Here, here, I do not see the point either. 

 

How long do you think before it will be in top coat?

Well hopefully I'll get it 2k primed this weekend and then it's just a case of fitting it in at work for final finishing and top coat. So maybe a couple of weeks :)

Well it's in primer now, I masked the inside off first I that I could prime the outside, demask it and then prime the inside to try and get a decent finish so that it wouldn't need a great deal of flaring before paint. If I did it all in one go the inside would have ended up too dry and dusty.

Thanks :)

Got all the primer flatted this week and finished off the sealer work, then got the van into the booth to paint the undernieth engine bay and inside.
