May need to find / make a visor too. Was thinking of painting the body with some red a white patches then all black. Then paint the whole car green then the roof black again then sand it back to wear it down. Then i presume some kind of matt clear coat ? Think it will look good as it has 10 x 6 wellers the roof rack with spare tyre ontop also thinking of a cargo net maybe. Black arches. It sounds mean too. Think ill do that as it doesnt have to be totally a1 prep for a shiny finish.

Well tonight i made a telescopic screen to keep most of the dust off then attended the small patches of filler then da'd the whole car again then hoovered all all the mess up. Then panel wiped it all down and masked it off ready for primer tomorrow as it was getting late. So a fresh hit on painting her tomorrow. Also my new gun for top coats.

Thanks that what i though but will look evwn better in the nato green. :) as i have limited space when spraying pushed the car out last night and opened the doors fully back and painted the doors and frame by the hinges with nato green in a can just to help out when applying final finish.

20170322_205901.jpg looks shiny shiny as it was still wet the final product looks good once it dries back matt
