That's a wrap, and a paint job! - VB06

[@ladyessexlioness]

I really enjoy watching your videos I can only dream unfortunately of having any kind of van build or moter home but never wanted so much to have one in my life the freedom to be able to visit my children and grandchildren and having a place to stay at same time just up and go would be awesome but I can't help myself watching others building or living in there's as it brings me so much joy seeing how happy people can be I know crazy right but just imagining one day it be me helps keep it real watching others and I feel so happy and emotional when the builds are finished and all the hard work as finished so keep it up and well done can't wait to see the end result 🥰

[@bustersbashers2280]

WoW you have done a great job on the outside of the van, I love it. 👍👍👍👏👏 Thanks 👍👍🙏🏻🤗

Every cloud. Hey Mevi 😂😂

[@ianbasson8367]

Hi John. Vans looking good. I’m amazed at the many and varied skills you have.

[@ML-jr1yz]

Hi John, you look happier in this blog. Excellent.

[@TheAdenau]

The 5kw does fit under the driver seat, if mounted diagonally, which is perfect for the outlet avoiding my fridge which is behind the seat..👍 Keep up the good work and videos mate.☺️

[@jackmoore4609]

That certainly has made a big difference to the look of the van. Well done.

[@brianmcclure8012]

Super paintjob John!!

[@johnhaggerty4257]

a job well done John boy.

[@chaZa111]

While weathers bad get dazzler behind you with a brolly. Vans looking great 👍

[@stephenbergin9184]

Hi John the van is looking great well done . Can’t wait to see it finished. Steve b U.K. 👍

[@rickybrocklehurst67.9]

Van's looking great,looking forward to seeing what you do with the inside.

[@biddiemutter3481]

It looks super and so different. I think it is very smart.

[@vanscran1672]

You've done a great job so far old boy, you'll have to go down south for a bit, the forecast is quite good for a few days then later, the usual continuous rain. I've spent the last couple of days fitting a diesel heater to my van, just in time before winter.👍👍👍

[@patriciagorn6645]

What a lovely job perfection john

[@mandywaterton]

Cracking job there John. Nice new coat for your van. Well done. x

[@tonykirk1966]

Its coming along nicely John. You have many strings to your bow. Handy gadget John!

[@RetroBytesUK]

The outside of the van is looking great.

[@ari.voutilainen]

Wow, what a difference. The wrap and the black paint combined with the roof rack and the BadAssTyres(tm) create a cool overlander vibe. 👌

[@karlospappy8908]

Looking smart on the outside John. Cheers K.

[@stephenjamieson1003]

Looking good John 👍

[@roygardiner4002]

Good kit from Ryobi, I bought the set for my build, all work brilliantly.

[@buzz5085]

Hi John looks like new bud very nice 👍

[@nigelwarfield2346]

You could do with a big marquee to do your windows like that lad who got a portable paint booth sorry cannot remember his you tube as he always like that camo green and the indie project borrowed a barn if anyone got you could use it’s just a thought. Anyway your getting on superb with the van and you done a good job John and way keep safe and keep well 🙂

[@thompam57]

Hi John. Looks so nice, longer and lower. Well done. 🚐💨👍

[@JamesCre]

I tried made to order paint, hycote and halfords and halfords was the best colour match for me! This is on a 2018 Relay with the 249 colour code

[@Flossy_tops]

Nice job well done 👍

[@jamieb158]

Looking good John, the wrap really makes the side. 👍

[@geoffcampbell7846]

All looking good John. 👍 shame about the weather. You're going to need a bigger storage unit to keep those lovely tools safe when you get back on the road. 😄 Take care. 👋

[@mikebourke1185]

Well done John..and your old door looks good on the other Van.. Take care..not a minute gone outa next week yet..

[@MrMT1987]

The van is looking really well John 👍 really enjoying the build 🚐

[@rhadley958]

Starting to look good John !!!

[@lesbowen1]

Hi John. Vinyl wrap looks great. Speaking as someone who converted a van through the winter without the benefit of any indoor shelter I fully understand your frustration. Wait till it's freezing outside and your trying to get adhesives to work. Will you get your diesel heater up and running sooner rather than later. I didn't and spent a fortune running an electric fan heater (on an extension lead from the house) for many hours. Hope for your sake we have the warmest winter on record. Keep up the good work

[@deanwood2332]

wow its looking mighty fine John . top job

[@MickSnr]

Brilliant work young John, Vans coming along nicely mate. Well done sir 👍🏻

[@DA11NOON]

Hi John great vlog 👍 The van looks Epic so far John. Keep up the great work 👍 Be safe

[@tonymartin3000]

Great job John 😊

[@asaandthemarchharepart267]

Fabulous job on the van John. That rubber based paint looks awesome to use and looks cool. Great how you done the vinyl rap too. Giving me ideas. Fingers crossed you can find somewhere to work inside on the van. Take care bud

[@ninatheambulancecamper]

Doing a great job John, well done. I’ve had Nina for 11 years and still not gotten round to t cutting and polishing the outside 🙄 lol.

Hi John I have some spare well lit workshop space, your welcome to borrow now and again 👍🏻 I’m in Liversedge West Yorkshire 👍🏻

[@mickfortune3844]

Hi John not sure how to send telegram Kind Regards Mick

[@howardtennant5766]

Looking very cool

[@howardtennant5766]

Hi John I was asked to reply

[@plove523]

You would think in a place where rainy is the norm a good part of the year, they would have ‘rent a garage’ spaces where you could work on your vehicle in the dry short time. Like AirGarage or something. Nice looking van so far and lovely of Ryobi to send you some tools.

