\"van-painting-drew-and-perk\"<\/a>Yesterday was a long, hot day of painting a camper van in the sun.<\/p>\n

I’m happy with how the painting turned out.<\/p>\n

I have 10-15 more vans to go…..<\/p>\n

Here’s how it all came about:<\/p>\n

\"nz-day-1-5\"<\/a>

Our New Zealand Van<\/p><\/div>\n

On our trip to New Zealand in February, we rented a camper van from Escape Camper Rentals<\/a>. When we got there, the German girl who checked us in said “wow, if I knew YOU were coming, I’d have had a white van for you to paint!”<\/p>\n

Andrew & Rob, the owners of Escape, just opened a location in Los Angeles and asked if I could paint a few vans here – about 10-15. \u00a0I said “let’s do it.” \u00a0So, yesterday we experimented with the first one at their lot in Lawndale. \u00a0Here’s how it went:<\/p>\n

\"Sketching<\/a>

Sketching it on with Pencil<\/p><\/div>\n

First: \u00a0I designed it on paper with the shape of the van in mind. \u00a0Then I drew the on the van roughly with a pencil, to give me a map to follow.<\/p>\n

\"van-painting-2\"<\/a>

Taping off first color combo<\/p><\/div>\n

My first color combination was yellow, orange and red.<\/p>\n

After it dried (pretty instant), I taped that off and sprayed my second color combination of dark blue to light blue to white.<\/p>\n

\"Applying<\/a>

Applying Detail while Brian Ill Films<\/p><\/div>\n

I added some detail with Uni Posca Pens<\/a> and an airbrush, then pulled the tape!<\/p>\n

\"Gotta<\/a>

Gotta have Poscas!<\/p><\/div>\n

For spray paint, I use Montana Spray paints because the colors are bright and bold and it sprays on real smooth and easy. (They are great for surfboards, too.)<\/p>\n

I\u00a0didn’t have any problems with this whole project – much to my surprise – the only real problem was painting out in the hot sun for 10 hours.<\/p>\n

Thanks to my good friends Perk <\/a>(John Perkinson) and producer Brian ILL<\/a>, we were able to document the painting in stills and video.<\/p>\n

\"van-paiinting-2\"<\/a>

One side Completed!<\/p><\/div>\n

The finish turned out really great and I can’t wait for it to be clear coated, making the colors pop. \u00a0Seeing it drive down the road will be awesome!<\/p>\n

We had so much fun in our camper van in New Zealand – it’s such a great way to travel around, especially if you have a lot of surfboards with you and you’re going from surf spot to surf spot. \u00a0This van is ready for rental now – if you’re interested, Call Escape Camper Rentals at\u00a0541-408-4979.<\/p>\n
