Thanks!I was full on Mr Miagi today; “Daniel-San, sand the floor!” Finished spraying the sealer on the walls, sanded the ceiling, sanded the floor, epoxy primered the floor and the jambs, and painted the inside of the front doors. I’m beat like a dog.

What makes me think this truck is going to be blue?

I'm tired just thinking about sanding all that floor. I would have considered a good cleaning and a shot of bed-liner.

Amazing work. Keep it up. You are going to have a nice van when you're done.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, with carpeted walls and ceiling!:D Maybe even some of those mirrored tiles on the ceiling, right over the bed? It is going to have the required bed in it, right? [ddd[ddd[ddd

Nah, it’s going to be a hauler so it’ll just have a full rubber matt in the back. No frills.
 
Thanks! Painted the inside; I’ll give it a few days to dry and then tape it off to shoot the ceiling.

Trying to paint the ceiling was just miserable; there’s no way to hold the gun straight to the surface. You’re always at a weird angle and it comes out with overspray streaks. I hope I can hit it with some polish and make it a little better. At least there will be a headliner on the front section to hide some of it.

Lookin' good!

Consider this. You said there will be no bed in the back, so no one will be looking up anyway. [ddd :D

I wonder if there is an attachment or special nozzle for painting up. Could be as simple as a 90-degree elbow where the tip attaches. I'll bet someone here could make such a device.
