Loads of you out there have resprayed your landys.. I am going to give mine a full respray when I have it stripped down. Just wondering how much paint I should order?
How much paint???

2 litres hand rolled onto a truckcab 90. Still got half a litre left for covering up rust/scratches/crashes/blood.

What like is the finish with the roller? Would you use a different type of paint for that?

I used metal paint from homebase, oxford blue, came up really nice 2 coats on top of a light sanding...to be honest if your landy is as old and used as mine (1984) then its a cracking job...as said before the more prep work the better...its personal choice...mines used a bit for laning so gets scratched often and i just re-paint...if you want a perfect finish, more prep and more coats. Good look, i enjoyed doing mine.

thats 2 coats of primer on everything and then the 4 or 5 coats ontop of primer on a 1985 90 that had the sandy pain rolled on before, took bloody ages to get the stuff off!

Hi mate, how has the metallic come out with using a roller? I thought you couldn't really use metallic with a roller!? (looks daft with all metallic bits in roller lines?)

Thanks guys, looks like I'm going to be busy over the coming weeks!
Think I'm going to go with the satin black respray, I like that look and I have heard it is more forgiving. Only thing is do I go for black chequer plate or is that too black?

Us a black primer as it won't show scratches as quickly as a lighter colored primer would. A dark gray like charcoal gray
