I've been planning on spraying the landy for a while now but I have kept putting it off because of the weather. A neighbour let me use his shed over the weekend so I decided to prep it and get it done. Here's some pics of what I got up to.

It started off like this...

Then I sanded it down....


Primed it...



And then gave it a few coats of matte black..


And now this is it after it has hardened a bit and I've started to put it together..


Overall I'm pretty chuffed with myself, I've never done any spraying before and it's come out alright, there's still things I need to add like black chequer plating and a few other things but it isn't bad for a weekends work!

Looks good, hope I can get my rangy to that finish.

It's not that difficult, I had to hire a space heater so that it was warm enough, but it was the prep work which took most of my time up

looks very good mate, did mine in matte black last year, very hard to keep clean if you off road it a lot, but looks great when its clean!

Yeah it's marking pretty easy, finger prints and that. But I hope as the paint gets harder it doesn't show as much

I'm also putting this job off. Ill have to do mine outside so have to wait for better weather. Can't decide if I want to be lazy and use a roller or borrow a compressor and spray it. Its Something I'm not really looking forward to as I've never done a full respray (or repaint) before. Yours is looking good though.

Just be careful not to overdo the chequerplate. Don't want to cover up too much of the new paint-job (though I have to admit that chequerplate looks much better in black than unpainted).

Overall it cost me about £150, thats including the hire of the space heater, paint and sanding discs. And I'm just going to get tops of the wings and bonnet in chequer plate.
