I am in Stockholm, and the world around me is turning into vibrant colors. Fall is here, and you can feel the shift in the air. This is the time of year when everything slows down, and it's time to take it easy. Even if I don't really want to, I have no choice but to do so.

I Painted My Camper Van With A ROLLER!
มุมมอง 11K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
So finally, I am done! I decided to paint the outside of my camper van gray, but not the usual way. I used fence paint from a nearby store and used a roller to paint it onto the van. The result was shockingly nice for what it is, and it's at least much better than white, in my opinion. Now, you might wonder why I am working on the brakes if they worked. Luckily, I got hold of the work schedule ...

hey, how is the paint holding up?
Perfectly! 😀
Are the transitions screwed into the wood (ribs) or are they through to the metal?
Nothing is screwed in to the metal, every thing is glued 🙂
@@OneRoad92 Good to know, thank you!
Great video man! Nice van you got aswell, very cozy! Have a great journey in life and keep doing your thing!
Thank you!! 😊
Hope you're doing great and i can't wait for the next video
Thank you! More videos on the way. Just alot on the plate at the same time right now. 😊
Keep at it fella. I have subscribed so I can watch how your story telling develops.
Thank you! 😊
Love the paint job mate. Similar to mine. Bit I was not brave enough to do it myself. You just yourself a new Aussie subscriber
Thank you! 😊
Nice to see you again. Love your video, you are a great editor of videos and sound. Be safe my friend.
Thank you, I will 😊
Post as often as you can and want, yet don't feel pressured into it. Filmschool should be the priority I'd say. Good luck! And great to see the colorful landscapes.
Thank you!
Damn seems nice to live in a van fr
It Is! 😊
Appreciate you sharing.
My pleasure! 😊
Your videos have been extremely helpful to me and my sweetheart - we met as van lifers on the road and are now converting a van Together- you are missed and your videos are deeply valued!! Keep going! I would try TikTok to get more following and views! We both wish you the best ; keep stride!
Thank you so much! 😊🙏 I will keep going, its just taking abit longer to make the videos then i realy want it to. Next video is coming out soon 🙂
What paint was it you used ??
I used paint made for metal fences that i got from my nerest hardware store
thanks for the honesty. Your a good man Mat.
Thank you! 🙏
Excellent job my friend, well done.
Thank you very much!
Just need that bull bar at the front in black now 👍
Ye! That might not be a bad ide 🤔
@OneRoad92 done a good job though. My next project next year is building a camper van
@NoviceWildCamper Thank you! Good luck with the build! 🙂
Nice to see you go from building to adventuring! Next thing you know you'll be studying!!
Thank you! I am glad that I got to this point, and I am looking forward to what's to come.
Finally got the internet working again. I watched this episode from you to determine the quality of the bandwidth. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your everyday life.
My plesure to share and thank you for being here watching!
Thanks again for taking us along. Brings back memories seeing Njupeskär! How did the van handle the last couple of kms up to the upper parking spots? That part is quite steep too... I remember having to down shift all the way down to 2nd to keep up the revs a bit.
Ye I hade to down shift as well. But the old darling handled it nicly on the way up, 🙂
It´s so cool to finally see you living this idéa out, remember when we met on the train one day from Uppsala and you told me that you were about to begin this journey. Really looking forward to see more of your travels, MVH Geten (Fredde)
Thank you! So do I 😁
Hej Mats. Jag har följt dig sen du började och jag är imponerad av det du har gjort. Hoppas att du har det bra och jag väntar ivrigt på nästa video.
Tack så mycket!! Jobbar på nästa video redan nu, hoppas vara klar till på söndag 😃
Heja Mats! :D
Tack!
Thanks for taking us along! Some familiar places (to me) and some new places. Wishing I was in Sverige again....
I do my best! Thank you for watching! 🙂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Helt fantastiskt Mats!!!! Så kul att ha dig som klasskamrat på Videoproducer utbildningen på Medieinstitutet!!! 🎉🎉🎉
The overall effect looks great… But I’m not sure that texture is something I would want on mine. I think I’m going to look at spraying instead.
Good job man! I like the idea of painting a panel at a time.
Thank you!
Good luck at film school!
Thanks! 😊
Congrats on passing inspection 🎉
Thank you! It took som time but finaly!
Inspiring story and told in a manner I can relate to. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for listening! 🙂
The foam cutting solution is briljant!
Thank you! 😃
Good job, I think this shall work out just fine. I´m thinking to do something alike. What glue did you use for the beams?
Common construction glue
No, you are wright. People are stupid. I worked in places that handles a lot of people every day and man are some of them stupid. You are brave to tell your story and I will keep on watching your channel. I wish you the best.
Thank you so much!
good luck with your new channel
Thank you! 😃
Spännande! Lycka till 💪
Tack! 😃
Nice video :)
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Dont usually comment on videos, but keep doing your thing! The van looks great. Greetings from Norway
Thank you! I have just been in Norway. But thats for a future episode 😁
Nice van , I've been to Gavle many times , to Sweden Rock . And I've driven all over Europe for work , good luck with your studies
Thanks! 😃
Good luck, follow your dreams and we will come along with you ha
Thank You!
Love the video! Very interested in using this idea as headroom is a luxury for us in our van. How have you found it?
Thank you! Do you mean how I find the Armaflex?
Very nice, how much have you spent? I guess it’s way cheaper than using the Raptor specific paint!
Thank you! Yes it is, I spent around $120 in total for everything
Surley if you squash it with a roller you will stop its effectiveness? Just wipe over it with a cloth works
No it won't, the ide is to add Weight to the metal nothing else
looks good
Thank You!! 😃
I like it
Thank You!
From the Netherlands…. Great job. I like it that you took your time and you took the time to clear the roof. Love the color and the result.
Thank you so much!! 😊
great insight, i am going for the same colour
Good shose my friend!! 🙂
Looks fantastic, Well done! Sooo much better than white!
Thank you! I think so too 🙂
White is doing great in sunny climate
@@You_Can_Do_If Indeed, my van is silver which I'm happy for because its 30 degrees at the moment!
Well done 👏 I’ve just washed scrubbed and painted the roof of my van white hammerite.was going to do black,but bird waps thought better just keeping it white.would like to do black raptor from the trims down 👍.✊🙏❤️👌👊😎
Thank you! 🙂
That is great man. Love the color. It almost at first looks like a rhino liner. Keep it up, from New York.
