So having decided that my 101 looks a little like a sardine can in silver i have decided to change the colour.

After reading a load of posts about rolling i decided to give it a shot using a harris foam roller (which most agree is great for this sort of thing). I did my gearbox cover but the paint dried a bit orange peely so i opted for a sparygun from screwfix (£20). So glad i did, the longest part was the prep which i did using a scotchbrite pad in tricky areas and a dual action orbital sander with 180 grit paper. Once it was all keyed the first spray took 45 mins top to bottom. I was about to start the second coat but my elderly next door neighbour has just put out her washing right behind (3 feet away) my 101!! :scratching_chin:























Im sure she is going to look great once finished. :D
 
Last time I painted my Landy the ladder slipped when I was almost on the roof; fell down and pulled my arm out of its socket and ended up in A & E for the night. It was a painful experience.
 
I buggered up the land rover decal on the front though so will be removing it as the "LAND" is wonky.
 
Whats the color called? or paint code? I have seen that the military have used a couple of different "desert" shades this looks like the darker one to me and I think I prefer it
Thanks
 
Looks good from oop norf too. Stickers etc. look really good too - just enough without being OTT.

Always like a forward control - i drive past a yellow one every so often looking all forlorn - and I feel quite sad for the old girl...
