landyliam Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 i'm about to repaint the series 3 (oh i hate that blue) and i'm looking for something easy to put on (brush/roller) and preferably not too glossy. It's gonna be used a lot going through bushes, trees and the odd wall so i want something hard wearing. the expert in the shop suggests tractor enamel do you concur? [note: don't want a military paint - might get shot at!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkk2 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Why not use the sand coloured military paity like Dave G used on his series? easy to apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasterdly Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 hello, enamel is a tough paint, but it can chip easily, i painted my defender with sand army paint, and used enamel on the chequer plate bits and pieces, the army paint once its dryed properly, is very hard wearing. i used a furry roller to apply my paint, which has the added bonus of leaving the defender soft and fluffy, for those cold winter nights.... cheers...

Exmoor Beast Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Dulux! My 110 has had Celebration Red Gloss on it for the last 5 years, if its polished it still comes up nicely. Cheap to retouch if you need to, gloss is flexible enough to apply to wood so it stands to reason its good on bendy Land Rover bodywork. I painted the Mini in International Poppy Red garage door enamel last week and its horribly orange now Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landyliam Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 no, you're not listening i don't want mil colours or shiny stuff, just want to know which is the hardest wearing of the paints so i can bounce my wee landy off the the walls, i don't mind the odd dent or 3 but don't want big scrapes down the side showing that 'orrible blue so is it enamel and if so which type of enamel, i never know paint could be so confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
