That's what I plan on doing to.. is 4 or 5 coats including primer?
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?)

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