DIY Van TRANSFORMATION With Raptor Paint

We've landed in Wales to tackle a serious problem—a leaking van roof. In true Neil & Emma style, we’re not just fixing it—we’re stripping everything off! The solar panels, tilting mounts, awning, Mule roof rack, and more all come down as we prepare for a full Raptor liner roof coating using a honeycomb roller (spoiler: it looks incredible 👀). This is just the beginning of a complete van transformation. We're testing the Raptor finish on the roof first—and if it holds up, the entire van is getting the treatment 😱 👉 What you'll see in this episode: Full rooftop strip-down How we found and treated roof leaks Prepping the van for Raptor paint (cleaning, sanding, degreasing) Our thoughts on roller vs spray application Solar upgrades + rewiring Behind the scenes laughs, lists, dogs, and chaos Vanlife isn’t always pretty—but this is the real deal. Come along as we get stuck into one of the biggest jobs we’ve ever taken on 💪 📍 Filmed at Vanology HQ – shout out to the team for the tools, tea, and tall Pauls 💥 💬 Let us know if you’ve ever tackled Raptor paint or roof leaks in the comments! #vanlife #raptorpaint #DIYspraypaint #urbanvanlife ▫️ SUBSCRIBE FOR WEEKLY VIDEOS https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx8w... ▫️ MERCH https://urbanvanlife.myspreadshop.co.uk/ ▫️OFFICIAL WEBSITE https://www.urbanvanlife.co.uk IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT US ON THE ROAD https://www.buymeacoffee.com/urbanvan...
