubber trim has another layer of OSI caulking like Sickaflex under it to add a double layer! It rained today and no leaks!

BUSY day!!

2 gallons of blue metallic raptor liner and it looks pretty good for a driveway paint job!

Prep took about three hours if I scuffed the whole thing with a nylon abrasive brush wheel. Then I power wash the whole van and then the next morning we wiped everything down with big bath towels, soaked in acetone.

I’ve always wanted to play with leaving a sticker underneath raptor liner and see if it would create an embossing effect……And it kind of does we’ll see how long it lasts.

If I was gonna do the whole van, I probably would’ve bought 3 gallons to have some extra but 2 gallons was enough to shoot the entire lower body from rocker panel shoe roof gutter and then I actually did the same thing I did in 2017 with the roof it is Rust oleum white tractor enamel that I rolled on with a Household paint roller and then touchup stuff with the matching spray tan color
