The changing colours of landrover....

[JonnyP]

Honest opinions here please.....
My landy started off as a horrible brown colour, I hated it, so I painted it over with 2 coats of white undercoat, while I was deciding on what top colour to do it in.... I went for red in the end, but the muppet mixed me up the wrong colour and it was a lighter red than what I intended, I was often asked if it was a fire engine.... It soon settled down and looked good once worn in, but after a couple of years, it was peeling in places and looking a bit tatty, so, off to the paint shop and this time, for a change, I went for green, lime green, looked good on the card, but when I saw the paint, I nearly said no way, there and then....Thought I would try a bit on the car, so I did one side, but ended up doing the whole thing, now I am really not sure....Everyone down my road is stopping to stare and comment, shock being the most used word....I am wondering if it would look better if I painted the wheels and roof black, so its all green and black, or I may just leave it as is, or go over it with a darker green.....
Anyway, what do you think.......?

This is how is was originally...

This is how it was after being painted....

Errrrr, this is how it is now......

It's a Landy,not a posemobile,the colour is irrelevant.

Must admit I like the puke green though.

 

[janiepopps]

Yeah me too.

Surprisingly...!

Like the man says its a landy, colour is secondary.......
but as it stands it's not like you'll lose it in a car park

Cheers Tim

John,

BB says she knows a nice man who can re-spray it for you!

Sorry mate but thats "Fugly"

The interior is fantastic, the cars a dream, that colour though is a "before" shot for Nitromors

Red

I watched Daktari when I was a kid so I always wanted to paint zebra stripes on my old white 110.

It will put thieves off, wouldn't take long to find it if it was stolen!

But I do like it, don't know why

You don't think I should ask for the colour code then Red...I was thinking a Dynorod orange perhaps as a second choice?

Well you'll no' miss seeing it
Actually, I like it; it's a 'big mean green machine' kind of thing. You could always use that green as the basis for camo.

Cheers,
Toddy

You painted your Landy Kawasaki green?
I like yer style

Don't think I will be painting my Kawasaki Landy brown though

 

[dommyracer]

Awesome colour. Get some Burgundy trim on it!

 

[JonnyP]

Very interesting, most people like it.....( you don't have to drive it though...) What about if I paint the wheels and roof black, so its all green and black, rather than green, black and white, any thoughts on that....

 

[Butchd]

It's a shocking colour... but I like it too, lol.

 

[Buckshot]

"Interesting", thats a good and nice way of saying it......Cutting in by brush, rest by mini roller.....2nd coat tomorrow.......

It looks great. I have seen some electricity provider landies in similar colour.

Don't black the wheels and roof else it will look like a mint choc ice.

I think it looks good but being a landrover i would be more concerned about having AA cover for when it breaks down again and again and again.

Tell you what, its never let me down since I have had it, there is nothing to go wrong in it, its got a bomb proof engine, ok the gearbox whines, but it always has, its been a fantastic car for me, I still even have the same tyres on it from when I bought it, about 4 yrs ago....I mainly use it for work, towing a 2.7 ton trailer, I do have AA cover, but its only been used for my shogun, and don't get me started on that.....

This must be a deliberate plot to initiate a Land Rover vs land cruiser argument!

PS, I like the Aussie army utlity vehicles.
