Working on the van


I started out sanding just the rusty spots, intending to smooth outward from said spots and blend into the rest of the existing paint....
But I decided it was taking too long, and bought some industrial strength airplane paint stripper. Hasta la vista, existing paint job!

I quickly primed all of the bare metal to protect it from supposed upcoming rain that hasn't happened yet.
I need to figure out what color to paint this van. I'm leaning towards a light pink or green. Maybe a combo of the two? Hmmm....

Oh, I definitely think the combo would look great. I once saw one that was kind of a peachy pink, with a seafoam green that really looked nice.

I started reading your blog like six months ago after Googling "Austin unschooling" or something like that, and I just walked past your van, which is parked down the street from my house! I took that as a sign that I should de-lurk and say hello.
