NATO paint!!

(1/3) > >>

jamiesj:
Hi all,
Recently bought my first off roader a 1988 Suzuki Sj hard top completly unmodified, just looking at doing some little mods and just beefing it up a bit as it will be my road car aswell as my off roader any who, its blue at the minute and have had the notion of painting it with NATO paint nice and green ha ha ha never done anything like this before so any advice is welcomed pretty sure its going to be a hand job (steady on) and will be looking to do inside and out, has anyone done this before and does anyone have any close up pics of the finsih of a hand paint job
Cheers Jamie

Hand paint jobs can come out really quite well as long as you out in the time to prepare the surfaces, Earl, in the Avator is hand painted! Yes there are a few brush strokes but that's because the brush got a  little contamination from the corners. Matt paint is alot easier aswell becuase it's generally alot more forgiving. So the more you prep the better the finish will be  ;)

jamiesj:
What sort of prep should i do, ive read that the genuine NATO stuff doesnt need too much prep as it will stick to a non stick pan ha haha but i am a total noob to all this

MudRat:
done a series 2 with 2.5l. of paint, orbital sander to get a good key and a couple of gloss rollers and a brush for the corners, 2 coats jobs a good un.
