Like everyone else, the clear coat on my hood was peeling badly. Got tired of looking at it back i the fall. Hit the hood with 200 and 400 on an orbital. Took it down all the way through the clear and most of the paint. Left a little paint and base primer. Hit it with a couple spray cans of etching primer. Then two coats ( spray rattle cans ) of LF factory Epsom Green Metallic single stage. Three good coats ( spray rattle cans ) of factory clearcoat.
600 grit hand wet sanded, 1000 grit hand wet sanded, 1500 liquid cut compound on a circular buffer, light polish compound and turtle wax on an orbital. Added a new "Land Rover"script.
Came out pretty darn good for a half dozen spray cans in the garage, and an afternoon buffing in the yard. Finally getting around to posting the pictures.
Super nice! I am thinking of going similar route soon... but I am thinking of not putting the lettering back, as it always screwed up my detailing work. Thoughts?
Looks good. My hood and roof were starting to look ratty. I thoroughly scuffed the clear coat and applied rattle can Spray Max 2k Clear Glamour over top. Great finish and durable. 2k is the the way to go... the urethanes contain isocyanates which are pretty bad to inhale but they are very durable.
My roof needs some work. I have been thinking of taking a page from the Series/Defender and Land Cruiser and going with a White roof over the Alveston Red.
Looks good!
My bonnet paint job is AFU! I was seriously considering swapping out my crappy black bonnet for a red, G4 orange or gray D2 bonnet from a salvage yard.
Looks super awesome, gulfstream. You did a great job. The paint on my hood is disappearing because some "Cyclists" threw acid bombs on my rover, along with other SUV's in the hood. Wish I had your skills right now.
