Can't go wrong with NATO? !!!!!!!!!!
Yes you bloody can.
Got mine to stick (eventually) by Hammeriting it prior to application of NATO green. Don't use primer!
See previous post re :NATO green

haha! i meant colour wise, not application.

If you want paint to adhere to the panels that are Birmabright,you'll have to use an etch primer first .

Birma what?

brite

OK. So what is BIRMABRIGHT. For those in the dark please tell.

Hammerite special metals primer works quite well and it's water based so doesn't stink if yer painting in the shed.

why groenendael?,do you have one?

I hand painted my Land Rover using Tekoloid coach paint in Sandglow (Land Rover paint code LRC361) this is the colour the Camel Trophy vehicles were painted. I bought it from Breakwells Paints Ltd. tel: 01922 400 444, they do a mail order service and are very helpful. Some people say that with a good brush, coach paint can produce a finish close to that of a spray job - don't believe it. I am pleased with the job but you can certainly see the brush marks. I have used Dulux gloss in the past - it goes on well, and is tough once it has set, but fades after about 2 years and starts peeling off after about 7 years (I did key the surface before painting).

Even exterior quality stuff? i have some paint for ally garage doors, and wanted to attack me ally transit body with it and a roller.

About 2 months ago i repainted my SWB series 3 in limestone and bronze green, looks great now, I used synthetic coach enamel off landroverspares.co.uk. I a small paint roller to do it with, came up a treat, you don't get brush marks and its a piece of ****.
