95 AWD camper van

It's called Flat Khaki but it dried much more green than I expected. Josh shot most of it and then I came back and laid a matte coat on it. We were aiming for more tan than olive but it's growing on me. Thanks Zach, it's one of those projects where every small step helps it get a little better

Gutting it was probably a smart idea

Yeah it was pretty rough. Previous owner was a "free spirit" and lived it for a while. She's a nice girl that's getting her life on track and is about to be a momma. I send her regular updates on the progress.

Just black. Figured I'd go rino liner at some point but a semi gloss flat for now to see how we like it. Harder to come back from RINO liner. Now that it's on, Josh is pretty married to the look so we'll probably just stay with that. We chose to leave the front emblems on for texture. Removed all the others and skim filled most of the dings. There's still quite a bit of body work I want to do but it's good for now.

Next on the list is fab a new front bumper, new rear bumper, and a swing away tire carrier.

If I went bed liner, I'd probably sand most of the black off just to get a tougher self etching primer under it. I'm not super thrilled with the primer that's under the black now. It doesn't fail a tape test but it doesn't grab the way I'd like and rock chips are going to be a problem over time
