I then moved onto the roof. Van's are massive when you're painting them and so I used two gorilla benches - that was fun walking across both as I sprayed and making sure I didn't fall down the middle of them! - to get high enough to paint the roof with at least reasonable access to all parts (the centre is a touch drier than I'd like but it's got good coverage so will wet rub back fine with 1200. Masking was on the gutter line. Then when I do the body I'll mask in the roof area of the gutter line. A quick scuff of 800 on the gutter line will clean any paint line before I spray the main body area...
Things to watch out for are to make sure you put extra attention on the insides of the gutter rails to get good coverage inside them - and to watch to make sure you don't overbalance onto the roof when it's still wet!!
