[VAN RENOVATION EP3] - VW CALIFORNIA T4 - Painting inside and outside

[@jgfiseth3332]

Allways best to try to get a T4 Cali to shine and keep it in good order. Interior - would used foil, if it was mine. Well, mine 1992 $270 Cali, will keep the original blue (maybe put foil at it some day) Benga/Quick is shit, but hope you will enjoy it - that the most important!

We understand we have different opinions on this subject. We chose to customise it to be our full time home and we absolutely love it! And turns out we even raised the value in the process. Thanks for watching 😊

Hey Maria and Sondre, thanks a lot for your great videos :) We just bought our very first vw bus (freestyle 2003). We loved to see how you renovated your bus. We almost have the same furniture so it's very interesting for us. All our doors have this plastic zigzag pattern like you have on certain doors in the rear. Could I ask you what paint you used for these? Thanks a lot and we wish you a happy new year !!

Thank you! We’re so happy you liked it 🥰 And congratulations with your first Vw, it’s an amazing little home. We haven’t painted inside the doors but for plastic parts we used a spray bengalack paint. We will show all the details in an upcoming van tour video 😃🚌

Oh my god, I've gotten sick watching it! How can you paint the beautiful cupboards that are in such good condition? You have reduced the value of the VW California significantly. The color doesn't look good either. I'm really shocked and don't understand how you can do something so unwise.

Thank you so much for watching it anyways and giving us a comment! 🙏🏼 You are entitled to having your own opinion, it is just very different from ours. Wish you an amazing day! 🌞

Hello, I didn't mean that in a bad way, of course everyone has their own taste and that's a good thing. Here in Germany, the T4 vehicles are traded very highly, it is always best if the condition is original. I wish you always a safe trip and lots of fun with your T4.

No worries. Thanks a lot! 🙏🏼
