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!

Haha rub it down with a cheese grater & paint it Kermit green !!

I rollered mine nato green, looks like your paint application was actually good just that colour is a bit much lol

Thanks! That's what I thought

I'll post the fix later! Just can't wait for paint shop to open!

I quite like it

(Probably good to mention my colour blindness at this point)

Perhaps it will dry darker

Longstride · May 4, 2018

I can confirm this morning, it did not

it's just as hideous as yesterday!

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.
(Except your neighbours)

haha, well that went well then

okay i'll keep my eyes on this, it's a lovely landy.

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

Longstride · May 4, 2018

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 !

No need for sunglasses now

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.

I quite like the speckling, it makes it look like one of the matt vehicles.

Longstride · May 4, 2018

That'll do for the day. Painted bumpers and grill. If this colour doesn't suit I'll send her back again and go bronze green.

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