    Hi,

    I have bought a van a plan to paint in.. (in a decorative semi-hippy style)

    I am a newbie to this so wanted to ask advice on how to go about it..

    this maybe a silly question, but is it possible to get a particular type of special paint that can be rollered/paint-brushed on and won’t flake off/fade too much or do i need to use a spraycan?

    But issue is that we are being pretty specific with colors and dont neccessarly expect to find a straight from the can spray colour, and also arent looking to make it look too shiny etc.. its more an organic ‘hippy’ type feel.

    overall we want a matt finish and lots of choice of paint colours/mix our own…

    once decided on the paint, what are the general steps to take..?

    any advice would be much appreciated

    Thanks

    Matthew

    Haven’t got a clue, but one
    Haven’t got a clue, but one idea is to park it in an inner city urban area and let the graffiti artists loose on it.
