Glad it went well for you. pictures?

Right, i'll attempt a before an after picture upload. This never seems to work for me Before After Close up I managed that with a cheap £1 roller from Wilkos.

I too will be painting this weekend. Weather dependant!! I'm fed up of painting now, I've had to sand this 2K paint back so many times. The quality of the 2k is noticeable though.

This one was painted gloss black. The finished was good, i think i did about 10 coats, doing 2 - 3 in a day then sanding the next day. Got a good finish and shine to it.

I'm using there https://www.smlmarinepaints.co.uk/brushes-rollers/finishingrollers/foam_roller They have a concave edge to eliminate tram lines. Should help eliminate dark/ light sports as you can roll all over without worrying about putting in tram lines. Also don't dissolve in strong...

I've painted two land rovers with gloss rollers. Its really the type of paint that affects the final outcome. The first was done with a "Land rover Paint" from ebay. It was thinned down and went out super thin. It went on smooth, with minimal sanding between coats. Did 3-4 coats then sanded, and...

I had the same issue a while ago. 3 bolts undid no problem - 4 bolt would not budge. Tried everything. Ended up cutting the top off and bending the bumper down as much as i could and cutting the bumper off too. Then i held the bolt as high as it would go and chopped it off there. That made it...

I've heard that local council ones are good actually

Not lenient, just one that understands 20 year old land rovers.

Can anyone recommend a decent test centre in Merseyside? Ideally Wirral

Was thinking of using a compressor. I have no idea how long ago it was last done. So was going to clean it up the best I could and then waxoyl it. I have a air grease gun that looks similar to that. I wonder if that'll work.

Ok yeah that's what people seem to say. Only waxoyl once work is done. I just thought it could be idea to fill the chassis rails with waxoyl while the ends were open. I'll weld then waxoyl. Thanks

Hello, I'm going to be replacing the rear cross member at some point and I thought I'd use the opportunity to fill the chassis with waxoyl. However, I never see anyone recommend this so is there any reason not to weld on a chassis that's full of new waxoyl? For example is it flammable? Or...

They typically do 10% off online with a pop up code on their site here is the 50l http://m.clasohlson.com/uk/Cotech-50-Air-Compressor/18-3428

I just skimmed through the replies to opologizes if it's been mentions but clas ohlson do 2 that look decent. I think a 24l and 50l for £79 and £149. I think they're oil-less so could be used to spraying and the 50l should run air tools

ive ordered some of these https://www.smlmarinepaints.co.uk/brushes-rollers/finishingrollers/foam_roller Should work. I'll try them and play the result

I find t strange because I've seen some threads on mig welding forums about following 2k primer and apparently it's pretty standard. I'll have to just buy hundred of them!

So i accidentally discovered a property of etch primer that i hadn't known before - Its ability to loosen nuts. On the weekend I was replacing the master cylinder and i couldn't get the clutch pipe to budge from the adaptor. After trying for a while and accidentally twisting the pipe slightly...

Hello, I started painting my land rover with Non-Iso paint and I've some across a strange problem. This is the paint i bought; http://www.jawel.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=177_178&products_id=3409 Overall, its very good, just needs a lot more thinning than recommended for...

Zeaphod - Thats a good idea. I'll give it ago. Thanks
