CZ550Kevlar Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I have bought a Daihatsu terios to replace my Frontera but it is white, i`m organising a good set of mud tyres to go on it but i want it repainted in a camouflage color scheme, does anyone know of anyone in Kent preferably the Dover corner way that does camo spray jobs???

TaxiDriver Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Do it yourself ? Repaint the vehicle using a matt olive or nato Green, then when dry draw on the outline of random shapes and paint in with a Nato Black (matt black) for a typical Army DPM style ?? OR, are you looking for something much more complicated and probably expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 a while back I thought of having mine proffessionally done, got a quote from a mate of a mate in the buisness of just under a grand (£1000) as above, do it yourself, so far £26 for nato green paint, £4 for blackboard paint, hope to finish this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazle Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 For a 3D camo effect use Artex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I`m going with the DIY option and starting with NATO Green then if I feel adventurous putting some black on to break it up abit, the paint does 10 square meters per litre so a 2.5 litre can to do a terios will be plenty. However i have a big problem that only just sprung to mind, i have a driveway but no garage, how can i paint my car without getting insects and dust all over it? it takes 4 - 6 hours to touch dry and 24 hours to fully harden, any ideas???

SteveoM Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I got the stuff off eBay and it's touch dry in 10 mins and if you get dust or insects in it you can just flatten it once it has dried and you can't tell. I had it all planned. Got 5 ltrs off flea bay started to prep it, was gunna give it 3 coats and flatten each one off to achieve a perfect finish. Anyways my arm nearly fell off so I flicked off any loose or bubbly bits ( mines a :good:landy ) and slapped on one coat with a foam roller and a brush. It looks great and is so easy to touch up scratches. I only had a 1 inch brush and some areas are very tight to I thinned it down and took half a ltr to halfords who put it in an aerosol for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveoM Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Forgot to say Less then 1 ltr per coat ( landy 110) £8 per ltr from eBay Won't fully cure until summer sun has baked it Don't scrimp on the roller and brush Don't be tempted to buy the satin finish use Matt After light rub down use good quality solvent wipes to degrease and remove any dust especially around fuel filler cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Surely insects and dust add to the camo effect, or were you going to polish it when you are done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Good tips, i`ll go with the foam roller option as we have some laying around after the recent house repainting, dont mind a little bit of dust as the roller combined with Matt paint will mask most little bits of dust, it`s the big insects i`m worried about and knowing my luck a gust of wind covering it. however with the 10 minute touch dry stuff i stand half a chance.

mpk Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 It would seem Chrispti has started some kind of movement, maybe we could have a roller camo gallery. I may just by a 4x4 to do it. don't think it would work on an estate............ Or would it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
