A close inspection of the inside of the roof revealed lots of rust spots. They where probably caused by condensation. 1.jpg (21977 bytes)
As the van body was on its side I was able to work on it easily. 2.jpg (29344 bytes)
I bought a second-hand compressor. 13.7CFM with 50 litre tank. 3.jpg (32304 bytes)
I bought a HVLP spray gun from Machine Mart.

"The AP14GF utilises the latest concept of high volume, low pressure air ensuring maximum paint usage with minimum overspray."

Whilst I was at it, I sprayed the area under the dash-board which would also be difficult to spray with the van the right-way-up. 4.jpg (26052 bytes)
I was quite pleased with my first attempt. I used a cellulose primer/filler and a cellulose top coat. 5.jpg (21970 bytes)
