Had these sprayed. The key is in the prep, but its much better than powdercoating.

Two fine looking Land Rovers
Wonder how much prep work it would take to get the wife to look that good. Probably need a panel beater on the team  1982 88" 2.25 diesel

You'll get a better gloss with the paint, as mentioned prep is important.
With the paint at least if you get damage you can re-spray. Be careful of runs though on an un-even surface, thin even coats would be best. |

I'd really like to get Boost Alloys done white. Can the tyre fitter fit the tyres without blemishing the paintwork?
Thanks for the comments and photos 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Was just checking out the photos on this thread and the wife happened to spot the above post. Damnit, looks as though my account on this site was "hacked" and the above post was placed by some cyper hacker. Must tell Martin to up the security on this site. Well that's what I told the Mrs anyway. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Yes tyres can be fitted without damaging the paint as long as it's a half-decent paint and not chocolate..
