Default Landrover fun

Got a bit bored on new years eve and new years day, so finally bit the bullet and decided to respray my landrover.

I didnt go crazy, after all it is a work horse, it would have been a waste of time to try and rectifiy any dents. In fact all those goons that go and spend £30-40k on a new landrover amazes me because even from the factory they still come out with ripples and dents in the ally panels from where all the rivets are

The new colour is a landrover colour, the one they used on the tomb rader models and the XS stationwaggons. Paint is two pack, 5 base coats and 4 Laquers.

Well im pleased for 2 days work and £130 of paint

Now just waiting for my new tyres to arrive so i can fit them to my new wheels

Tyres are £125 per corner with out fitting.

Hope you like
