In this video I attempt to revive the paint on this 2002 Land Rover Discovery Series 2. Is British paint known to be ridiculously soft? Absolutely. That made this job particular difficult to figure out how to finish. This truck had previously been used at a hunt camp and suffered I number of permanent defects. However I did my best to correct this paint and make the vehicle look as acceptable as possible. I think it came out pretty good. I hope you all enjoy the video. Lots of BMW content coming up. Had to get past a few random projects to give myself the time. Hyped!

Going to be the nicest looking whip stuck on the side of the road🤣
Haha every vehicle has people that think it sucks. I think people suck
@@ChromaticGarage 😂🤣
Mines done 181,000 miles and is 21 years old, still runs drives reliably every day. The cars are so simple to maintain and keep in good order neglect and negligence is often the root cause for failure of all vehicles. The motors in the D2 were the final version of a late 1950s GM design and being all aluminum were quite light weight, even being one of the first production turbocharged motors. They are simple to work on the electronics aren’t the greatest as they age but still simple. The big issue is LR then owned by BMW decided to push the aging engine design and thus ran a hot thermostat in them that really was not great for the head gaskets, coupled with a coolant temp gauge that only moved when it was nearing overheating cause a lot of head gasket problems. But still head gaskets on these older motors aren’t that big of an order, certainly nothing compared to a modern motor.
@@ChromaticGarage but you like me I hope
@@brycewooton2829 dude it was a joke
just recently sold my 2003 discovery for 30k, reason probably being there arent many of these not beat or offroaded, mine always was paint corrected and ceramic coated and avoided rain but i sure do miss it
That’s incredible man! This one is basically totalled haha. I’d love to have a super solid one in my life at someooint
I still have an 01 I bought new with 97k on the clock. Always been garage kept and still in great condition. I refuse to let go of it even though my wife wishes I would get rid of it.
@@lndrvrusmine has 168 k black SE 01 model. Paint is a bit neglected. Been thinking about Raptor lining it. I did the whole roof with it.
Beautiful work as always. When you hit 100,000 subs, are you going to show us
all of your shoes, you promised.
Thank you Geoff! Haha man I’m trying to live simpler! I straight up only have a few pairs of shoes at the moment
As allways Great work bro!!! That’s the highest level of detailing and cinematography!!!
Thank you brother!! Hope you’re eating well this week 🖤🙏
Always had the weirdest soft spot for these haha they’re just so incredible when handling an over lander type of off-roading. Obviously the newer ones are far superior with the tech being so far ahead, but still an impressive truck for the capability while being a luxury suv. Unique in a shit load of ways, and looks like nothing else on the road. Only ever worked on and Polished one, and that bitch has ALOT of surface area to cover 😂
Can’t wait to get my hands on a Rupes one of these days
Keep killin it dude 🙌🏽 and stay awesome
I agree man! I don’t think most people are aware of the suspension capabilities of these! Could bridge the Hudson with length if the radius arms 😎
Bs
Consider a zentool instead of a Rupes. Had them both (LHR 21 MKIII & 21E2), and sold the Rupes. I wanted to love it more than the Zentool, but couldn't. Rupes' are damn sexy though!
Nice job man! The clearcoat on my 03 disco has faded on the top bad, and what use to be the size of a penny turned into a watermelon on the hood within 3 years. Alveston red. Thought about having it repainted. Not sure if it's saveable. The paint looks good tho lol not like my black 94 corvette. You can see the scratches up close like the discovery in this video. Darker colors show more I guess
So much detail in these videos! Clean work👀🔥
Thank you friend!!🙏🙏
What your camera use?
Great content. I always learn something watching you work. Nice touch with the Bead Maker.
Thanks Raul! This paint is so soft the bead maker definitely helps with oil removal ✅
Sup chroma ! Advice me please, i hesitate between these polish:
- carpro ultracut
- Sonax ultimatecut
- jescar compound
- griots correcting
Thanks for all, take care !
Cheers
1:19 dope
TBH, I think the bear prints were cool. Since you can't get rid of them, I'd highlight them by painting them a different color. I have a Discovery 1 and to all the haters out there, kiss it. I have over 200k miles on it without any problems aside from normal maintenance. I recently polished the paint on mine and it made it look so much better. It was beginning to oxidize and now its back to its shiny self.
The Disco 1 was pretty solid if you kept the rust under control and replaced the head gaskets you can drive those for many miles. The Disco 2 had more issues, the frame was thinner(many cars in the snow belt had frames rust out) and they cheaped out in some places and the old Buick v8 machining and casting was at the end of it's life so especially the newest 4.6 V8's had some bigger issues than the common head gaskets. I had a disco it was a good car, I have the 3 now and it has been a great car, got a 5 to replace it and not so good went back to the 3. It seems to bridge the gap between modern but still old school where the 4 and 5 are just too technology focused which means more to break and electrical malfunctions will immobilize the car.
@@shaunbava1801 Mine being from CA, no rust issues. As for the heads, no problems with that, I've got the little 3.9 liter. I'll keep it forever.
@@shaunbava1801 Actually BMW bought all new tooling for casting the 4.0 and 4.6 when they owned LR. I own a D2 the biggest issue in the blocks themselves are tolerance related I.E. not enough room for coolant passages between cylinders 5 and 7. But the real problem was the thermostat being too warm for the motor causing the aluminum to expand too much and allowing sleeves to slip on some blocks. But everything else you said is spot on. This new tooling can be seen in the addition of extra block ribbing and new rear main and front main seal, cross bolted main bearings.
