Why not paint the rack black as well?

Wouldn't work....Tis galvanised and you need a special primer....I did this once on some bars on my old Trooper, but with chucking tools and things up there, it soon peeled off and became tatty...The rack is boarded out on the landy and thats got a black coat on it...
Cheers for the thought though....

Acid etch primer..?

Better still you can (could) get some plastic coating stuff that when you heat the metal with a flame, the plastic would then melt from the powder into a solid plastic coating. No idea what it's called but I remember using iton my GCSE CDT course.

Think I will leave it be mate....Tis at the end of the day, an old landy...

It may be an old landy but its the effort and that little bit extra that the owners put in that means about 75% of all of them made are still working

Hammerite do a special metals primer. Its good stuff, used it on my window brackets that had to be stripped back. Know what you mean though it would be a lot of work.

Yeah, it was the hammerite I used on the trooper, didn't last long....Still have the pot here somewhere..Its the inside of the landy I really need to finish now. It still looks like this....

Dip coating, and I still teach it.

Galvanised is tougher.

Green - no comment.

Good job, I especially like the super excessive hinges on the cupboard door.

Sadly the limerover failed its last MOT and I cannot afford to get the work done to keep her on the road. She served me well over the years and I will miss her. If anyone on here is interested, I have put her up on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Landrover-110...39:1|66:4|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14 She needs a new chassis or a fair bit of welding done..

:sadwavey:

Yeah go for the full ninja look and paint the roof and wheels black.

V Nice and you'll never lose it no matter how hard you try


Now where's my paintbrush.......

 

[JonnyP]

V Nice and you'll never lose it no matter how hard you try

Yes I will, I am trying to sell it..... Check my last post...

 

[alpha_centaur]

Shame that

 

[JonnyP]

Shame that

It is a shame, I am gonna miss it.. It was very easy to spot in a carpark or at any of the big events where you have to park in a field with hundreds of other cars..

 

[Rhoda]

I like it, it's a great colour, shame I can't afford it!
