Painting a CAMPERVAN on the CHEAP with a ROLLER! - DIY Budget Campervan Conversion

In this video we're finally painting our campervan Helsing with Rustoleum CombiColor using a roller.
Below are the product links* if you're interested in checking out more closely what we've opted to use in this part of our build.

We knew when we bought the van that what with the state of the paintjob we would be painting it on the cheap with a roller.
Flakey paint? Dents? Rust? No problem!
With the terrible old paint job peeling away and having had numerous bodge paint touch ups in it's previous life it was time we went about putting things right. It was an old cheap van and we didn't want to spend money getting it professionally re-sprayed so what was the alternative?
PAINT IT WITH A ROLLER USING CHEAP PAINT OF COURSE!!!
So WHO are WE? We’re Scarlett, Craig and Merlin and along with Helsing, form the PILGRIM PODS!
If you enjoy this video why not check out some of our other content? Delve even deeper into our channel; we thought we’d create a series of vlogs chronicling the conversion of our old panel van HELSING (did you see what we did there?) into a weekend warrioring campervan for ADVENTURING and EXPLORING in the UK.
Each vlog will cover a stage or smaller element of our campervan build, showing our ideas put into action and highlighting our SUCCESSES and FAILURES along the way. With no previous experience this may make for an interesting journey! Our plan is to convert a cheap van on a small budget without cutting corners and at the end, have a campervan to be proud of. We’re hoping you’d like to join us for this journey and that you find our uploads ENTERTAINING and even, INFORMATIVE!
So, in this vlog we're painting our campervan on the cheap using a roller and Rustoleum CombiColor gloss paint. With no previous experience and only some limited knowledge gleaned from the internet were we making a huge mistake?

What a transformation! Well worth the effort. Boiled linseed oil works really well on the exterior plastic and brings them up like new and it’s cheap and lasts ages.

[@PilgrimPods]

Cheers! 👍😊 We thought about going that route but on this particular aged van the bumpers and trim are grey; I think they were changed to black 2014 onwards. The grey looks a bit wishy washy against the colour so were thinking of painting them black. 🤔🙂

[@yeah_right_ok_no1190]

Pilgrim Pods mine are grey too on my 57 plate, trust me, the linseed oil transforms them, makes them look brand new.

[@PilgrimPods]

@@yeah_right_ok_no1190 you're twisting our arms here. A few folk have said the grey looks good against the new paint.

@@PilgrimPods no mate get a bottle of cherry blossom black shoe polish tip it in a tub and use a paint brush to paint the trim.Do 2 or 3 coats .it goes black.and stays black.Trust me I've done mine

I've just finished doing my fiat ducato using many of your tips and techniques, it's come out amazingly. I used the same paint, rollers and even foam brushes. So thank you 👍

[@arbralouve]

[@JoelSpuds]

That came out WAY better than I expected - nice work! Feeling slightly more confident about doing the same to my T5...

[@chrishicks7904]

Same and same! Hope it goes/ went well

[@whatyeonaboot]

Great video. I've got 2 Luton vans for work. 10 plate and 13. Once a year I sand the sils, arches, and paint the doors, wings and bonnet with a gloss roller. Always use metal white gloss sieved and 10% white spirits. Gets a slight orange peel effect but looks great and is a more solid finish then expensive spray. Key is not to use too much paint on the roller and don't apply too much pressure to stop lines appearing

[@MikeBurns-bi5xj]

Very good presentation and paint job

I can't take much of the credit though as all I've done is taken the information I've researched, applied it to painting my own van, recorded the process and just offered up a few tips I've personally found along the way. We're just glad folk are finding it useful. I've had a nose at your own channel and it looks really interesting. I certainly need to start taking better care of myself as since I've turned 40 it seems all of a sudden I've started discovering aches and pains! 😆 I'll definitely take a closer look at some of your videos.

Hi there! This video really motivated me to go paint my van too, I was just curious for the condition of the paint 2 years later, can you do a follow up video on how the paint aged? Or do you have instagram where you can show me some pictures of decay? Thanks a bunch, have a great day :)

I was surprised too when I was doing my own research. Can't go wrong with this method on a tired looking older van though I have to say if ever there's a next time I'd like to have a go at using a cheap spray gun to see what results I can get.

[@marcinkochanowski2955]

@@PilgrimPods That would be my options next year, painting or spraying, unless I will get acceptable and stealthy colour which is unlikely

[@paddywack5966]

I am an avid vanlife follower soon to join the community. I am well impressed with what you have achieved using a roller, I never thought that was possible WOW the Van looks fab, well done, from Paddy here in Dublin.

