New Paint Job for 327

[Peter1971]

Hello There!

I'm booked in for a respray next week. I know it didnt look at all bad, but i do have a very particular eye for detail. No offence to any previous owners...

I have the side skirt decals courtesey of the shop and a rear hatch 'elf' decal. I have been looking for cill guards but cant find anything online. It wouls be nice to get the original decals for the rims as well.

Does anyone have contacts?

Anu experience of removing the cill protectors without ruining them?

And before anyone gets angry. Yes, I do realise that I will not get my money back. Its in great shape and good milage so for me it deserves a fresh coat of paint!

Great to see another Trophy having some tlc lavished on it Peter. I wouldn’t worry too much about other folk questioning your motives, it’s your car and your prerogative to do what you like with it.
Just out of interest, who are you getting to do the paint? Do you have a body shop you would recommend for this? I’m always interested, as I find it very difficult these days to find anyone capable of doing good paint which lasts. All too often I see (& have experienced) microblistering and sinkage after a few months.

Its actually going to Twenty Ten Engineering in Redditch, Worcs. They are a classic Range Rover specialist so are doing this as a favour for me. They are just finishing my 1994 Vogue SE, which is looking great, so I'm giving it to them.
They are replacing all of the glass with Pilkington as mine is pretty badly scratched. I'm told its the correct tint and all matching.
Ive uploaded a pic of the Rangey work in progress.
I stopped worrying about naysayers a long time ago...

This sounds like it's going to be Epic when it's finished Peter, so I'll look forward to your progress with this.

Have you also thought about ordering the stickers that go by the drivers door striker, I'd seen that there is a tread on here as to where you can order them if not already.

Great advice! Thanks

I love a classic range rover! Very nice. As photo_ ed says good paint shops are hard to come by these days, I have a series 2A land rover.
