Hi all, this was supposed to be a film of a lovely roller paint job on my lightweight, but it didn't quite turn out as I'd planned! Have a laugh at my expense!
How NOT to roller paint a lightweight! Good for a laugh!

If you rewind the film saying you brought it that colour & now you have rubbed it down to this & then post film 2 in Mat green no one would have noticed.

Not overly keen on full gloss. Much prefer the semi gloss on rough work. Hides a multitude of sins but easier to keep clean than mat.
Oh and in a Land Rover colour

Well here's first coat of the restoration effort. I was actually sad painting over what was actually a nice finish, despite the colour! Not as good a finish now but looks more like a Landy Should !

Couldn't get my hands on Bronze Green and didn't want to wait, so got the nearest thing I could find made up from local paint shop. Far as I know it's enamel chromatic colour paint with gloss. However, paints 4 trade is where I got the Kermit colour, and that was much better (easier to roll, nicer finish) paint.

Much better. Still not the "right" colour but i think it looks better than bronze green. A very nice green.
