Wow, you're much braver than I am. You guys did a really good job for the first time ever doing it. I'm impressed!
LOL, "we're not professionals" but you did a great job! You also made it look much easier than I'm sure it really was. Back in 2018 I had a hunter green conversion van and it was super hot even still in spring. I knew I had to lower the temperature inside so I painted it white. I called it my ghetto paint job (because it was, LOL). I bought exterior latex paint and painter's tape at Walmart and all of the other supplies at Dollar Tree (brushes, roller, pan, tarp). One gallon didn't cover enough so I had to buy a second gallon. All in I spent about $50. Yours looks much nicer, but mine did the job I needed it to do. ;-) That white paint job dropped my van's interior temperature about ten degrees and was a life saver!
I won’t lie, I was a little scared to see how you would do on this after seeing how your cargo trailer job went. So pleasantly surprised and going to come back to your channel more often!
I love it! So much better than before, I bet you and Pippa are enjoying the cooler interior space more!
I am pretty amazed. Never would have thought it could look so good. Great job
It makes such a big difference!
I am super impressed how well it came out.
❤❤❤You just gave me enough confidence to do my car by myself. I have a subcompact Hyundai Accent & I'm already "handy", crafty & I can paint so I now am confident I can repaint my "Gold Nugget". Although I'm gonna keep her gold, I'm just going to use a more saturated & sparkly gold & Do a thick, thick, thick clear coat🫶🏽 Thank you!! This is the 1st video I've watched of yours🎉 I heard -WinterIsBlu- talking about you doing your van & I came to see too😊
I like it well done! You tackled something that most folks wouldn't even begin to try, and you did a great job. This is the Brooke and Pippa show at its finest! Watching from Wales Uk
Yay Brooke and Pippa...van looks way better than I thought it would...GOOD JOB💚💚💚
Oh my gawd you covered it!!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO PAINT MY EXPRESS
It looks really good on camera, especially with the window tint & dark wheels. You're very handy at doing many things.
Not very handy, just willing to try new things!
Brooke i am so impressed with your fortitude you are amazing😊 Hello to Pippa❤
Oh I bought that Wagner gun for furniture DIY and didn’t even realize I can use it on the van. This is amazing
This is my 2nd video Ive seen. I saw the one you posted a day ago after your carpet had been laid. Great job!!
We have an old Honda where the paint was wearing off. My husband hand painted it. Make sure you sand it good first. He had spots that he didn’t sand good enough so he sanded and painted it again. Only the cost of paint and not thousands .
I honestly didn't have high hopes, and am shocked at how good it looks. You are so inspiring to me how you dive in headfirst and get your hands dirty and figure it out. As females we're not always encouraged to do that, so I think its awesome.
I would have gone with white as well. Looks great!!
I’m am so impressed with your creativity and willingness to give new things a try!! You go girl!!! Love all the videos you post. Always looking forward to the next one.
For painting yourself in a desert mind you. It looks great! Much better than before!!
Wow that’s fantastic to do it yourself!🚎
Wow! You did an amazing job, Brooke! ❤
Thank you!
I am super impressed. It's not a cop magnet!
For a home job in the desert , it looks fantastic
Wow that was awesome. You go Girl wow does the van look good. You did a awesome job. Yes 👏👏👏Thank you foe sharing your. Video you made it look so.easy but I know it wasn't. So proud of you.
💜💜💜
Unbelievable! Just amazing. 😊
I think it looks great Brooke! Good job.
So great to see you in a van finally, I think you'll really love it. You'll have the room you need and not have to pull a trailer! We converted a van years ago for travel and vacations and it's so great to just keep everything you need in the vehicle and take off. Very excited for you, and can't wait to see what you do to the inside. Great job on the outside paint - you're awesome! BTW, ours was a light tan color and we loved it.
You know what your talking about and you know from your experiences what will work for Brooke.
Awesome ! You give me the courage to do this one day . Can’t wait to see your new adventures with pippa . 🌻☀️
I like the white your van turned out really good
Wow great job !! You guys did a great job , the white makes the van look so upgraded ! excited for the color choice later on but I it’s wise that you are leaving it at this stage for the summer months .
Mix 4 parts Rustoleum, 3 parts acetone, 1 part Majic enamel hardener from Tractor Supply with a cap full of Japan drier. Get you a high density foam roller, roll you on as many coats as you can, then a week later come back to wet sand and polish it. You’ll be absolutely SHOCKED at the results.
Dang girl you motivate me!
Wow!! Looks amazing! I am shocked how little time it takes to paint.
