Changing of the colours

So having decided that my 101 looks a little like a sardine can in silver i have decided to change the colour.

After reading a load of posts about rolling i decided to give it a shot using a harris foam roller (which most agree is great for this sort of thing). I did my gearbox cover but the paint dried a bit orange peely so i opted for a sparygun from screwfix (£20). So glad i did, the longest part was the prep which i did using a scotchbrite pad in tricky areas and a dual action orbital sander with 180 grit paper. Once it was all keyed the first spray took 45 mins top to bottom. I was about to start the second coat but my elderly next door neighbour has just put out her washing right behind (3 feet away) my 101!! :scratching_chin:























Im sure she is going to look great once finished.

Done the second coat yet?

Yes indeed, ill get some pics up soon

Last time I painted my Landy the ladder slipped when I was almost on the roof; fell down and pulled my arm out of its socket and ended up in A & E for the night. It was a painful experience.

Ouch, luckily the 101 has an escape hatch on the roof so no ladders for me

Come on then where's the pics 'tis the

Sorry its taken so long! Just a few more bits to add and the outside will be done.

I buggered up the land rover decal on the front though so will be removing it as the "LAND" is wonky.

Looks great.

Nice work, Looks good

I like the colour, nice paint job

Final Decals on

Looks awesome with the new decals

Whats the color called? or paint code? I have seen that the military have used a couple of different "desert" shades this looks like the darker one to me and I think I prefer it
Thanks

Looking good!

Beige to match you elderly next door,
Iike the plan to keep painting.

Great job! looks awesome

Looks good from oop norf too. Stickers etc. look really good too - just enough without being OTT.

Always like a forward control - i drive past a yellow one every so often looking all forlorn - and I feel quite sad for the old girl...

That's a nice job
