SubscriberI'm almost afraid to ask but nevertheless...
What's involved in repainting a Defender 130.
Say from white to a darker colour (red, for the sake of argument).
It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

If you can do it yourself, about $500 in consumables and lots of labour.
If you pay someone to do it properly, at least $4k.
Why not use this as a chance to buy a compressor and some painting gear, read and practice, then DIY when ready.

How about some rose coloured glasses?

SubscriberHH said to smear the windows and anything else you don't want paint to stick to with Vaseline and buy some cheap enamel paint and a $35.00 gun from super cheap
Or get a professional to do it for around $5,000.00..he is prepared to do it in 2012
Oh and why Red, you know it is the most expensive automotive paint

Depends if you want a show car finish or not? If you want high gloss? If your panels are nice and straight? Darker colours show up imperfections more.
Quite a reasonable job can be done in your own garage, with a fair bit of elbow grease. Orbital sander makes life easier. Make sure temperatures when spraying are ideal.
It really is pretty easy, just time consuming. That is the same for working on cars in general tho, and of course at the end of the job you can sit back and admire your work (and say I'm never doing that again) haha

SubscriberNot Red. I was just using that as an example - I mean a DARKER colour than white. I just wanted to distinguish it from renewing the original paint (eg white on white) so dont worry im not about to devalue your red 130 !
