Hi,
My original color had been burnt by the sun so I decided to renew it.
I was thinking of a regular car paint in my parking spot...
Anyway, someone told me there is kind of paint that is easier to spray and is very hard on the car, I found out that it was cheaper than a regular paint so I thought, why not...
I had to sand the car (Land Rover Discovery), remove the shellac and spray on the original paint, no primer needed besides places which I saw the bare metal (at least I hope so :) )
I used a 25L compressor, with 1.8mm spray gun, air pressure set to 28 PSI.
Initial dry takes an hour or so, final dry is about 10 days.
So far (4 months now, few trips) it seems to be durable.
Few small areas near the wheels where not sand very well and the color didn't stick there.
Bottom line, I'm happy...
Some pictures from the process and the final result:
Getting ready:

After the first spray:

Almost done:

Final Result:
14712
