Just asking for some advice!!

I'm torn on what colour to paint my defender

I'm thinking grey but not sure which shade!

Also which paint is best for brush/roller techniques? Just easier to redo after a season of laning/offroading

Cheers all!

Bonatti Grey (Tomb Raider) is that a OEM colour?

Blue or green or grey or red or orange or pink or silver. That's my advice.

Tractor paint goes on thick and gives a durable finish, and you can get it in BLUE

I have 5 litres of blue tractol paint, its easy to apply.

That blue is wacky Landowner lol! My old car was Bold yellow and haven't seen many bright yellow defenders!!

Just not sure whether to keep it an original colour or go with something different

Got any photo's of the finish mate? Matte/gloss?

I used to have a bright yellow defender. Fkin horrible it was and everywhere I went I could see people mouthing "there's that t**t in that yellow Land Rover!" My current one was red, then it was yellow, and now it's the only proper colour that any Landy should be, GREEN.

Lol my old drifter used to get some looks with being bright yellow! Funny though

G4 orange looks well on Defenders..

Scrivv · Sep 16, 2014

That orange looks sweet! Found this a couple weeks back and it made me think about orange

Yeah I will do, hopefully it'll look awesome when I've finished

I would go black or orange if I was going to paint my defender. As it stands I'm not allowed!

There's one like that lives near me.. I wonder.. :scratching_chin:

Would look well without the tread plate up the side and the Jeep style spare wheel mount..

Just finished repainting mine in the original off-white colour with county stripes. I used sparex paint which goes on well with a foam roller.
