- I Roller Painted My Van For Under £150! | Van Life DIY
I finally painted Storky after all this time! And I managed to do it all for under £150! I'm really happy with the results and even the Great British weather was on our side...Sort of!
Here's a lost of all the things we used to make it happen:
Paint: Rust-oleum Combi Colour (RAL Graphite Grey 7024)
Rollers: Two Fussy Bloke Rollers
-Car Body Filler
-White spirit
-280-1200 Grit Sand Paper
We hope you enjoy the video! Let us know what you think in the comments!❤️

I definitely watched this video for painting tips. 🔥
liar!😂
Me too😊
Yep watched this video naked dont know why
She really has nice tips
@@nicktubara yes big tips
@1:56 An entire day "filling in any cracks". Sounds like you had a great time. 😀
I believe that you have used emulsion rollers, you need gloss foam rollers for combi colour. Nice job, but if you rub down and recoat using the correct roller it will give you a better finish. 😊
Surprisingly very good job!!!
Well, i took the plunge over the weekend, dull but dry.... got all the rust scabs sorted, fully coated the van with one good coat, woken this morning to full sun... thought brilliant, this will bake it on brilliantly over the day, by 4pm, full torrential rain, and you guessed it, marked all the new paint.. to say im somewhat deflated is an understatement. I just hope i get a few days to make it look better...😔
We did the same thing! First day it rained but it is quite easily covered up and you need to do a few layers so it sort of works! 😂 Good old British weather huh!
@@storkyadventures yeah, superb isn't it....🙄
What color is that? Is it just grey?
Must admit I didn’t expect the van to turn out as well as it did. Looks smart fair play 👌👍
A good practical limited time job, looks good for a roller job 👍
Dear Lana and Tomm,
Well done. Story looks so great and I see you had a lot of fun despite the work. Now nothing stands in the way of the next adventure. Thanks for the interesting video!
Kind wishes, Gerold
Thanks Gerold! 😊 It was a bit hit and miss to begin with but we are really happy with how she looks now! And now its time for her next adventure! xx
Fantastic job👍👍being a t4 lover this was very handy to know 👍🏴
I actually like the mat finish , looks cool now for a few individual touches to make it stand alone and proud 🤟🏽
What a transformation love it
I’m stunned … good job 🎉
looks amazing 👌👌
Wow what a transformation - the van looks great
Thanks so much! 😊
Done outdoors..no paint booth..no garage.. most of us will be doing exactly the same.. thanks for posting this 😊
The van looks champion, I roller painted the lower half of our van covering the shabby silver and I was well happy with the way it turned out after mths of thinking will i won't i but I wish I done it earlier coz it totally changed the look into the swampy look I wanted, well done you guys 🤙
Thanks! We were the same but glad we finally pulled the trigger!
It's looks groovy babyyy...
Whole new meaning to rock and roll.
Great tips before I paint my 09 sprinter. Great result and thanks for sharing guys
Good luck!
Wow you have the prettiest and best hair ever. I think you are onto a new business idea.
Roller painting people's cars.
Bravo !
I never even thought about painting a vehicle with a roller brush a brilliant Job shame it rained but at least you could go over it hopefully no rain and she looks amazing 👍
I use foam rollers for interior paint, so know they make a perfect job of surfaces. But I gotta say that it's never crossed my mind that you could the same to a vehicle! You've both made a great job of your van! I love it! I may start looking to buy a cheap van now you've opened my eyes to this! lol 👍
Nice tips 😊
I liked the 2 tone 😎
Great results for a budget repaint 👍🏻👍🏻, small storky sticker is all she needs now.
Totally agree! Got some decals on the way!
Want to do this on my old Volvo - van looks great to me :)
Well done, it looks great!
Thank you!
Great job and video Lana👍❤
Thank you 🤗
Did this for a living a while back , yes the key is the prep work but still looks good well done both 👍
Thanks!
Beautiful 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Wow! delicious looking shorts!
A lot longer on the prep would have given far better results in the end. I shot blasted the worst bits of mine to make sure all the rust was removed before priming and then filling. Sanding should always be done with a backing pad or block as bare fingers apply uneven pressure. I took my doors off and did the pillars at the same time as the body so there weren't any lines where the two bits met. I also changed my roller frequently, persisting with a cheap, worn out roller drops bits of fluff in the paint and gives the uneven finish you were getting.
When I had finished mine I took it to have some decals that matched the 1081boriginals applied and the bloke thought that it had been sprayed not rollered.
In your defence, you had a couple of days, I was retired and had all the time in the world to sand, fill,sand, fill, sand, sand and sand again and could also let it dry & harden properly between coats.
It looks amazing well done x
Thanks so much 😊
Lookin good!
Great job tempered on doing mine like that
good paint job
That looks great Lana I know exactly what you went through, I painted my boat using 2 greys with a boat you roller it on then lay it off with a brush, I tried starting early but by the time I dried it off the sun was already making the steel hot but I was happy with the finish so love your videos you seem very natural
😂 It is a bit of an effort isn't it! And thanks so much!
yes but the end result si so worth it @@storkyadventures just upladed my latest drone footage of a sunrise if you'ed care to look take care .
Awesome job for a first attempt.. Adding paint conditioner helps with flow and in hot conditions. Looking at painting my van in the spring when it's a bit cooler. 🤘🏼
Awesome
Van looks great all painted up, you made it look so easy to do! 😂 It's good you finally got around to doing it though as I know you've mentioned about wanting to a few times in your videos. Looking really good though like I say and looking forward to the next adventure in it now!
