reb78 201 Posted January 16 The 110 needs new doors and a bulkhead. I have all of the bits and will need to spray them before fitting. All fine there. However, the vehicle will look odd if I put newly sprayed doors on it unless I re-spray the rest of the bodywork. The trouble is, I like the look/patina of the 110 as it is - its old and used and it looks it and I like that! Neil has come up with the great suggestion that if I were to take detailed photos of the old doors before replacement, I could get the new ones wrapped so that they look like the ones they are replacing (just not rusty and falling apart!!) Can anyone recommend somewhere that might be able to do this for me in either South Hertfordshire or East Cornwall? I don't mind dropping the doors off a bit further afield for a good recommendation. Not sure where to start looking as a lot of the websites for companies that offer this are pretty rubbish so a recommendation would be good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkie 57 Posted January 16 Alternatively, could you get the new paint colour matched to the old faded colour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The doors are quite mottled/patchy Phil, so I think it would be tricky. Laquer is missing in places and not in others so some is fairly matt, some quite shiny. (I am not selling the look, but i just like it how it looks now!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkie 57 Posted January 16 I know what you mean. I too prefer that look on a Land Rover. Sorry, I don't have any recommendations for anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FridgeFreezer 737 Posted January 17 The rat-look crowd are masters of recreating the faded / rusty look, you can definitely get spray-on rust etc. and I'm sure I've seen vinyl sheets with a "rusty panel" effect on eBlag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ozzy50 19 Posted January 17 (edited) Not having a dig at the OP but fake patina is horrible , fake vinyl wrap patina is even worse . I would think a sympathetic respray of the doors and bulkhead would be much better , you could even flat them back to the desired fade ? Edited January 17 by Ozzy50 Spellchecker!

Ozzy50 19 Posted January 17 Just to add that I love the rat look , or an earned patina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muddy 45 Posted January 17 I have wrapped vans and getting wrap to match colours and paint to match wrap is very difficult. You also tend to get a gloss from the wrap texture in certain lights imho. As has been said I would colour match and paint, give the rest a gentle polish then go down some scratchy lanes etc. will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
