So, she's all done just waiting for the paint to go off a bit more before I take the masks off so thought I'd pop these pics up. Photos courtesy of my Greenlaning pal Jim
Keyed the paint with a pan scourer Degreased with white spirit And the first paint goes on We were both a bit worried it was gonna look crap at first but we persevered and it just got better and better with each coat My mate's Fiesta in the background

So there you have it. An afternoon, 1.5l of military grade paint later and I have a NATO Green Vit with hands and arms to match Hopefully take her on a Greenlane tomorrow so will get some proper unmasked pics up soon

This is the second time I have seen a car painted with a roller! Needs a second coat. Don't forget about the wheels.

TBH I'd also persevere asap and do something about the blue interior but she is coming along nicely.

Doesn't matter what colour she is, her reg number is already in the PNC and the hawks have been unleashed