Thanks it was fairly easy but not something I'd do again in a hurry! 😂
Wow amazing finish great job
Thank you! 😊
I did this to my 1988 Ford Ranger 4x4 truck a few years ago. I read a story in Hot Rod magazine that said paint your car for under $100.00. The mixing ratio that they said to use was take the cap from the mineral spirits. Pour 4 cap full's into the paint pan. It should be about like semi melted ice cream. Then roll on the paint. For any paint job either this way or using a spray gun prep work is 99% of the job. The more time if you have some the better the job will turn out. And using Rustoleum you have to wait 24 hrs. between coats and sand between each one. Would I do it again.? I don't know for sure.
Hi lana, great job on the van ,not as easy as it looks,been there,done that, but prep and
Patients is what you need,but it looks 100% like a trusted vw camper van now
Thanks, she's not perfect but definitely better than before!
Storky looks great,you both did a great job,I'm very tempted to do mine,love the colour.
You can do it! But take your time and don't use the wrong masking tape like we did! 😂
Hey..new subscriber. Firstly, your hair is wicked! Secondly, Im about to paint my jumbo transit conversion. Been putting it off for months but you've given me a much needed kick up the arse!
Well done guys. 👏 T
The van looks good. Nice job
Great work, looks much better
I think so too!
Looks a really good colour and job
Thanks!
hi Lana, you really need to do a final coat of Clear, make it shine also a protection. Excellent content, well done both.
Thanks for the tip! Will do!
Use 2k clear coat if you can. It is a spray but it’s the best off the shelf clear you can buy without using a compressor
Storky looks absolutely brilliant well done you two 🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐🚐💯✌️🤟👍🙏
Thanks! 😊
Cool, Looks like VW Pure grey without the gloss finish.
Ooo I do like a good chassis 👌🏻
I loveed the VW BONNET best
Cool !
Heads up! Top job guys, any T4 saved is a big big win for me
Thanks! 😊
Nice job both of you 🙂
Thanks! 😄
Absolutely stunning ! The van as well.
By the end of the video I was taking with
An accent like yours lol
😂 Thank you!
It’s battleship grey, looks cool
Nice work looks cool 😎
Thank you!
Good video!
Thanks!
Van looks ace! Thinking of doing that on Betty as a spray job is well pricey 🤣🤣 fab video as always x
Thanks very much! And good luck if you do!
When you put your hands on the , are leaving body oils on it so when the job is finished you still could have a problem with the paint staying stuck
Actually looks OK 👍
Good job....
Looks good, have you remembered to register the change of colour on the logbook with dvla ?
Oh yes will do! Thanks!
I wudnt of done the wheel arches lile that 🤔but it does look well fairplay
Did you specifically use vehicle paint or house paint?
Looks great though. Matt and rolling is the right decision if you are afraid that you will have to weld something again and then paint over parts. A better finish can be achieved with a primer/filler from a spray can, or with a coating such as Raptor. Good luck
Thanks for the tips!
Dont want to be the smart ass - did it myself with a pistol and better had rolled @@storkyadventures
Great job looks fantastic on a different note tell the DVLA re new paint work swap
Thanks! Will do!
Great job love the color, how many tins of paint did you use for that size of van, as I have transit
Hey, it was only one and a half in total, it goes a long way with the white spirit mixed in!
@@storkyadventures thank you..
Great job Lana, I think it turned out great. Did you apply any type of clear coat for protection?
I’m assuming you didn’t due to the low cost.
Thanks for your hard work, test job for sure.
This is Alan, GREETINGS from Riverside in Southern California.
I have not yet but I will! Nice to meet you!
Can I ask why did you add the white spirits into the paint? Is that what it says to do on the tin or is there another reason as to why? Thanks 😎🙏
It thins is out and makes it easier to apply apparently 😊
To be fair, that looks good, im looking to do my T4 too..
Thank you! Best advice would be don't use tape which is too sticky! Takes forever to get it off!
@@storkyadventures Noted... lol
When you drove home from the car wash you picked up some road grime from the highway
I loved this van and now im interested to buy one just wondering and hopefully you can help me with info .. what brand and model is this van not sure if i can find it in California USA Help please
Hey, its a Volkswagen Transporter T4, I think you should be able to find a few in the states 😊
@@storkyadventures thanks for the reply greatly appreciated
🙏🙏👍👍arches are going to come back and bite you , needed welding , shame because lookin good
Hi, Lovely paint job looking at doing my van, did you use satin or gloss ?
It was a matte finish we went for in the end! 😊
You are beautiful!!
WOW what body work ?
Great job, echo the clear coat comment.
Thank you!
Nice job, big improvement. How much paint did you use ?
I wish you'd paint my tip. 😂❤
Beautiful woman 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Van looks great, Lana looks like Paloma Faith!
didnt even notice the van
Class like yourself happy travels happy days happy life your a gem top girl 💯🙏✊👍❤️
Im debating doing my van like this because of the rust etc and cant afford a reapray ha
I think its worth it if you can't do the professional re-spray like us!
Its a shame you didnt show any up close images/video of the finished job. Have you uploaded any detailed photos elsewhere ? thanks
You are soooo gorgeous like I’m in love idek what you’re saying
How not to prep a van for paint vid but enjoyable vid
There was a van 🤔 I never noticed.
And out of nowhere im sitting here debating painting my Toyota Camry 😅
How much paint did you end up using out of interest?
I think it was a whole can in the end!
Sei veramente stupenda perfetto lato B ❤️😍😘❤️😍😘❤️😍😘🎉
Grazie 😊
Ti seguirò sicuramente 😘😘🥰❤️
Best looking woman in town you need no make up
Did your insurance go up or down after the paint job?
No, had no changes 😊
Painted what van?
Could have got a sprayer for £60.Yes extra expense but would have made the job a lot easier.
wait a second is that car paint or house paint?
I like it…. So much better than blowing 1000s on it
Agreed!
