Questions for Landrover D90 painting...

[jonathanm]

So far (after having waited several months over winter for the weather to come into spray primer territory) I've primed the body, doors, tailgate, and other main parts in plastic grey primer, given the flat areas a light 1200 grit wet 'n dry light sand to smooth off the texture of the spray paint a bit (not sure if it's just the paint I'm using or if it was the humidity / temperature, should have been fine for spraying).


My plan is to spray a medium blue (typical Landrover D90 farmer pickup colour here in the UK) with a white roof, I'll use gloss and probably do two coats, with a 1200 wet sand between.


Should I paint the black plastic parts? I thought yes, in a satin black, but I don't have a real D90 to hand to reference, only photos from the internet. In those photos, with a blue body colour, the seats and some of the interior appears to be a two-tone grey colour with dark/black floor, is this accurate? It's difficult to tell as the lighting looks to be from a sunny day. The RC4WD instructions don't really give much away when it comes to paint schemes!

Yes, I would do the black parts of the interior (as well as the fender flares) in satin black.
I own a 110 made in `87. This is what the seats did look like:

Hope this helps.
