Get a breather/respirator behind a Darth Vader mask. If you are using a roller, paint the handle to look like a lightsaber.

Opening credits, put both hands out towards the van before you paint it. Then fastforward to completed job. Like you used your mind and let the farce paint the Vanagon for you.

Other ideas: 1) Get GF or other suitable person. Put breather filters on side of head to mimic Princess Laid-up's hairdo. 2) Put short people (kids may be susbstituted) as Ewoks or those desert bandits. (forgot what they're called). Use for sanding prep. Preferably a bunch of them. Dialogue: "Ewoks on. Ewoks off." 3) Have Chihuahua come in in the middle of the process and just howl like a Wookie. Dialogue: "Leave now, Chuy. I doin' this Solo, bato." 4) Luke Slywalker (dressed in drag) comes into view yelling, now where did I park my Toyada truck."

End it with a William Shatner lookalike breaking into your homemade spraybooth whispering, "I can get you a better room for less."

OK, now back to your morning programming.:-)

I’m not a mechanic in real life but I  play a bad one on TV.

I’m not sure if there is an audience for this as I don’t know how many people want to tackle this at home.  I’m also hesitant as my Sony video camera was dropped and destroyed while filming the front heater core video and the logistics of filming while painting seems tough.  Plus not sure how funny I can make a painting video....
