Thanks for sharing your work!
I just saw this and I just love it, nice job !!
i didn’t know how to change the carpet in my van, but after watching this video i realized i wasn’t gonna learn much. As soon as you did the 360 shot at the end every bit of knowledge i ever needed magically got sucked into my mind. thank you van man
I think ill be doing the same on my work van bro. Great idea
I think it looks good and you did a nice job.
Thank you!
NICE NOW IMA GO DO MINE HAAHAHAHAH BRB
Dude.. WAW. Good job. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Hi just come accross this video and loved it. It's really theraputic watching Thank you Andy
So after the years how’s it holding up? I’m thinking of painting my car with garage floor paint
I sold it last summer. I did need to keep it waxed or the oil paint would get chalky after some time.
Better yet, roll on Totalboat Wet Edge paint, thinned 10 to 1...pictures of my van are on Amazon reviews for this paint...did it in seafoam and white.
5 parts paint, 2 parts penetrol, 1/2 part hardener...paint will come out smooth and glossy!
Why using penetrol and hardener
@@G_STYLINTractor paint is slow to dry
Hey sir. What kind of carpet u used ? Can you send me a link ? Great Job.
man. i think it looks great! good job. doing my ol dodge 1500 this weekend. thanks
Thank you! Let me know how it goes with your project.
Did you use reducer mixed in when you painted I at first didn't use the reducer enough but now am using more but painted my truck recently with a lvlp spray gun but it still didn't come out as good as I wanted but painted my old truck last year and didn't come as good either. I tried using reusable aerosol spray paint cans and didn't work for me either. I wanna use another reusable aerosol spray paint can again I saw the Sure Shot but I don't know if it will work better though than the other reusable spray paint cans used though.
thinner in the paint ina botttle with paint thinner.you won't get roller marks
Love your comments in the end man, epic!
Outstanding!
Needs another coat!
It may not be perfect but its a hell of a lot better than it was before.
Great how to video, except you have no instructions on how to....
Unbolt and remove seats. Remove trim holding the carpet down. Remove carpet. Repeat in reverse to install carpet.
How many square feet did you buy?
It's not rusty that's what matters. You could always apply another color and use a very fine buffing or sanding medium to smooth it out
Hi everyone, I sold the Astro to a young couple in July. It's crazy to think about how much work I put into it. I didn't document most of it, especially the mechanical things I did. I put 40,000 miles on that van. I went to McCall Idaho for the summer of 2018 to work at Shore Lodge, back home, to Tucson for the winter and lots of places in between. The Astro never let me down and was a cozy place to live. The next dream is to own a extremly efficient self sustaining home.
👍 goodjob🤘🇬🇧
One day 😪😭
Now days nobody needs a fancy and expensive paintjob thanks for the idea now I'm going to paint my cargo trailer was gonna take it to a shop not no more
Wow, very nicely done. Really office carpet?
👍👍
U did an excellent job on that
Looks better without it anyway
U need some chevy rally wheels painted black that would look dam good
That carpet looks way good bro
Grange for red grange the grey ghost
How many layers of paint did you apply?
3
I think ya got a stocker budd...how about van halen or like the dictator "Castro"
A stocker?
@@Mrtimekilla Yea the same lady replied like 5 times it was a joke man.....
I wonder if you done rolling and tipping how it would look.
And it will keep looking better with age.
It’s always better to put in a new carpet.
You did great my man.
You son of a gun! That Portlandia reference got me. :)
Can u do mine🍴 for me I'll give some cash don't wanna pay the White man dollars
It really on took 2quarts paint for it? Should i thin it with paint thinner? I want that same color on my 97 astro. I m going to either call it the gun boat or battle ship, go for that theme with numbers and all
I didn't thin mine. Also It took more paint because I had to go back and fix mistakes.
Buff with G3 and G10 polish with an electrical buffing machine it will look great trust me 👍
Hello all, I recently repainted the van. I mixed the grey I had left with a little white and then took it down to the hardware store where they added a bit of blue dye for me. It came out nicer than the first try. The trick is to do it in a cool shaded area. This will give you more time to smooth out the lines the roller makes before it starts to dry.
How did you cut in around the door handles?
I taped them off
@@Mrtimekilla But how did you get the paint down into the area around the handles. Thanks for your reply!
Did you wetsand it at the end?
No, It was a textured finish from the foam roller and it comes out glossy.
This is called a smart paint job. Perfection is not needed. Good work.
Thank you
Totally agree
Thanks for sharing, just what I needed - our old campervan will get the same treatment
Awesome how much gallon did it take for doing 3 coats on your van? I have the same van and wanna do the same as you ;)
It takes about two quarts. You can get them here: www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-207000-Topside-Semi-Gloss-1-Quart/dp/B000BZX092/ref=asc_df_B000BZX092/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=193168541182&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3076818336510519735&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9051703&hvtargid=pla-316279258515&psc=1 I should have gone with the green.
One more thing: Paint it in the shade around 60 degrees, the paint will dry slower and be smoother. I made the mistake of doing it in the sun and it dried too fast leaving more of a texture.
Awesome thanks am gonna go with "sand" color ;)
Better tzan before
