In this video we’ll cover all the steps you should be taking in order to prep your used sprinter van for conversion. Gut the van of any unwanted materials Clean out the cobwebs and give it a bath Identify and treat any exposed metal and rust. Apply a new topcoat Seal all of the exterior trim water leaks Now that your van is looking and smelling better than ever, it’s time to move onto sound deadening.

PS....we went with spray paint thinking we were only going to touch up a few spots, but ended up covering the whole floor. If you plan on covering the same amount of surface area, it might be easier to go with a gallon and roll/brush it on.
