You have done a tidy job there. I had no doubts you had, but looked so neat! We used a tin of brusheable on my lads shell, and some stuff from the tube too.

 

We are down to our last three tins of brushable, which should just about cover my van and my mates pickup, plus about 6 tubes :-)

Yeah I used Sonniks trick of masking out where I wanted the sealer and also rubbed down any hard lines where it had dried.

 

Also paint the stone chip over the top of the sealer which masked it quite a bit.

 

Hopefully I can get my trusty mate round on Thursday to help me roll it over.

I'm alright pal I'm on the inside looking out, it's everyone on the outside looking in that'll need the shades!!!! haha.

 

Today is rollover day as my mate couldn't make it last night... I tried to do it myself last night but didn't want to risk dropping it.

 

I'm off again next friday so another long weekend so should have the sill on, painted and hopefully back on the subbys by May bank holiday.

We have rollage... The van is rolled over!

Also forgot what the otherside looked like and how much more there is to do.

Main aim is to get it on the ground though.

Does anyone know how long you have to wait for seam sealer to cure before painting stone chip over it?

as long as you can; overnight if in a warm garage ideally.

 

Leave it a short time and the seam sealer "pickles". Been there, done that!
