That looks great, mate. I'm toying with the idea of doing a similar thing in a year or two.

 

Few questions:

 

Do you have a link for the supply of the NATO paint?

Did you do any key work to the panels prior to painting?

Edit: I see you sanded it, but did you undercoat?

How easy were the windows to paint? Any sign of it not taking to the surface?

 

Cheers.

So what paint did you use in the end?

Just rubbed the whole car down with some 240 grit wet and dry sand paper, gave the car another good wash to get the paint dust off, no undercoat needed as the old paint does that job.

 

I used Plastikote matt black primer on the windows first, then the next day rolled over them :lol:

That looks much 'cooler'!

How much of that 5L tin did you get through and was it just the one top-coat.

 

I have put 2 coats on so far and I have 1/4 of a tin left :drinks:

 

I will put another coat on in a few days once the paint has dried /cured properly :yes:

Dont think I will lacquer it as I wanna keep the shine down :lol:

 

 

you could always use a Matt Laquer :drinks: would protect the Nato Green from chipping off somewhat as Im sure it will in time

I have had a quick look around the ''web'' and cant find anything on a matt finish lacquer for synthetic paints :oops:

 

I could just give it another coat every year :yes:
