Thread: Painting finish

hi All,

I have just removed the old S1 windscreen and rubber which needs replacing. Below the windscreen (above firewall) i have scrapped and wire brushed to a clean surface then painted 'end rust or stop rust' paint but seems to still be not smoothly finished. before applying paint should i paint with primer or paint more then i coat of finish paint to smooth out the roughness. does it need primer or can i get away with a nice finish with couple of coats of paint. and where do i get the rubber replacement for the bottom of windscreen or should i try for a cheaper alternative from clark rubber. cheers

The windscreen rubber that is attached to the fire wall are very hard to get here in Australia for both 80" and later series 1 Landys. Best bet is to go to DUNSFOLD DLRSPARE PARTS or John Craddock Ltd - Specialists in Land Rover Parts and Spares
