Full Car Respray: Land Rover Defender 110

C.P.R.S (Complete Paint Repair Solutions) in Grimsby recently undertook a comprehensive restoration project involving a classic Land Rover Defender 110. The vehicle was brought to our facility by a customer seeking a complete overhaul. While the original orange exterior was functional, the owner wanted to modernise the vehicle’s appearance and give it a more rugged, refined presence on the road.

Full Car Respray: From Orange to Iconic Green

The Land Rover Defender 110 is an iconic design, but years of exposure left the exterior looking dated. The primary requirement was a full exterior colour change from the existing orange bodywork to a deep, classic green.

To complement the new primary colour, the project included detailed black accents:

• The bonnet and roof
• Exterior trims and wheel arches
• The wheels themselves

In addition to the paintwork, the project included the installation of several exterior extras to enhance the Defender’s utility and appearance.

The Respray Process: Precision and Protection

At C.P.R.S Grimsby, our full car body respray process is carried out with detailed preparation in a controlled environment.

Surface Preparation

Panels were thoroughly inspected and dents repaired where necessary to create a strong foundation for the paint to bond to. The vehicle was then fully masked to ensure clean lines between the green body and black accents.

Painting & Finishing

The respray was completed in a controlled booth, with multiple coats of paint followed by a protective lacquer for maximum depth and durability.

Hardware Upgrades

Beyond the paint, we integrated several functional extras:

• Roof Bars: Adding utility and a more aggressive silhouette.
• Auxiliary Lighting: High-intensity spot lamps were mounted to the front brush guard to improve off-road visibility.
• Raised Air Intake (Snorkel): Reinforcing the Defender’s iconic off-road heritage.

Final Quality Control

Comprehensive checks were performed to ensure every detail met the high standards C.P.R.S Grimsby is known for.

The Final Result: A Bold, Refined Classic

The completed Land Rover Defender 110 now boasts a striking, classic appearance. The deep green bodywork, complemented by the black roof, bonnet, and wheels, provides a strong contrast that honours the Defender’s heritage while feeling entirely modern.

With the addition of the roof bars, custom lighting, and snorkel, the vehicle has been transformed from a standard vehicle into a premium, go-anywhere machine. This project highlights the impact a professional full car body respray can have when combined with expert restoration work.
