Matt nato green

Post by morzov »

After various repairs my van is a patchwork of colours at the moment. I would like to paint it one colour - at least for this season. Don't have a lot of time available and thought Matt Nato Green would do the trick.

I've seen a few around and wondered what paint people used and how they applied it and where to get it from.

you used search facility ?
to answer a well asked post - DONT use matt paint - you will hate it ! it traps every bits of $hit/crap/oil/grease/dirt etc etc etc . unless you are a very bored/naughty squaddie dont touch it.
go for Satin - has the near dullness of matt but same ease of cleanliness/not looking $hit after 2 weeks as gloss does.
as rob says - fascinating finishes . properly mixed car paint.



and for millionth time - DONT USE IRR if you get some gratis from an MT!
