Off to paint

Got the body work done.
The small warp I put in the panel.  Couple dings that needed taking care of and the flue vent that was welded up.

The rear quarter needed some light body filling.  These are large flat panels that will show every single flaw.  Its a good thing that it is a light color, that will help.  But a good solid blocking will be necessary for a quality paint finish.













Coated with Metalok to bind up the bodywork.  Next will be a coat of the gray high build primer that can be blocked out nicely.

Multiple pictures of blocking out a van are not very blog worthy.

So after blocking out the panels I had prepared, I coated it again with the high build primer for the delivery to the shop where it will be painted.

In the booth we did the final seam sealing and taped up the body exposing the jambs for paint as well.  We needed a solid base, one that could withstand a beating from multiple kids and many trips.

Next stop - painted and pretty.
