UKPoacher Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 When I started to read this thread I thought I was going to see a right mess but suprised myself by thinking what a good job you made of it an what an improvement it is. Reminded me of one of those old Soviet era military trucks. I agree. At the moment though they are definitely less hairdresser and more Airsoft don't you think? Here's a Soviet jeep in a typical pose..... And here's the Norfolk boys out in their shooting truck...... And the ultimate lamping truck.....

chrispti Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) How did you do the windows please, did you literally just paint over them? Pretty much First I gave them a good clean/degrease, then sprayed them with some black primer from plasti-kote ( http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp%3Faction%3Ddetail%26fh_secondid%3D9254058%26fh_location%3D//catalog01/en_GB/categories%253C%257B9372013%257D/categories%253C%257B9372030%257D/categories%253C%257B9372123%257D/specificationsProductType%3Dspray_paints%26tmcampid%3D4%26tmad%3Dc%26ecamp%3Dcse_go%26CAWELAID%3D266948567&usg=AFQjCNHAuaSQAsVqlUqgUDfQN4z0zjdIqw&ei=m5m1Te6eBMu5-QaTzd23Cw&sa=title&ved=0CBsQgwgwADgA ) After that dried I just rollered over it with the green. Just an update on the paint job; its still on there, its very durable and hasnt faded at all Edited April 25, 2011 by chrispti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubby Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) well, not finished, as ended up with sunstroke, but nearly there, just a few bits outside to touch up, plus insides both doors and rear door, should get the black on around thursday/friday so far Ive only used just under half a tin of two and a half ltrs nato green which cost around £26 from that auction site, and most areas have had two coats, think I'll end up doing the rims black, and the roof rack, along with black bits like on the army motors/tanks etc, so far very impressed with how it looks, and the missus thinks so too, not so hairdresser now will also spray black inside the wheel arches Edited April 26, 2011 by stubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
