Troddenmasses Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I'm in the process of building a Toylander series 1 (for my sons, honest) as they are the only type of Land Rover that I can afford at the moment. The time has come to paint it, and naturally it will be going Deep Bronze Green - the same as my Series 3 was. I'm a bit stuck for paint, though. I want to roller or brush it on - the boy will undoubtedly run it into a wall at some point and I want repairs to be quick and easy, so some sort of gloss paint would be great. Can anybody help me with paint suppliers? I rang Pete at Christian Autos in Bristol and he can't get it since the local paint company closed, and Paddocks don't seem to sell it any more according to their website. Any suggestions please?

Retroanaconda Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I got a pot of coach paint in that colour from Turners Trade Paints in Cannock. They did mail order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat2495 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I used sparex agricolour for mine, fine for rolling and brushing, a supplier shouldn't be too hard to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondjeremy Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 http://www.paddockspares.com/parts-and-accessories/land-rover-series-2-and-3/paint.html Its synthetic paint - brushes just like household paint and is soluble in white spirit.

soutie Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Try Mole valley farmers down in Bridgwater or Promain as they both do Teamac Tractor Enamel in green http://www.promain.co.uk/product/Teamac_Metalcote_Tractor_Enamel-id2000. The Bridgwater Mole Valley farmers also has LANDROVER MARINE BLUE in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanuki Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 My local farm shop does New-Holland "Q-coat" enamel in Land-Rover Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 ooooo. Good thread. I need to get some paint as i will need to weld in repair panels on the bulkhead at some point and my body cappings are horrible and rust coloured at the moment. I'd love something i could apply with the brush, but not so you would notice it too readily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troddenmasses Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thankyou very much for your replies - I contacted the company in Cannock and will pick some up next time i'm up there. Phillis - Deep Bronze Green is simply the 'correct' colour for series Land Rovers. Toylander coming along well. I primed the front end tonight, the rest will be done by the end of the weekend. Motor test fit next week, then hopefully back to painting next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 After making some repairs to my early 110 I was in the market for some brushable Trident Green. This colour seems not to be in the Spare paints range, but I ended up with coach enamel from Craftmaster paints. Ordered online and it arrived next day, well packaged. I've been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the paint and how well it covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
