Update on the latest project on my Camper Van. Cockpit flooring!
I pulled all of the 40 year-old faded, dirty shag tan carpet and there was lots of old adhesive left behind on the floor pan. I decided that instead of trying for a clean, glossy surface I would go with a truck bed liner product and get a practical industrial look which I will cover with a one-piece custom cut rubber mat (62 dollars and should arrive later in the week). I will use double sided velcro to secure the mat and put some carpet style mats down on top for some coordinating colors.
Today was the hottest day of the year so far here, so of course, I had to do the bed liner today! Here are some pics of the procedure:
First sanded the flooring, I used 180 grit and masking the area:
Also had to prime some bare metal areas. I used a Rustoleum primer in a light tan color:
Then I cleaned the area and wiped it down with acetone for any grease and let that dry, then time for the Herculiner:
and apply first coat:
Let it dry for 3 hours and did the second coat and removed masks:
Passenger's side:
Driver's side:
Now it needs to cure for 24 hours and then I can do touch ups!
Very hot and tired, but satisfied!!
