Hi guys hope you are all enjoying the last of the summer! I’m looking to repaint the rear floor on my landy 110 van as some of the paint has come off and looks grubby, just wondering can anyone recommend a good acid etch primer which doesn’t react with the paint as I don’t want to have to get it all back to bare metal, as I understand some etch primers don’t bond well with existing paint?

Worth a shot

Thanks in advance

Upol is excellent stuff. As is Buzzweld, jump on their FB page or give em a ring, hell suggest something for exactly what you want

Another vote for the Upol, I have used lots of cards of this over the past few weeks

How easy was it to remove the checker-plating? Mine is riveted into place.

Just drill the heads off the rivets & pull the plating off unless the last owner has used Sikaflex or the likes to seal it
then youl need to run a sharp knife ie Stanley, between the plating & panel then just punch out the remaining part
of the rivet in the panel.
