Do you weld the pieces with the primer on or do you grind the edge or something before? I am looking to do this on my own T4 in the near future and wondering what the best practice is. I'd imagine that the weld would be contaminated by it, but it also probably doesent matter since its not structural. Could you perhaps explain the reasoning? Your repair looks great, btw!
Any metal that is behind another piece of metal I use etch primer. I use zinc primer for areas that are being welded as zinc primer activates with the heat. The weld isn’t contaminated and the primer acts like a flux when it’s hot and will burn away just leaving primer around the weld.
That’s one lucky van having an owner like you! Looks awesome mate, 👏

What are you using to spray that with, the finish looks spot on
Thanks buddy, only rattle cans, but I got the paint mixed up at my local paint supplies, it’s polyester base with clear lacquer.
Forgot to say new logo is great, but maybe without the exhaust smoke, looks like another engine rebuild on the cards.....👍😀
Thanks for the feedback, I can change that 👍 the only rebuild I want is for a performance build of 200+bhp 😂
@@TwiggsT4 ye and that would be worth doing it then, what a beast she would be ha ha ,cheers
