Hey Exrally how many coats did you do per wheel. From what I can tell you left it without any pearlizer or glossifier. My color had three coats of gold and 2 coats of gloss. The color looks a bit faded on mine now. More of a light bronzing. Nice Defender

BoxsterSteve that was just a small section of the place. The whole centre was extremely large and they had a newer section with residents in it. The buildings we took pictures at were closed. We were told by the security not to take pictures of the residents or make our way into the buildings. So having residents made it a bit more creepy. There was also a playground with overgrown grass with what looked like a pre school


Here is one more pic.

Bmod:
I put 2 coats of black plasti-dip on first and then 3 coats of True Metallics Gold. I was actually trying for a darker shade (light to medium bronze). I think I should probably add a couple of coats of glossifier to make the brake dust easier to wipe off.
I'm glad you like the Defender, I import a few of them every year from the UK for customers, but alas the shoemaker has no shoes, so mine sits in the driveway still needing a little more work to be a usable daily driver.
