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.

I thought about this but some bloke 500 yards away has one in Mat green

Army supplies place maybe?

My van is done in M.V (I guess, Military Vehicle) Nato Green matt finish paint.
Put on with a roller.
I bought the van like it.

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!

oi..im not mocki..(hes much better looking)..

i have done matt and can confirm that bird "pooh" is near impossible to shift if you don't clean it off whilst fresh. same with flies on the front.
when its time for a new coat will go satin...

Thanks all - Satin it is then - if Ican get some that is!
