ps. being an Army brat I love the colour
And that will be NATO green as requested in the original post will it?Quote:

Ok the bonnet, front panel, and a wing (guard) have had the first colour added to the primer (it's nothing like british army drab olive-but then i am a new Australian so Australian drab olive green will suffice) protec indicate knocking it back 25% and apply a thin layer allow to dry and then knock it back with m3 scotchbrites and give two medium heavy coats.
Any one up for the bulkhead extravaganza tomorrow to see what it's like ...will be just as interesting to me lol
P.s. how do i remove the footwell from the old bulkhead as i need them on the new one are they welded ?
Mix in talc to get rid of the gloss we used to mix in talc or fullers earth to remove the shine. that was before health & safety idiots got involved now we cant even paint the trucks they have to be sent away.
onya Andy that is gratefully recieved i'll be nicking the talc off the missus then

(Both Protec supplied paints, Protec supplies premixed paints in the camo colours to ADF Holdworthy and Moorebank.)

The NATO green stands out like a sore thumb against our Australian landscape. Probably why the ADF doesn't use NATO green or Deep Bronze Green.
Sadly as per classic Perth-ism i reckon the guys at Protec just couldn't be arsed to sort out what was and what was not NATO drab olive green consequently it's Australian drab olive green, which is more appropriate due to the fact i am a proud member of the club.Quote:
