i did my 110 matt green with roller cheep as chips
i did an old series 3 nato green,messy but did the job,i would stay with the silver,if the door bottoms are bitty and the other areas give it some check plate,
nato green goes a lovely pale green after some weathering and one thing that was odd whenever i went offroad and scratched or scuffed the body the nato green went pink
good luck

Id say yes but I'm biased:
It does seem a bit reckless though to start brush painting a td5 defender?
I don't know, depends how shagged it is I guess.

I gave mine a good wash and then rubbed it down all over with scotchbrite.
Slapped the paint straight on, all good.
It's got a brush finish but it looks ace tbh!

i roller painted mine in Satin green. Don't go matte, its a **** to keep clear and does not age or wear well.
Just so you know, the satin paint is usually celluose based, so be carefull when using any glues (on seals and the like) as this will usually melt the paint.
Also, the military paints tend to be very soft, so the do scratch fairly badly if you do a lot of laining. Buuuut then at 50 quid a go, i tend to just strip it down and repaint it again when it gets too bad.
