Remember aluminium and stainless steel do not play well together. You need to make sure they are not in direct contact.

@ScoutTheDefender

Glad the videos may help! I used a clear lacquer once the paint had dried. I’ve not polished it yet, but may do to get a great final finish

A few years ago i saw a pickup with a raptored bed and the raptor also wrapped over the capping's. Having tried several times to rub the capping's down and repaint I'm now considering this option. I dont think replacing the cappings with galvanised ones will be possible on mine without first removing the roll cage otherwise that is what I would do.

I have a Series 2a . With a separate starter switch, choke, and a separate electric fuel pump switch,( all unmarked) I would be surprised if someone could get it started quickly. Add the bouquet of levers sticking out of the floor and the uneducated would walk away. I suppose someone could haul it off on a trailer. A friend in the UK told me the only time he ever bought a new Land Rover ( he’s had many Land Rovers) it was a 2014 Defender. He had it 9 days and someone stole the bonnet and all doors. I read recently that even now, in the UK, a Defender is stolen every day. Here in the US, it’s the older Hondas and Ford F150s.

Looking good so far. I Raptor painted my 90 pickup in the end, in the same blue I think as yours, tinted to match the rest, as I didn't want to go to all the time and effort for only to be bothered about preventing new scratches.

may i ssuggest some products i sued to restore my gtr? duplicolor makes a great sandable prime and etching primet. i hgihly suggest you sue that as they also have wider spray patters to avoid tiger stripping. also for the the bed i suggest suing the raptor liner spray can. the texture is quality and durability is second to none and leaves a great sand finish.
