So, the last LR4 was a black Landmark, so I like the black thing.
It was only a matter of time before more and more parts turned to black on my US one.
So I spent hours googling expensive side vents, grille and wheel refurbishment.
Then i remembered the latest craze in Plastidip, it is even easier than I imagined to use.
So, I have trialled the colour and like lit, lets see how long it lasts.
I have 'glossified' the wheels and side vents, but I like the way the front grille matches the bumper insert at the moment and have left that matte.

By the way, I am on a temporary tag until my plateS get here. In Texas you are supposed to run a front plate but this 2011 has never had one fitted... lets see how long it is before I get pulled!
(Had T66MPL in the UK (ie not T66 MPL), ran it ok in Sheffield for 3 years, 1 week in Newcastle and I got a nasty letter from the plod)... fingers crossed

The pure low down grunt of the Diesel is missing.
...but the V8 is a fair bit quicker! probably too quick for the vehicle
(it still has some low down grunt: 375 ft. lbs)
Fuel is $3 a gallon so not bothered about that at the moment

The gloss is actually Plasti Dip 'Glossifier'.
(it is off the shelf here in Lowes)
