If you can find your paint code which should be on the ID plate on the fire wall, take it to somewhere like Autobarn and they can mix it up and put it into a spray pack can

It will not be 2 pak like your car and you will need to put clear over it aswell.

Recently a nasty wheelie bin attacked my RVM. I got another one from Darrin, its silver and I want to paint it dark green.

Where do you get a spray can of Stagea colours? Any Ideas?

Hugh, I'm prettty sure mine and yours are the same colour (dark green - "Sherwood Green Pearl") - the paint code is DR-2.

Actually Hugh, Lots of good autopaint shops have the facility to be able to put any paint they make up into a spray can. Just check around your area. Find a really good guy who'll not only use the formula but also be able to eye match the colour. The pearls do have a different base usually but a good painter will give you the drum on the best way to match it. Don't go down to the 16 yo shop assistant and expect them to able to do it. (maybe some could). As you know age defintely gives you more experience!! Or at least it SHOULD!!

Cheers John

Well I'm the 66yo, so I should know. Will be trying it out this week end, but only on the RVM. If the match is AOK, I'll repaint the rear bar I got from Rob.

Hey Hugh

Did you find any rust under the mirror?

When I removed mine to give them to you, I found a nice big hole under the left mirror, but it could not be seen when the mirror was fitted.

Yep. Not a lot though. The rust was not in/on the door skin, but seems confined to the pressed metal mirror mounting plate. Which seems to only have a single electrostatic coat of black paint.

Treated it with some Wattyl Killrust. Now I know how to get to it I will do the drivers side.

Getting the trim off was like ateenagers first. You know how to do it but it is a lot of fiddling about to get it in, err OFF.

Don't s'pose you would like to share the procedure? I would like to do some preventative maint/explorative myself & would be interested in the "howto" before I go ahead & stuff something up. Old age & cunning & all that..........pre-treated mirror backing plate sounds good.

Cheers GW :P

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