I’m watching this as my car is being detailed. Great video as always!
Bru, what a transformation. I love working on beat up black paint. You set the standard for everyone out there brother.
Hi! I really want to know what pads you use :) sre those Rupes Wool or MF pads? :)
Oh thats nice! , But that front left flare should be rotated 2 inches clockwise! way off lol
looks so nice. I wish i had the time/motivation to show mine some love like this.
Anytime you want a crack at mine you'd be up for a real challenge 😂
why can't you remove the bear paw prints marks ?
안녕
대한민국 모든 국민은 설날 연휴를
즐기고 있어.
오늘은 내 생일 ㅎㅎ 축하헤줘 가좃도 내 생일을 모르네 ㅋ 씁쓸하군
잘 보고갈께 😏
Great video, really relaxing to watch too. What was the last song?
How did u put the side femders back on?
Ah always good to see the husky cart back at it again 10/10
Well I hope you like cat prints!
One of the wheel arches is misaligned
Just spectacular editing and camera work. It’s a crime you don’t have at least 300K subs. Hoping to see an update on your S52 swap project soon!
Try laquer thinner on the stick er residue
Great vid! But the music is dope. What is it?
Your video just came along at the right time, I’ve just bought a Black Discovery just like that one with disgusting paint and interior. I’m looking forward to the challenge 😀
Can windows be polished?
An try wet sanding with 2000 grit and higher
Pauses Rolex 24 at Daytona, begins watching true cinematic excellence. Also the paws are kinda infuriating.
That Discovery turned out real good man! Btw could you post a link to the music from this video? You always find the best music for these types of videos 😃👌
Where is that chair from? I love it
Simply sublime. Any reason why it wasn't ceramic coated?
Thanks Matt! It’s about to sit outside for like 6 months so there wasn’t really a point haha
@@ChromaticGarage fair enough man. I've been wanting a Range Rover Classic recently and this fueled my desire tbh
I would say a ceramic definitly has a point then! Giving it the best protection possible to the elements and stops it from oxidizing. Just look at the latest Chicago Auto Pros ceramic comparison!
If I had one of these, which I wouldn't, I'd call it "Inferno". Or maybe "Duck".
Not seen your channel before, very interesting. What products are you using to buff the paint work?
That thing is crispy
with wet sanding the sticker glue maybe could be removed
Noice one my Boi 👌🏻🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
where did you get that swivel chair from bro? looks mad comfy
Nice job! And you always have some decent low-fi playing. Great video!
What are your speed-setting when you use the rupes woolpad? Great video!
love your videos such great work
Thank you David! I appreciate that!
Got one as my daily driver, love it to death. But the mpg is quite distasteful.
Amazing job bro!! Fire music as usual 🔥🔥🔥
Such a cool truck from every angle man! Lookin a whole lot better now!!
What a fantastic result! Great work 👌🏼
Thank you bro! Hope you’re killing it this week 🙏
Mr Chromatic blessing us with the free therapy sessions
I was hoping to see someone else get the enjoyment of polishing behind the spare tire carrier 🤣
My Java black disco is in dire need of this, thanks for the video
At least the feetses aren't too obvious. Just call them easter eggs
Did you apply Bead Maker over the Compound/Polish? As the Last Coat?
Yes. Also bead maker is a sealant.
great job like always, amazing finish
Looks like griots garage 🧐
Nice work but the wheel arch trim looks terrible 😕
Where is your detail shop located??
Those last shots as you went outside in the snow.....😎
What grit did you wet sand with?
🐾🐾🐾
Paint came out really good. Great job.
a whole movie 😍
What lights are those?
👍
Nice work! I’ve always wanted a Land Rover Discovery but have been afraid because of the reliability horror stories.
Get a good one, like mine, learned a lot and absolutely love it
At 18 plus years it is all about the previous owners
I've had my 03 disco for 7 years invested $15000 in it but I still refuse to let it go. Also owned a first gen 97 but was a money pit. They are definitely not reliable and horrible on gas but there is just something to them. Great off road and comfortable highway cruising along with its not common to see them on the streets, stands out for sure. It is a special vehicle just take care of it and it won't let you down...maybe. lol
Great work 🌟
Nice work
Dang, all that work to just spray it down with beadmaker :'( lol
maybe the owner used it just for off road. no need to coat. beadmaker is good enough. i use beadmaker too for my 4x4. but on my daily car i coated.
@@ims7568 Why wouldn't a ceramic coating work on an off-road going car?
@@y4nnickschmitt Same reason as not wearing Armani when working at a construction site
Hello sir, do you proceed by the preparation stage of the vehicle ie the pre-washing, washing, de-icing and ferrous decontamination before moving on to the polishing of the bodywork? 🤔
Duh.
Chromatic back at it , we fanatics of the fantastic , we know you going at it like addict, and we ecstatic cause we know it’s automatic, the music and work got me 😉vibing no disappointment here bro 👏🏽👍🏽💯 another job well done from the Chromatic Lab
My trucks paint looks like that but its a 2010 lol
First
3rd
Not to watch though! 😉
@@aliaskink 😄😄😄nice try since finished watching
We all know you lie now. It's been proven!
@@aliaskink 😄😄😄 nice try again😄😄😄
I noticed you switched from Meguiars microfiber pads to Rupes. See any real difference? Also were you really using Beadmaker to remove the polishing oils?
