Painting BUMPERS and TRIM Black - DIY Budget Campervan Conversion

In this video we'll be prepping and painting our old tired looking grey bumpers and trim a clean and fresh looking black!
Being a 13 year old van the bumpers and trim had many scuff marks and scratches so before we could paint them we needed to tidy up the old war wounds.
After seeking much advice on how to tackle the bumpers and trim we ended up opting for spray cans from a company called Autotek. They had many decent reviews accompanied with pictures on Amazon so we thought we'd give them a try too.
Below are the product links* if you're interested in checking out more closely what we've opted to use in this part of our build.

So WHO are WE? We’re Scarlett, Craig and Merlin and along with Helsing, form the PILGRIM PODS!
If you enjoy this video why not check out some of our other content? Delve even deeper into our channel; we thought we’d create a series of vlogs chronicling the conversion of our old panel van HELSING (did you see what we did there?) into a weekend warrioring campervan for ADVENTURING and EXPLORING in the UK.
Each vlog will cover a stage or smaller element of our campervan build, showing our ideas put into action and highlighting our SUCCESSES and FAILURES along the way. With no previous experience this may make for an interesting journey! Our plan is to convert a cheap van on a small budget without cutting corners and at the end, have a campervan to be proud of. We’re hoping you’d like to join us for this journey and that you find our uploads ENTERTAINING and even, INFORMATIVE!
So, in this vlog we'll be prepping and painting the bumpers and trim of our campervan using a black spray paint. Did they turn out alright?

@PilgrimPods 3 года назад

It was a bit of an ugly duckling when we first bought it and I think that's why we got it for only £1500. I'm pleased with how we've managed to tidy it up. I only wish I had in my skillset the ability to properly sort the dent between the side loading door and wheel arch. Still irks me but everyone tells me it's 'character '. 😁 Any comparison to Sir Greg is high praise indeed so thank you very much for that! Have yourself a great weekend. 😊👍

Hi Craig, what a tremendous job you have done so far, I to have thought of doing something like this. I love the fact that you are building it as cost effective as you can. I wish you many happy outing with it. It won't look out of place anywhere. Well done. Les Londi

@PilgrimPods 3 года назад

Thanks Les. We've always wanted a camper (13 years and counting) for weekend exploring but of course until we're out there we won't know if long term it's for us hence the budget build to avoid wasting money we don't have. We'll have two items on board we won't scrimp on though which will be the Maxxfan as nothing compares to them and we want to keep the van cool for the dog. The other item will be a good 12v fridge as the cost up front will hopefully be offset by the energy efficiency of it long term. Thanks for the lovely comment mate. 🙂🍻

I was going to opt for the heat gun method too because I've seen some fantastic results. I was put off by other folks saying the method can make the plastic brittle over time though. Whether that is true or not I don't know as I didn't do my own further research.

@tine8849 4 года назад

Nice work. Not many people that have gone as far as giving their vans a full repaint & it looks so tidy. My plan is to use Raptor liner on the plastic. It'll leave a nice texture and I won't worry about the scratches as that'll fill them. I'm pretty glad I don't have to paint mine, just gotta figure out how to get rid of the ghosting the old vinyl left.

@PilgrimPods 4 года назад

Thanks. Maybe going over the panels with T-cut would remove the ghosting from the lettering? I think that's what I'd try. 👍

@captaindrywall 3 года назад

be careful to not use Raptor on the frame, it nicks and gives pockets for water to stand.

Cheers man. If you watch our video on painting our van with a roller you'll see some close up pics there. There's a little bit of orange peel but not to the extent it looks unsightly. You only really notice it really close up. And of course after another two or three coats to build up the layers we'll be flatting it back and polishing it up for a glass like smooth finish. But first, the interior! Thanks for watching. 😊👍
