Painting a Landy by hand

I just bought it from ebay.. it's called a "alternative to marrine blue" I was dubious but at £11.00 for a litre thought was worth a bash, was quite impressed with it. Drives very well and is a great colour. They might do other colours? five them a try.. drop me a message if you cant find it on ebay and I can send you the link

have found a few on ebay but if you had found yours locally I would have gone there. Going for a full colour change when I get time & materials so would have been good to try a couple of different colours first.
 
I used tractor paint and a good brush and it turned out like this

all I did was give it a quick rub down and primed the bare metal bits and then just brushed it on. It's not perfect but it only cost me £60 :D
 
If your paints in good nick, you can rub it down with a medium scotchpad and finish with a fine one.
You will need a good quality brush for the fiddly bits and a short pile gloss roller with spare sleeves. I use 2-3 sleeves when I do 110.
When I paint a landy, I take the bonnet off and do that first.

All below painted with a roller;

that looks great... how thick was the paint you used?

So literally just these foam gloss rollers?

NEW HARRIS MINI GLOSS ROLLER WITH 2-SLEEVES LOW PRICE on eBay (end time 27-Feb-11 07:51:30 GMT)
 
Paint was straight from the tin.
I used to use foam rollers, but found I got a better finish with a 'short pile' gloss roller.
