    Gonna paint the white troll.

    Never really cared what my patrol looked like, tbh. It's white, it had stupid graphics up the side, which I half removed, it's 4.2EFI stickers have worn off (not sure why they're there, as it's an 88 model and runs a carby) and generally it's just a rough looking truck.

    Now it's taking more of a daily driver role, I'm starting to want it to look better.

    I've decided it's gonna go drab olive in the near future and eventually will get a camo job, and the covered in KBS coating matte diamond finish for protection. I think it will look ok as I have black tubular bars F&R, tubular sill savers, black roof rack, black wheels etc, I have a S2 grille ill spray black and fit up, and then ill fit my stainless snorkel with black elbows and a black head.

    Anyone seen a GQ in camo? I was gonna do desert cam but I think that's a bit much, I like the old style better, like you see on the 110 Landys and stuff like that.

    Anyone have any pics they can share?

    Yeah I don't mind that. I'd prefer a darker base colour but camo definitely looks good on box.

    Landfill. Lol. Love it.

    Oh, here's a list of why I haven't done it yet,

    1. Money.
    2. Lack of time.
    3. Lack of space.
    4. Money.
    5. Currently doing an engine conversion on my XB GS.
    6. Once that's completed, I have to do half a respray, re rego and sell a Soarer I ended up with.
    7. Money.
    8. Did I mention money?

    Thats his Tappatalk Sig line mate. SOme of the boys are inventive on how they sign off and their sig line on Tappa talk just to let you know that he is using the forum from that App. You will notice plenty of the guys are doing it.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    you could do a preview spray job with a few cans from Super Crap and drive it like that for 12 months while your Money sorts itself out. maybe cost you $50 to $100 on Paint.
