    My bad I’m trying to get my head round it all, all these different types of paint are confusing :confused: So if I go to my sprayers and ask them to order or mix me some urethane based paint in my chosen colour with the bs code they’ll know what I mean?

    I’m going to be doing it in the cattle shed so no wind or rain etc., however it will still be bloody cold in there. Reckon that could affect it much?

    I’ve no idea to be honest, I don’t know a lot about it all. I might head down to my local sprayers and ask them about it. The U-Pol chap told me to use a “solvent based paint dye” to tint it with

    Great, cheers mate! It says solvent based and mentions 2k so that’s standard 2pack (I think). I’ll pick up a couple of litres and just give it a go, I can always respray over it if it goes badly :D

    I’ve already got myself some timetable raptor and was hoping to spray it in the cattle shed this weekend, but I’ll check out Buzzweld. Speaking of Buzzweld, have you used any of their LizardSkin range? Since my disco has been off the road I have stripped out all of the carpets and I’m just...

I've got a general idea on how to use it (key up surface, prime bare metal, 2 coats an hour apart), but I don't know...

    Hello Guys

    Thanks mate, looking forward to making some new landy mates. Do you guys have a section for meeting up and off roading together? I'm not super experienced but would be good to go out with some pros when she's finally ready

    That's exactly what the chap I bought my second donor vehicle off said :D Here's a couple of pics so far. The blue one is my original disco; the white is the one I am using for its body (the boot floor and sills are rotten on the original); and I have another that I have used for the chassis...

    Hello Guys

    Evening all, finally created an account here so thought I'd introduce myself as I no doubt will be asking you guys for some advice over the next few weeks. I'm from the Worcestershire/Gloucestershire border, just on the outskirts of the Cotswolds so plenty of good laning around here. I'm...
