Well its been hot and sunny here the last few days (sorry, not rubbing it in, remember when i was complaining about -28, swings and roundabouts) and its also a holiday week so have had time to get some bits and pieces done on the disco, yesterday was pushing 30+ degrees so thought i would have a crack at getting the old stickers off my Disco. They came away easily but left the old girl looking worse so thought i would splash some paint on her.this as was
and this was after an hour or two with a 4 inch roller and some mat/satin black straight to metal type paint
So today we were heading out as a family to do some bits and pieces and i picked up some more paint, thinners, couple more roller heads and a decent 60mm paint brush, which led to this
I brush painted the roof to get a decent finish and need to run the roller over the body one more time with some thinned down black this time just to get rid of the roller marks from the first coat, i didnt have any thinners yesterday so had to do with just straight up slightly thickened paint, not ideal but still a vast improvement i think.
the white roof is part practical, as i said its bloody warm here in the summer and part homage to Landies of old, i think it looks the dogs danglies as a contrast to the mat black body panels, even the wife is impressed. Cant wait to get the thing muddy now, just gotta fit a fresh UJ tomorrow and then its time to get it dirty again and looking like it should,it needs scratching
