I Painted my Land Rover at Home!!! My Land Rover Series III Restored to its Original Colour! 

Cracking job 👍 👍

Fantastic video

Very interesting and helpful video. I'm thinking about painting my 88" project. How much paint did you use? Sorry for asking what has perhaps been asked already! I would like to buy enough all at the same time. It's a great looking job!!

The landy looks awesome - its prompted me to do the same. Any chance of a further video explaining paint mixing, adding solvent, how thick to apply the coating (brush / foam roller) etc. All info would be appreciated ATB Dave

Good job , I’m working on my 80 in this year 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🙋🏼‍♂️

Superb job! A tip to prevent the spare wheel filling with water is to drill 2 small holes 180° apart. These won't affect strength at all and will let water drain out and prevent wheel rusting.

If you have ‘flat’ glass in the wing mirrors, replace it with convex glass. In the days of wing mirrors, I always had convex glass. Virtually removes the blind spot and makes reverse parking a doddle

Where did you get the paint from? Am based in Belfast and have accidentally started painting the odd panel on my series 3. Matt black and white, the PO painted it with a roller and a pot of emulsion, looks terrible.

If the paint is in good condition, but one wanted to paint it a different tone but similar color,, could someone simply add coats of paint instead of priming then painting?

Can you also tell me the paint code and is your finish gloss or satin? Not sure how they left factory finish wise but from my paper work it’s showing satin !!

If you know of any good working fairy overdrive units or the romerdrive units about please give me a shout. Thanks

Brilliant job. Paint job looks the business. Say what you will, I’ve seen a couple of pretty decent brushed paint jobs. Ignore all the purists and keyboard mechanics. It’s your Landie and you did a proper job of it anyroad.

Gooday Mate With my resto I've borrowed a Frank Sinatra song.I DID IT MY WAY. After all your the one who has to live with it. Your landy looks MAGNIFICENT. Brave move borrowing the misses hairdryer.DIPSTICK would be proud of you. Happy travels. CHEERS PHIL.

I’m very impressed with this job. I bought my first Land Rover yesterday, an 87 defender that has a 4 inch lift and mud terrains. It was originally blue but now badly painted white. I want to return it to original but at a sensible pace/cost. This video has inspired me to do the same with mine. I wanted less of a project but at €2k I couldn’t pass it by. Thank you for this video. John.

You’ve done a fabulous job. You might see the rougher bits because you’ve examined every square inch but to everyone else it looks absolutely brilliant. Well done to you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Enjoyable video, ignore the purists and rivet counters, it's your Landy and you enjoy it!.

Looks amazing I’m really impressed but you didn’t explain how you painted it, the technique and the paint and brushes etc, beautiful land rover though well done

Looks Great! Can you tell me the name of the colour and paint?

Looking good. I just watched Your video about engine options. Did You change the engine?

Great job, looks sweet. The later series 3 had the mirrors on the doors but they had the round steel bar as a support unlike the defender type. I’m unsure about early series 3’s. If you look at original series brochures you will see what I mean. All the same it’s a grand Land Rover 🙂👍

Excellent work!!! Congratulations!!! Could you tell me what brand of primer and paint you used on the aluminum sheets? And for the metallic colored trims?

Brilliant job, nice touch with the two tone seats 👌👌

I have to say you've made a great job of that and quite rightly I hope your chuff with it.. I don't suppose you know if the paint colour RAL 1015 is the white/cream colour that is used on the roof panel on 1970-80s Land Rovers. I have a Defender 300tdi and I think I bought the wrong colour and went for the older colour, but I kind of like the look of it now. I'm not a purist either lol....Also how easy or tricky was it paint the panels you couldn't take of the car? and do you think painting with a light colour help to hide and brush strokes or dents etc etc... I have been quite inspired by you video and I would like to try to paint the roof over the winter and if that works well I may have ago at the rest of the car. Thank you for taking the time to do the clip.

That vehicle is a credit to you, looking very smart in two colour finish. Both inside and out. Galvanised work also enhances your Land Rover. I painted an old Hillman Avenger some years back in my garage with a brush using quality marine paint in the Summer. When finished it all looked good apart from the drivers side back wing where a large moth had decided to land permanently. Apart from that panel area after removing the said offender the vehicle looked much better and brush strokes were almost absent due to the marine grade finish. 👍

A nice warm or hot area screened off with a sheet and or a gazebo, wipe each panel down with acetone prior to painting and whilst you paint is warming up in a bucket surrounded by hot water. Thin the paint by 10%, put the paint in a hot water bath and use the very best fine hair paint brush you can afford to buy. Ordinary bristles leave lines. Nice job done and I like the new galv!

How come your number plate is in the right?

You done a Superb Job on That Land Rover Painting Beige White from Black On a Diesel 109 Series 3 Car

looks a really good job. well done and you done it your self.

Nice job! I'd love to see the technique used for this and the quality of the brushes. Cheers mate.

Fantastic job in the painting . We need to do this on our recently bought 109 1984 .

Fantastic- Pleace provide color code and the type of paint you use

Well Done.May I ask ,where did you get the seats upholstered?

Excellent work, my brother. It looks superb.
