Your Mini looks absolutely brilliant, not seen a NATO green Mini before - is it proper NATO spec paint or just satin green? How much of a pain in the arse was it to paint up if it is the proper stuff?

Cracking day,

Came to see your car cooperman, very nice.

Thanks Andy.
I guess I was away somewhere buying bits & pieces when you came around. Sorry we didn't get to meet.
What a great show - the best i've been to for a long time.
However, 60 miles each way on dual carriageways is a long haul for such a low geared car as mine with straight cut gears and drops at 5000 rpm for 70 mph in top. Still can't hear properly!

thanks, im not sure if its the real stuff or made from the same paint (RAL) code. it was really easy to use, just rollered and brushed it on!

Thanks for that - was it really thick? if so it was probably the genuine stuff :-)

Are there more pictures etc of your mini on your website - rather than hijack this topic any further :-)

[Burt79]

the paint wasnt very think, just like normal household stuff really. there are a few more pics on cambscustomclassics.com
