Hi have a 1990, 110 which I would like to smarten up a bit by giving it a paint job in the spring/summer.
I have read various threads on here some have hand painted their Defender, some have used K2 instead of Cellulose paint. I'm not looking to do a showroom job but just smarten it up. I have several small dings from going through the forest and very narrow tracks where the sides get scratched from the bushes etc. I have some pitting on the drivers and rear door. I will probably just paint over those. Could anyone explain the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods. I have a compressor and all the spray painting equipment which someone left me. I don't mind stripping it down and removing all the things like wheel arches, rad remove lights etc ready for painting. I think while I'm at it I will have a go at the inside also. I was thinking of spraying the outside and probably hand paint the inside. Any suggestions that might point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
