Hi Daisy
Which did you find was easier or better: roller or brush?
I decided to use brush when painting my van because previous experience using a roller to decorate in the house ended up with more paint on me than the walls!
Are you going to use roller and brush coach paint for the final finish?
Sorry won’t see you at Guildtown this year but maybe the ‘vanette’ will be ready next year?
Cheers

That small roller that Daisy is using is good. If you got too much paint on yourself Howard, then you maybe need to slow down. I have only once had a problem with a roller like this and it was caused by the very cold weather. The roller creates a lot of tiny bubbles that disappear in moments, except in v cold weather they didn't disappear.

Looking good, keep up the good work and the enthusiasm.
Given the styling and the builder, I have a feeling it will go like a vanshee...
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!

I do rather like the design of this. It is unusual, yet looks period.
I was just wondering whether you are building it on a chassis that needs registering or on one with a V5. I would be interested in hearing how you get on with the process. My Ruby body is shot and I am still deliberating over what to do about a replacement shell and the logbook.

The look on her face says it all. Very well done Daisy. Like her Mother and her sisters, she's pretty good at the music as well. What a talented family.
