It is military enamel paint which I used a roller to apply. It is not finished yet; some parts need another coat, but it takes a while to harden.

there is sometimes a 2 pack lac over it. but not if a non matalic, you can use a single pack etch to get a good bite.

Hiding the numbe plate behind the ladder is a good way to avoid ANPR.

My sons got exactly the same paint job planned for his Vivaro. I do like a nice shine personally.

They are recovery boards, you put them under the wheel to get out of trouble.
