paint time
ok i will bite the bullet and over the next few weeks finally paint my SJ, not going to try and colour match as its impossible, so going to go new colour all over, which begs the big question, what color should i paint it?! I had always envisioned that army green but that sj popped up the other day in that color, so thats out, what color has NOT been used, very generic question i know, but just after ideas i may not have though of!

Re: paint time
Yeah. That paint was cheaper and harder than hammerite too!

Re: paint time

Re: paint time
by properly you mean clean it, sand it, roll it?
