    Painting Guide

    Wondered if anyone had a good guide that they could direct me to that showed the prep and painting of the RRC panels, or even just alloy panels.

    Just pondering if I should give it a quick go myself for the short term to get these flares off this car.

    Um.. yes.. I made the tragic mistake 9 years ago with the idea that I was going to fit diff locks and body lifts and all that Rock crawling stuff.. only to move to the NT where I worked most minutes of the day and barely drove it on dirt roads, nether lone off-Off-Road.

    I have since joined a couple of Range Rover Classic FB pages and are regretting the decision to fit the flares. It even felt wrong at the time. They just look so good..

    I have secured a few panels of the right era to replace the cut up panels, but they are green (beautiful colour!) and I would like to keep the vehicle it's natural white/cream colour. The panels are straight, but have a couple of small dents, scratches and blemishes. I would like to use the minimum of filler if possible.
