FULL PAINTJOB ON MY DYI MERCEDES VARIO VAN

Painting My Van After Lifting the Roof: The Ultimate Transformation! 🚐✨

In this episode, we’re taking the next big step in my van build project: preparing the van for paint after lifting the roof 40 cm! This video covers the entire process—from sanding and rust removal to priming and finally painting the van. It’s been a challenging journey, but the results are absolutely worth it.

What’s in this video:

Sanding and rust removal to prepare the van for paint

Installing custom brackets for the roof terrace

Priming and painting the van with professional-grade materials

Overcoming challenges like welding issues and rust spots

The big reveal: seeing the van with its fresh, sleek paint job

This project has been a rollercoaster of emotions, from the frustration of dealing with rust to the excitement of seeing the van come together. Huge thanks to my dad, Anton and Joakim for their help along the way!
