can i use bitumen water proof paint instead of protectakote, as i think protectakote is over priced for what it is

[DaveG]

I would say yes mate..

I used Thompsons Roof Seal from B and Q (about £20 a tin) and its been fine..

But I would also recommend putting some rubber matting on top (£15 B and Q) approx 2 by 1 metre . This prevents excessive wear from lifting stuff in and out of the van.

One tin is plenty for any van smaller than a Tranny.

Hope that helps..

i used underseal on my last van then stuck a rubber mat in the floor was still good when i sold it. it stays a bit sticky though

A "decent" floor paint will get the job done - Its worked for me in my last 5 vans (floor and sides)- the stuff they use on factory floors - Dont buy the cheap stuff you will regret it!