[@PilgrimPods]

Thanks Paddy! We've been following folks journeys in their campervans across social media for years too. We've wanted a campervan for the last 13 years (T25 originally) and are finally at a place in our lives where we can start converting one. 😊 Best of luck in your own journey VERY soon! 😁🙌💙❤

[@johnmitchell8242]

I’ve just repainted my van and those prodec rollers are a gamechanger! One roller covered my whole van. I used gloss foam rollers last time and it was an unpleasant experience as they deteriorated leaving bits of foam on your paintwork and constantly changing them.

[@PilgrimPods]

Thanks, glad they helped. It's nice to know the video is helping folk and saving them a bit of money in the process! 🙂👍

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Wow! What a difference! Great choice of color on this van! The closeup shots helped a lot with gauging texture of the paint. I love the gloss. I was going to use a truck bedliner paint like Raptor or Durabak but this is a lot easier to roll on and work with. Apparently this is an Alkyd Polyurethane so more durable than oil enamel paint. I tried to find this in the US but only made in UK. Have contacted Rustoleum. You may want to paint the plastic bumpers with Durabak bedliner paint. For fine roller brushing, use a mohair brush. The version with low texture is lovely for a bumper. No gloss but a satin finish. Sticks well to all surfaces, and has more flexibility than UPOL Raptor liner made in UK. Monstaliner is also good. You will need a Xylene solvent and brush cleaner, not Mineral Spirits. There is a great video on KZbin on a Durabak paint job on an RV - yellow color - beautiful!

[@PilgrimPods]

Hey there and thanks for checking the video out. I'll make a mental note of your advice for the bumpers should I have to tackle any again in the future. All the best painting your own! 🙂👍

[@tine8849]

How good does that look! This is one job it doesn't look like I'll have to do anymore as the last few vans I've seen have surprisingly good bodywork, but given the result you've achieved I'm sorta tempted to do it anyway.

[@PilgrimPods]

It turned out all right in the end. 😊 Are you any closer to getting your hands on your own van yet then? 🤞 If you do decide a change of colour is in order providing the van has no issues with the current paintwork you shouldn't have any issues rollering it. You've seen how bad our paint and bodywork was and we still managed to get a decent finish. If we can, anyone can. Good luck in that search! 🙌

[@tine8849]

@@PilgrimPods Deposit placed so technically I've got a van but we'll see. I tried my best but I don't have your skill to sniff out a bargain so I'll be paying almost double what you have for something a bit older and knowing my luck in much worse condition. Anyway even if it's sound I can't really afford to do anything to it for a while. Timing belt and service is gonna cost me another £500 quid, then there's insurance and tax cause I don't have a driveway. I must be mad to do this.

[@murphmurph2124]

I will be doing this to my van, I will be using a paint by Sherwin Williams that is used for repainting propane tanks that stay outside they have 2 types and one is used if you have slot of rust, thanks for the tips, I will be using POR-15 to go over spots of rust believe me it works great the rust will not come back.

[@PilgrimPods]

I'll be sure to take a look at that paint and thanks for swinging by and checking the video out. Best of luck painting your own van! 🙂👍

[@mikemartin2957]

POR -15 paint is an excellent paint for smoothing over pitted & rough areas but a larger tin doesn't seem to store very well once opened ,I found it needs to be used the same day ,ideal to for sealing rusty petrol tanks on the inside as it's unaffected by petrol , even cellulose thinner can't remove it once dry.

[@followthefocusofficial]

Looks brilliant. So this doesn’t need lacquer and is uv resistant so won’t fade in the sun? How has it held up?

Well done mate - a damn good effort. And good on ya for taking the plunge and painting it yourself. Very brave! I'm, inspired. I'd like to see the finished result once you have done another few coats and lacquered it. Also - i'd be interested in the total cost? Cheers

[@PilgrimPods]

Thanks Andy! 😊 We couldn't justify the cost of a proper paint job on a tatty old £1500 van so had to explore alternatives. We'll get some more coats on once we've done the conversion and do a follow up once it's all polished up! 😃 Cost so far for rollers and paint is less than £50. I'll add some links to all materials in the description shortly. 👍

Can I ask about sanding please....we have our van in village car park, how much dust etc is there likely to be, dont want to cause issues for neighbours. Could cover neighbour car in dustsheet....how did you find it? Oh for a driveway!!

[@PilgrimPods]

Hey Damien, thanks for taking the time to check out our build series, we really appreciate it. 🙂 For the prep we did use an orbital sander for some of the larger sections and whilst that did create dust it wasn't of biblical proportions to worry about the neighbours cars etc. Sanding back between the coats created no dust in the air at all because we used wet and dry sandpaper that was obviously wet! 😆 A driveway makes life so much easier (says the person who can't get down the side of the van because his driveaway is too narrow). Best of luck to you both painting your own van! We'd love to see a before and after shot, if you're on Instagram give us a wave so we can follow along. 🍻
