As stated by others, a foam gloss roller does the trick really well ....... and gets it on fast too. When I did my Lightweight I got a can of matt nato green from a firm that made it and was selling on ebay and it was decent stuff. I painted my GPW Jeep using the same method last year and got the light olive drab paint from Jeeparts and it was a good result.

Very nice motor.

I do like a good scramble about on and into the old concrete fortifications etc but i go with my lads or friends etc as it is not my wifes idea of a relaxing break. I also manage to wind her up no end with my Dads Army and Allo Allo box sets, but thats love for you!!

I am Andrew from Rossendale. I have a 1944 GPW which I have had for a few years. It went to Normandy in 04 and will be there again in 14 if not sooner. I get out and about in it when possible and like to get it off road and tackling the hills etc in low ratio. I used to have a Landrover Lightweight as well but when I moved house that had to go as sadly it wouldnt fit in the garage. One of the things I like doing is occasional euro road trips which have taken in the various delights of Normandy, Pas de Calais, Arnhem, Berlin, Colditz, the 3 dambusted dams, Nordhausen's V2 rocket tunnels, Bastogne, the Somme, and various other places of significance to explore and pay due respect etc to our heroes of our recent past.
