Like the white roof and all green arches and black front grille, think that way will be easier for the Painter. Then again black arches look good too.
Couple of Black checker plate wing tops would set it off too. this ids my front grille
If it comes out looking like any of these two Im keeping it

I preferred the black roof as it matches the arches and sills. Without the arches and sills I thought there was too much green. I do really like the look of the Utility with a white roof, but see how mine looks when I change the sides over.

one thing that Ive just remembered , that was not done, not sure how to sort it, these bloody peep hole thingy's, . Cant just paint over them, was thinking maybe just cut a couple of squares and rivet them on or something, might put buyers off, although its not the end of the world. but my original plan in the future was to put windows in. Please excuse the daft dog.

Anyone know the Paint Code for land rover white roof ?

border · Mar 20, 2021

Ordered the Paint, Keswick Green and Ivory White for the roof. Mates gonna try and get it done next weekend so fingers crossed it will come back like a lovely shiny truck.
Another thing I never thought about was these wheels, there all I've got so Probably just paint them white too, cant afford or be faffed to go and look for alloys .

Would rather have them flattened and filled if I could, think if the paint job comes back looking very nice these would spoil it, Ben looking at some youtube vids, ive got some of that JB Weld so might have a go at this one.Using JB Weld to Fix Rust Holes? - Bing video

Hoping to get it in this week, changed the white to Limestone White LRC007, its the creamy colour, if you know what I mean , Not Bright white.
Still deciding whether to keep or sell . but got plenty of time yet .

Once it’s painted you will enjoy it more.
Cover it up, build the others then test ride the new build. You won’t feel the love.
Then sell the new build,you may get a better price selling a classic than something newer.
(Loving the build though.

Its known locally as the Beast, named by some of the local hooligans

but everyone calls it that now.
Hope it comes back a Beauty

Nearly there, haven't seen it in the flesh the painter sends pics, but looks good to me, just had 3 coats of high build primer, whatever that is

So tomorrow ready for coats of Kewsick Green and Limestone White.
Getting Exited now,

After it’s done, you won’t want to sell it.

I know Mate but it might be a case I may have to sell to fund my next Rebuild, but we will see.
Then again I could sell my new project but then Ill have nothing to do

He's just opened paint and mixed and we have this, doesn't look like Keswick Green which is what I ordered, to late to change now, suppose it will still look nice

In person it's not quite as grey as that one, still my favourite defender colour

border · Apr 8, 2021

Well just about done, think it is drying a bit lighter as kev said, but still not the Keswick Green I was expecting. , Pleased with the Limestone White on roof it sets the green off I think.
Looking good Though.
