Exact same stuff. Roll on paint looks sodding awful, use that instead.

The LJ is the better tool for that and she's painted in plastic paint...like Plasticote but a cheaper version.

Hey, I am wanting to switch mine to a pickup. I'd like to use a rear door like you have and was wondering how much I should be paying for one? I've been quoted £100 which tickles me a touch steep.

Think mine was £25 and that included a load of other parts too. Ask in the wanted section, someone will be breaking a Vit.
