Having painted a few Landrovers before with the roller method, the one I have just painted has bad orange peel, so bad it looks intentionally textured, I put this down to the paint being thick, no, actually it was I had the wrong gloss level paint,heh, I never read the label. So I am the thick one, ordered satin and got semi gloss, the whole truck is painted now the buck is OK, but the doors and wings look **** even after wet sanding back and buffing with a DA. What the #### do I do now? Rub the doors and wings back and order some spray aerosols mixed to semi gloss and respray or rip it all back and start again with SATIN this time? Any ideas, lol, as I am about to have a melt down, never had so much hassle painting a Landy before, paint reactions, striping back to the Aluminium, hours trying to get the shot blast sand out of the buck, six weeks of this **** and now to discover the ####ing paint was wrong. Even the new indicator lenses I ordered were the earlier type so I spent ages "removing" the glued in old ones, oh the blue LED dash bulbs were for a TD5 model, and to top that off some chequer plate bit behind the rear wheels don't fit because I have a 100 inch Hybrid so the buck is no standard length AND #### ALL FITS EVER!!!! I know, I know, I am a dick........ thanks for listening:boom:
Oh and I don't know what sort of Defender plastic arches I have but I needed a new rear one, got a new one, and guess what.......Jesus I though owning a Lotus Esprit would be a pain in the ass
