Here are some of the tools that I used and recommend for my van conversion
For effectively spraying undercoating products (like Waxoyl) with an air compressor
Makes the tricky job of body filling much easier, faster and less messy
Really useful for cleaning up after a messy day with paint, oil, coatings etc.
If you have any amount of rust, you’ll need some wire brushes. I like to have an assortment of different types to get into every spot
Saves a lot of time removing fibreglass and paint and waxoyl from your skin. Use gloves!
For rust that really cannot be removed, the next option is to convert it. This stuff is the best I’ve used – and I’ve tried many
I used Hammerite for most general painting on my van, where colour matching didn’t matter
This is the best underbody coating I’ve found. Good for high impact areas such as the wheel arches
For best results get a fresh tin of filler. It doesn’t have a good shelf live once open
This is the exact same material as sound proofing products, yet much cheaper
