When I painted my first SJ I bought 6 large tins of Nato matt green (spray). With masking sanding the odd spot etc it took half a day and looked pretty amazing.

Yeah I can understand that if buying one that is standard or lightly modified.

Depends what you're looking for though, mines not exactly standard anymore :lol: it's built and designed to be used and abused offroad, covered in dents and is highly modified :mrgreen:

Yeah sometimes I get confused about off roaders and cars. Iv bought myself an off roader by the looks of things so I should probably worry more about how it drives and the condition of its drivetrain.

My mistake with the last one was going for a perfect body finish and then found myself gritting my teeth when the lanes became a bit narrow.

Found this in b&q might be a laugh to see an SJ painted in it

It's for outdoor wood, stone and metal and will be a tough finish

Had two mates buy sj's painted in that sh*t, i wouldn't advice it because it catches the dirt and is hard to clean and when you want to paint it again its nearly impossible to get off! i think it was the same stuff anyway...