[@Angusdane1]

That's looking very tidy John. I do like the look of that rubber based paint. I thought it was raptor you were putting on at first. I cannot believe that electrical system you're putting in, it's mega bucks but looks the business! The toilet is looking like a good purchase as well, I had a good read up on them afterwards. I hope that the weather improves for you and you can make some headway with the project. All the best.

[@GadgetJohn]

I've just added the product links to the video description 👍🏻

[@zx10rmac84]

Looks class mate, ✌️🇬🇧

[@nickdrury4931]

Not looking to shabby there John!

[@terryhere3889]

Van looking cool John 👍

[@marksvanlife2963]

Build a temporary garage, cls timber frame, correx sheets for walls, HD tarp for roof. when your finished, Johnny can probably reuse the stuff around the site ???

[@LeisureBit]

Looks really good - great job 👍 David 👍

[@TOBY_AND_LUCYS_ADVENTURES]

[@garrymarsden1269]

Hi John, I have the same boxer van and just wondered what product you used to clean the plastic trims? An interesting van build, be interesting to see the finished campervan. A.T.B.

[@davidbennett5596]

van looking nice also john.could you tell me which heads up display is the best please for a fiat ducato please

[@SteveHainesCounsellor]

Looks Cool John 💯👍👌😊

[@stevebrown6665]

Love it! Great job. I went for a gray wrap on mine which I think looks better than black

[@trevorpat-lifeontherun]

Wow, that looks good.

[@worldawayfromwhitecroft3807]

Looks mint 👌

[@RhysOrwin]

I've got a 5KW diesel heater under my driver's seat (it is a swivel base so might make a difference)

[@GadgetJohn]

That makes a huge difference, your seat is higher than a standard seat.

[@maxv77]

If I had the space you have there for your van build. I would get a temporary scaffold car/van port made up to keep it dry

[@GadgetJohn]

Can't do that as it's not my land

[@wilko527]

Good job.

[@mychills123]

Hi John where would you recommend getting a new van key and fob thanks

[@AliWade1971]

Looking good. Shame about the weather. We have got room in our shed if you want to come to Pembrokeshire!

[@GadgetJohn]

Thanks for the offer, it’s a little too far to commute. 👍🏻

[@RollingwithTheRobsons]

What would be useful is how much you paid for van? We are looking if can sell caravan for a similar van but it’s harder to know on vans if getting a good deal or not.

[@Paulwest55]

Hi John, what is the black paint that you used on your van? Cheers 👍 it’s looking amazing

[@GadgetJohn]

I've just added the product links to the video description 👍🏻

[@jasonnicholls6896]

Hi John can u tell me how many cans do plastisol u used to do all the work on your van ? I need to do mine and need to know how many to order . Ta keep up the great work

[@gimme1smile]

Well done fella 👍

[@RoaminRob]

Would love to see all this close up 😂 been struggling with the weather for my build too 😭

[@GadgetJohn]

Loads of close up shots in this video.

[@RoaminRob]

@@GadgetJohn was more thinking in the flesh lol my eyes never see proper watching vids. I'm going to look into these though as I need to move onto the outside of my build in a month 👍 thanks John 👌

[@paulpowell1259]

Liam and Rick rock.

[@stevencoyne4971]

Nice one GJ vans looks good !👍👏👏👏👏

[@ian_morg]

Looking badass!! I think I have the same polisher too, a fab bit of kit 🤔🤔🤔 did I buy mine after seeing yours maybe? Hmmm How about setting up a makeshift awning rail or tarp from the roof so you can give yourself a place to work? Weather is shite, well, changeable in South Wales too 🌧️🌧️😢😢

[@kelsvlogs52]

Does anyone know what the black spray is on the bumper please?. I've looked on the drop down to see of its listed but can't see it thanks

[@GadgetJohn]

I've just added the product links to the video description 👍🏻

[@scotspie501douglas7]

great video can you send a link to your orbital sander looking for one

[@GadgetJohn]

Here’s the link to the DA polisher. amzn.to/3RJKoi8

[@markmim5676]

Looks great John as does the job on Mandy’s. Can I ask how many cans you needed to do yours and if you needed any primers please? Can’t see anything in Timelapse but just want to make sure before doing mine. Also how many coats did you do please. Assume if you do more than one then you are removing the tape after last coat whilst still wet so that it doesn’t peal off?

[@GadgetJohn]

I used 4 cans on Mandys and 5 cans on mine as it’s longer with more trim. I cleaned the van, dried it off, cleaned all the plastics with isopropanol and then masked off. I then gave a mist coat first and then 2 coats, on the final coat I made sure I sprayed on the masking tape line and then after 60 seconds removed the masking tape.

[@markmim5676]

@@GadgetJohn thanks very much for your response and advice John which is really helpful. Please keep doing your informative vlogs which are great for knowledge, ideas, inspiration and avoids having to try stuff from scratch. Van is looking great, look forward to seeing you get out on your adventures 👍

Hi how menny tins of paint would you think is good just to do the sides

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari Om Oh yes, that is the business... as for weather - could you hire one of those expandable market awnings to keep the wet off at least? Just a thought... YAM xx

[@peterfulton176]

Look good 👍

[@360audiovision6]

Hi John looking fab, Can I ask if you painted the plastics (Bumper and rear bumper) did you just paint them or did you prep them other than wiping clean , thnx in advance. Luke

[@GadgetJohn]

I cleaned the bumper & trim plastic and then wiped down with isopropyl before spraying.
