Looks awesome.

Did you just use matt black hammerite to do it? Been considering taking a roller to mine for a while

I used military vehicle paint off ebay about £25 for a 5litre can, will paint the van twice almost. Id advise thinning the paint down slightly tho, as mines showed up the roller marks in places, but my mates done his and its alot clearer when thinned.

The green looks well with the painted steelies

What you need now is a private plate.

Im sticking with the steelies think it looks smart, plus haven't got the problems that come with adding alloys.

I would like a private reg, thinking something that means something to me and the misses
