It's been a slow start to the renovation and I can't help but think about all the lovely sunny warm days that I have missed during the Summer and early Autumn months.
I've applied one coat of Dulux Weathershield Undercoat (white) to the front of the caravan and I feel as though this renovation project has officially started!
The preparation of the body work took much longer than the painting itself. Cif, Scotch Brite, sanding, sanding and more sanding (wet and dry) and degreasing was necessary. IT'S HARD WORK!
I'm sure there are many ways in which you can prep but this worked for me.
The manufacturers paint application advice was to use a brush which I used for cutting in but I have to admit to failing to conform and using a smooth foam roller. There are pros and cons to this I'm sure. The brush application seemed to sit much better on the metal with brush lines. The roller applied the paint smoothly and went a long way. The roller is prone to holding too much paint with spray. I guess you can find your own technique on this. Time will tell of the roller finish vs. brush.
