Heres mine but you dont need to go so high just use more on the floor, im wearing the jeans now that i wore the day i did it and theyve got blue paint on them but looks quite cool along with the fashion holes ive got in them.

I have to say that personally I didn't find the smell of it that bad at all,.. it didn't really bother me!
I went for the grey, which I reckon looks great in my van, and I'm very pleased with the results. I ripped out the tank & gear Friday night, painted it Saturday, put it all back in Sunday and was at work bright and early Monday morning!

Couldnt you do the settee in blue protecta-coat , thereby waterproofing it as well ?

shouldnt you have ripped the old ply out first, whats to stop the water getting in at the door area and then sitting under the ply just rotting the van ? ? ? ?

It'll find a way in,...

Rip up the ply in a week or 2 and it'll be soggy underneath.

my old van had a ply floor which i sealed all the gaps and then painted on top, the water still got in, hence the new van has no ply, ive just protectakoted the floor and covered the floor with rubber door mats that are cable tied together, if someone could tell me how to post a pic id show you what i mean.
