Joe,
I'm halfway through painting my 109 by home spray painting. I did it by
getting a pre owned Campbell Hausfeld HVLP paint system on ebay for around a
hundred bucks(works ok even after my wife used it to paint the kitchen) and
used thinned rustoleum almond (makes a nice light sand color.) Did it over
several days in the driveway. I used a spray can of self etching primer to
cover any bare birmabright spots. Not show room quality, but it has come
out pretty nice. Probably would come out better with a real automotive paint
but rustoleum is easy to find and you can use the spray cans to cover any
future nicks.
Also the "Series Shed" website had some nice articles on painting rovers.
