Shutler1 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Evening all, so i am in the middle of converting my defender to a truck cab, the body is white already but the truck cab is green, i have primered all the bits to be painted obv the cab its self will be white, but..... Here comes the big decision. do i do the roof black or do i do it white to match the rest of the landy. What are peoples thoughts. All welcome. Or a different colour entirely. Just the roof though. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shutler1 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Well i went for a black roof in the end, altho i didnt buy enough paint so itll stay unfinished untill the shops are open again. Oh well. Seems to be going well so far though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studmuffin Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 At some point soon I need to paint the roof on my 90 SW. The body is Caledonian Blue and the roof is Chawton whiteish. (The standard blue body/ white roof). I have no idea why but I am thinking Caledonian blue body with ( for want of a better description) a light custardy yellow coloured roof. Its different. Its individual. Its maybe a bridge too far?? Thoughts?? Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolboy_vet Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 always worth a go at trying new things, only one way your going to find out if it works or not. I Have got a few ideas for my defender but not sure on how they are going to look, i have tried photo-shopping to get an idea but its never a definitive answer Ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shutler1 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Yeah ill post them when its all done. Mine was chawton white. Only problem was hey dont have the paint in the shelf and it was £15 a can for halfords to mix it. A 300ml can doesnt go as far as you would think. Did the roof in landrover java black. As they had it on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shutler1 Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Next time i think i will spray it with the compressor and a spray gun. Its been a pain in the arse doing it with rattle cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Barry, you'll look like the coastguard ? Mo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studmuffin Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Mo,I never twigged it but that was obviously what was going through this old head. My grandson collects all the Coastguard models. So - that's out! What about Caledonian Blue body with a Orangey/Tangerine roof?? Its different- its individual- and you old farts will know its me as I pass you from the opposite direction!! The good bit is the V5 just says colour Blue so it matters not one jot. Cheers Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
