Hi Ken and others, Roll on sounds like a better plan for me and even helpers then spray. Any tips on preparing the surface for best adhesion. My current undercoating is sticking well just getting thin or worn away in some areas. I’ve made some errors in the past resulting in paint falling off a project. Usually after using the wrong primer or not sanding between coats. I didn’t know there was a wrong primer before that disaster. Eric Caron 85 GL Auto Westfalia

Their spray on liner also works but if you don't use it right away, the nozzle gets too gunked up to spray. Roll on is preferred. > > Ken Wilford at vanagain.com <http://vanagain.com/> > > On Jul 4, 2017 8:16 AM, "Eric Caron" <ecaron1@comcast.net <mailto:ecaron1@comcast.net>> wrote: > Hi list, > > What modern products would folks recommend I use to refresh the undercoating on my Vanagon?
