ae70-82 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hey I was just wondering whats a decent paint to use. lll be painting onto aluminum panels ( landrover ) though painting over the top of old paint ( so no worries about it sticking ) and I aint all to worried about the quality as im just going to lazily brush it on , decided to got with Matt green . What sort of stuff should I be looking for/would you guys recommend ? Im not to bothered with the finish but at the same time I dont want it falling of at the first sign of a stray tree.

My name is Russell Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Sorry off topic/dono answer What model landrover is it etc? ... start a project thread landrovers are mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 mean that your working on the landy again boe, You may want more heavy duty stz but just go in and ask for an acrylic lacquer green of your choice and get them to flatten it out. It sticks well if you do good prep and 3-4 coats and you can wash it. There is better but thats the cheapest that gives good results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock-Lee Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 just spray it with really fast thinners and pull it away from the panel a bit more than you normally would. matt paint you will have. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
