Paint job

[MartinN]

I am going to paint my Bedford MW. Should I respray it or can I paint it by brush.

[private mw]

always painted my vehicles with a small fine sponge roller does a good job !

small gloss roller here too( check out our Munga)

roller uses much less paint. when spraying a lot of paint lands up on the floor.

I too have started to think about the final method I will use to paint my MW. I suppose it really comes down to facilities and 'skill' available, and also what finish you/I/we are after. My truck is 1940, but I am pondering whether to finish it in later war guise, when it will have had a bit of use and possibly a repaint. But that raises the question, would it be a 'proffessional' respray at a base workshop or a quick brush job to change the colour and camo scheme?

 

Who can say?

 

The only person that needs to be happy with your/my/our respective trucks is you/me/us, so go with what you are happy with.:thumbsup:

Peoper undercoat and hard gloss finish for preservation, then slap on matt for that 'In service ' Look! :-D My WC54 have several repairs to the bodywork of the cut sheet and scre in type, but as they were probably done around 1952 at her rebuild, they stay! There part of the history.

I brushed mine ,and quite pleased with it, but if your going to use sticky stencils they don't apply very well in my experience
