$118 VW Vanagon Painting AFFORDABLE Practical Results! Old Made New Again

In this video I take you through the process of painting my 1980 Vanagon Westfalia with Rustoleum paint! This is not necessarily the best way to paint a car but it's what fit my budget at the time and allowed me to protect this classic camper from the elements and ready to go on adventures for years to come!

I love your approach: make it happen and don't let perfection become the enemy of progress!

Молодец мужик! Без лишней суеты и задротства, освежил бусика... Респект и уважение!

[@timothyb8281]

That front grill is awesome. Glad you kept it.

[@Germknoedel]

Wow, turned out really great for a budget paintjob! Also I think its nice, that you didnt try to make it look brand new and didnt fill all the dents with body filler. An old car with some patina is way cooler than a brand new looking one in my opinion!

[@MarathonGsar]

Tell you what. For the time and money, that's pretty decent. Nicely done.

[@Kbrusky15]

going the extra steps to fix the rust holes around the windows will go a long way! You're headed in the right direction. :)

You Can Do It! Nooice! 😎 STOC

[@EndlessShots]

Well done, it seems you can actually get away with a roller :)

[@neilkennykenny4113]

The finished job isn't terrible and as you say it's just a stop gap treatment, for $120 was well worth doing.

[@graemefowles6619]

This looks like a great job. Can I ask what materials and mix did you use? Did you thin the paint etc?

[@kyg626]

Yes I thinned with mineral spirits. About 3:1 to 4:1 paint:thinner. I mostly did it by eye and consistency.

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Nice job mate. You just tripped the bus value. So you rolled it on correct?

[@kyg626]

Yes I did

[@sabodmize9151]

I think it looks good for the money spent maybe try to find a cleaner for the white part on top

[@brianrussell1565]

That roll on painting.?

[@kyg626]

Yes
