Well started the painting process during the easter weekend past. And it went very well for a rookie! In the end I decided on a green from a 2004 Land Rover called 'Brooklands Green". Didnt want a british racing green so this green is much darker and changes a lot depending on the sunlight. I think the dark color suits the shape of the 48-50 even though not an original color. I bought Spies Hecker paint from Germany and is very happy with the quality and ease of application. I applied 4 coats to all panels - although I was advised that 2 will be enough cause of the good coverage of Spies HEcker. There is a bit of orange peel on some places, but I had NO runs! I still have to do the 4 doors. The one door has a bad dent so I have to attend to that first.
