I sprayed mine Keswick Green when I done my rebuild. I think I ended up buying 3L, not including hardener, I didn’t use all 3L of it, I have maybe 0.5L left over. I sprayed everything, inside and out. It was all in bits, so probably took 40-50% more paint than doing it complete and built up.
Thinking of Selling Defender But

Seen yours that's what made me decide .might get away with 2 liters, Will only doing the outside, where did you get it from Mick ?
I bought it from Wards in bishop. It wasn’t cheap, but it’s very good paint. I would think 2L should do the outside.

Don't really know what price to put on it yet Mate, painted or unpainted, theres some rusty old things selling at the mo for good money so mine should be worth something good.I used 2L on my 90 still had a little left over for touch ups but I gave it 3 coats.

Think most on here have seen what Ive done to it, few pics of rebuild. got hundreds more photos .
Need to think what I want for it but not in a hurry to sell yet, in fact when I finally see it painted I might want to keep it.
Anyone got an Idea of price on this ? or please also feel free to PM Offers , I can only say yes or no.

Kinda hard to price them after you've put a lot of effort into them.
I sold my 90 to a mate after a full rebuild & I went all out on it, the fun was in building it I spent
over 6k on it, & sold it 6500. I do know that he's hooked on landys now lol
A private sale I would have got more but I was happy to get some dosh back & move on.
Ive had people asking me to build a landy for them after they have spoken to him.
I aint got the time but im always looking for a new toy.

I know exactly what you mean Mate, I loved every minute of doing mine, except when I nearly ground my fingers off with the grinder and all the other bumps and knocks, got the Scars to remind meKinda hard to price them after you've put a lot of effort into them.

It’s no bother. It’s 2K spray paint though, so it needs a spray gun to apply it. I will have a look this weekend and make sure it’s still good and useable.

Your paint is no good for him unless he mixes the whole lot together with the new batch, he needs to buy more than he needs from the same batch as they can/will differ. Nice to be kind though.

Mine was done in 2 batches, from the same shop. It was mixed to the LR paint code, LRC799.

Is your roof a different colour Mick ? can't remember
Yes, it’s painted black. I also painted the wheel arch spats, sill rail covers, grille, and headlight surrounds black too.

Not sure whether to go with white or not for the roof, will google some pics then decide.
