Ah right great, there is some rust on the bulkhead, not corrosion yet though, so just sand it all back, I have phosphoric acid to treat it, and then use hammerite and paint over it? as for the chasis, it was waxoyled in August 2013, so should I just leave it as is? Thanks!

Ah great, well I found some NATO Green rattle cans, have one here actually and its pretty good, but one coat it comes right off, so will need to do a few coats with the rattle cans, but they seem alright, just hope i dont have any air bubbles rolling

Quick question regarding painting, it seems like rolling might be quite the task, especially in the small spaces, should I invest in getting a electric paint gun, and thin the paint and use that to paint it, or should I just buy aerosols in NATO Green for the parts the roller cant get? Hopefully...

Thanks for the info guys! :D I was looking for just a standard MOD look, not a professional look, but I want the anti corrosive stuff to be done right to protect my landy for as many years as possible really, not bothered about it getting scratched and coated with filth, as that will happen...

Thanks for the advice! Just spoke to my paint supplier and he said the following Dear kmanderson62, No problem. With regards to painting using the Etch & the Anti Corrosive Primer this will be fine and give your the added protection as required, please make sure each coat is dry before...

Ah alright, so should I use the etch primer, which in the description says its rust resisting first, then on top of that, an anti corrosive primer, then my top coat on all surfaces? I can't really tell what needs what to be honest, so that way seems fool proof The etch primer I was going to go...

Ah right, will sanding it all down do that? I have phosphoric acid and kurust, but i was just going to screw it and sand the whole thing down to bare metal taking all rust with it, then paint it all, thoughts?

Ah right, so what does it actually mean by etching? Think you could post a simple stepped guide, like, this is my idea of how to do it 1) Strip paint with sandpaper/orbital sander, sand off all rust too 2) Wipe down bare metal with white spirit 3) Fill areas that need to be filled then sand...

Ah right great, does anyone know a good acid etch primer? I can only find etch primers, I have a regular zinc primer though, then I can get to painting :D Thanks guys!

Ah right, just worried about corrosion with the age, could you link a suitable primer for the bits i have to sand right down? because there are some very rough parts, I also need to fill a lot of areas in with filler

Ah right great,yeah I will be brushing/rolling, the guy that sells the landrover anti-corrosive primer also has landrover self etching stuff, so I was just going to get that, think this will be good? Etch Primer Paint - Grey - 2.5 Ltr | eBay

Infact, would it be possible to go over the entire LR with a etch primer, then anti-corrosive primer? Would this give added anti corrosive benefits?

Ah that's what I was worried about, could you recommend a primer that would be more suitable? an anti corrosive one that can be used throughout the entire landrover on bare metral

Hey, I'm going to soon repaint my landrover and have decided to completely strip her of paint down to bare metal, because some of the surfaces are very rough (bad paint work), and to help prevent rust and treat the current rust. Would I be able to use this primer, on the bare metal? and do I...

Ah right okay, hopefully the stuff works well, wasnt too cheap

Ah great! Yeah I wiped the surfaces down first, if i give it a check tomorrow, will i notice the oily film? Thanks man!

Does anyone have any experience with ACF-50? I put it on but how long will it take to dry i guess? it keeps raining here whenever i start putting it on

Is it normal for the diff lock stick to be very stiff? I find myself having to pull as hard as i can to get it to lock into position, or am I doing something wrong?

Ah perfect thanks! :D Finally some posts I can understand about it haha! hopefully I haven't worn anything drying with the diff engaged, it was only a very short distance though, as in probably 50 meters if that haha

Hey guys! Recently I have been having slight problems with actually using the center diff properly, as in I have no idea what positions its meant to go in, and most posts I find are confusing or not really helpful, I can only seem to drive forward in L and reverse in H, am I right in saying it...