I didn’t realize the way you spray paint a car is the same way you spray tan a person😂
Great DIY project, looks great 🫶🏻
Gosh you're awesome! So empowering so see other women out there doing this stuff. To keep the light colour re heat reflective, what about a White Pearl mix with something like Purple or Orange etc. Still white but with the pearl vibe I think that will hide imperfections. Looking forward to the next update! 😁❤
Fun video! Looks great
Wow it looks great and stealth!
You did a good job.
Such a great paint job! Your prep work is super impressive as well!
You are tenacious! Great job!
Wow, you all did a great job! Can't wait for the next video
Love your sense of adventure
It’s perfect for now to get you by until you’re ready for the automotive paint. Good work!
It looks great! Super impressive!
Well done 👍🏾
It looks amazing!!! Good on ya!
Nicely done!!
It looks great. Brooke you are talented.
Wow! Awesome job ! I’ve been watching you since the beginning, I’m really happy for you and Pippa. Safe Travels!❤️
Nice!! I would like to paint my own buuuuttttt....idk. I am currently building out my minivan and documenting on my channel. I love seeing people work on there own.
Omg, it looks awesome! ❤
It looks beautiful. You did a great job.
I am impressed! Great job!
😮😮😮 That looks amazing. I was crossing my fingers when you were doing the sanding but the test coat of paint!! Wow! What a difference
I think it looks great!
It turned out really nice!
Looks fabulous to me! Certainly better then it was. ❤😊
Wow fantastic job looks soooo much better.😊❤
I actually really like it. Great job girl.
Looks really great!
Looks great!!!! Good job. I was skeptical at the beginning of the video but am actually impressed.
That turned out great!
Paint will cure after a few days and look smoother
It looks great ! I love it ❤
Not bad for your first paint job.
Looking great! I just painted my house with a (large capacity) sprayer last year and it was magical!
Wow it looks great, y’all did a great job, you Rock 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
WOW .dont think i have it in me to paint a vehicle. So excited to see you do the work! Turn out ok for your initial work
Amazing job❤
Great job on the paint
I really like the new look. Now, I will be waiting to see the bext color. Way to go! 🎉❤😊
We had a 1997 dodge van we camped in. It was originally a green color, based on the door jam, but painted white. I wanted to use Monstaliner to repaint it. We ended up selling it for other reasons. I love this series of van build!
You did a great job.
it looks great!
Great job 👏 ❤
I am impressed...Looks great...😀
You're amazing. 🌟
looks awesome
nicely done!🎉
That roof is just screaming for solar panels!! Van looks great!! Happy Camping and Safe Travels!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🐶🐶
Roof top carriers, solor panels, boxes on the rear hitch scream "living in my car" & "let me look and see what they have I could use". Sooner, than later it will disappear.
I think y'all did a great job, especially considering that you've never done anything like this before. How exciting! 🚐
Looks great 👍
It looks good 👍🏻
A really long time ago, I painted my vw a different color. After all the sanding we wiped all the dust off with a rag dipped in gasoline. It really cleaned the surfase so the paint adhered. Not sure is we did it because we used automotive paint. You did great on your van.
Looks good!
Looks good
Looks Great 👍
😮Looks good 😊
I like where you sanded it It looks marbled. The white turned out nice.
lol yeah the sanded version was a look for a while
Good job!!
I spray painted my white van with Rust-Oleum. No sanding first or anything. Just a spot spray here and there. Looks like a cr@p job when up close. but ANYTHING is better than the peeled paint with rust showing, not to mention, I saved $$$$$ of dollars! Was quoted an insane amount to have it done professionally. (ssshhh, don't tell anyone, but while I was spraying, the wind flipped over the piece of paper to protect my window, sticking it up backwards on the wet roof. I couldn't get the paper unstuck. Ripped off what I could and sprayed back over the spot again. ;) :)
Hello from north Carolina
I like it!
Living in FL, I am a white vehicle person due to heat
It looks great on camera.
Great job
Sure looks nice on camera at a distance...if you want to thin out the paint for every 12 oz of paint you can use 4 oz water is the recipe Ive used to thin out the paint a bit to come out of the sprayer nicely. Not sure about oil but, could google that. The white looks super nice!! 😊
Well oil and water don’t mix together so you’d have to thin with acetone
@@BrookeandPippa Right...Iol
It looks good to me!
Brooke made a life choice and has embraced the change. Assume the van "felt right." Towing anything doubles your responsibilities and costs. RVs are for campgrounds - you utilize septic, water & electric That's what RV's (especially the ultra lights ones are designed for. Vans are better option for boondocking. Put out an awning if space is a priority. However a van limits where she can boondock. An SUV with AWD allows boondocking in more varied locations and would expect cheaper to run than a E350.
Primer first.
