We chose to paint Westly with a 2-part aerosol epoxy product called Spray Max 2K. Turns out, it's pretty awesome stuff - you crack the activator at the bottom of the can, shake, and spray. They make a primer, a base, and a clear that are all of pretty great quality, and paint colors are custom-mixed by dealers (thanks 66autocolor.com!). In all, the process took us about 3 months to put all the paint on (I miscalculated the amount of paint we needed, so we had to place a few more orders). The black spray on the inside is Spectrum sound deadening paint, made by Second Skin. We figured that if we're going to spend some serious time in this van, we might as well make it a little quieter. Surprisingly, this stuff makes a HUGE difference. In all, we're very satisfied with the paint job - there are a few minor blemishes, but for a rattle can job, everyone seems to be impressed!
