I appreciate the patina it had when I bought her from you but now I want each scratch to be mine. She does look great now and runs like a top, each scratch and ding going forward will be a memory of mine. Thanks for pulling her together

What color did you paint your body capping?
I may be in a situation where I don't think I will be removing it, and since the po has already painted it, I am following suit...

If you can throw me another shot from the front I would like to see what a body color windscreen does for the look.

It actually looks like two jugs. But my bet is its 90wt

[rejeep]

i thought syrup was an alternitive for Ep90...
and cleans off he driveway better

Here's mine. It is (was?) Masai Red. Got a bit of, er, patina now. The interior shot shows the color a little truer to the original.

did they paint series rovers masai red? I thought for some reason that series trucks were only painted poppy red.

I think you could make Penecillin out of the patina on your truck.It looks like a rolling petre dish

Yes, Masai Red was actually available for quite a long time (Series III). There are a few sources online, but this one came up first: http://www.stephen.hull.btinternet.c...nmetallic.html

It lists Masai Red as being available from 1970-1985. Poppy Red was apparently a late-'50s to late-'60s color choice.

There were at least two formulations/versions of Masai Red, though. I'd asked in another thread for the "correct" Masai Red, as there are at least two official Land Rover color codes for Masai, and they're different. So, what color Masai Red actually is will depend on whatever the factory sprayed, which given the changing paint code must have changed at some point during the production run.

LOL! I know, right? Well, to be fair, these shots were the only ones I had at work, and they're from the day I brought her home (i.e., pulled her out of a field). She's cleaned up now, so there's only faded Masai Red, primer in places, and Birmabright in others, and none of the moss/slime/etc.

my rover is a 69 so I'm guessing poppy red would have been the color. I've attached a picture of the best looking paint on it, outside is faded.
