This is my Audi he painted he's pretty good (excuse the mess we were moving workshops at the time)

So you are ditching the ragtop? It will look like a pig with a gold tooth otherwise.

Sorry Deejay I thought you were taking the Mickey in your post with the spray cans, I didn't know you meant just the colour. That's why I was laughing wasn't being a asshole...

I will be ditching auscam rag top and either making a single cab or having a colour matched soft-top made up, if I keep soft-top it will only be used when its needed, but probably learning towards single cab as the it would get hot under the sun all the time...

Yeah I like that one a lot spudboy, something different again it would look even better with some proper size tyres, some better rims and the military hardware taken off...

Land Rover's 'Libya Sand':

Whats that colour called?

Just make sure your brother researches the paint before stripping the car.
It cannot be sanded except under certain conditions:
1. in a proper sanding booth

2. the person doing the sanding is in full safety gear:
100% body coverage suit and
positive pressure, filtered air supply.

the dust is deadly and the toxic part can be absorbed through skin exposure as well as breathing. it even gets absorbed through your eyes!

The safest way to remove the paint is paint stripper.

When I purchased mine it was painted in cam black all over.It looked very intimidating.Where ever I stopped people were expecting 6 heavily armed men in black to jump out of the black.The optical effect of being all black made the vehicle look bigger than it is.

I understand the primer is some chromate nasty, but to re-topcoat can it be rubbed back?

Something bright would be good.
Mind you, it needs to be balanced.
