The Complete Painting of an Expedition Camper: the how, what and why

I paint the entirety of my DIY expedition truck and composite camper with a bed liner paint Raptor Liner/TCP Global Custom Coat in six colors, and explain why I painted instead of a wrap, and provide tips and share the experience of masking, prepping, painting by spray gun, roller and brush.
This is the third video of this sub-series of painting the cab and camper and this is video #104 of my DIY Expedition Camper video build series. You can see all on this KZbin channel or vantripping.com First video of this paint series is: • DIY Expedition Camper ...

I've got these same products on my shelf for my truck - but I am SO far behind schedule. I'm going with a variety of sand/brown colors. thanks for this video!

[@vantripping]

You’re welcome. I hope you’re able to get it painted soon. It really changes the look, but I too am way behind schedule. Just keep plugging along and it will get closer to finished.

Very nice. I’ve been watching you build this since day one. It’s a beautiful rig. I had ambitions to build one myself but you taught me an important lesson: I am too poor to build something like this. So instead I live vicariously through you and sleep in a tent. Now go enjoy it!

[@vantripping]

Thanks for watching and following. This is a big project and even a little big for my time and budget, but getting close to having it ready to roll and camp out of.

When are you planning the first big shake down trip in your expedition truck? Where?

[@vantripping]

Great question! Hopefully in about 3 months, and likely some local backcountry trails, Death Valley backcountry or Baja.

I won't have the time to watch the full episode until the weekend but I wanted to say thank you in advance! You provide great resources and experiences here on this channel. I have not started my own build jet, but this summer I got my driving license for vehicles above 7000 lbs and started to look at trucks last week. Keep up the good work!

Thank you much for your comment. Wishing you luck on your build, just keep plugging away at it and you will make progress.
