I like this colour

[olbod]

Nato green.
Has anyone got a colour code for it ?
Be a bit harder to spot in the bush.
These fracking days you cant just stop anywhere for a cuppa or a bit of a rest. ****heads.
This is a well setup Disco. Hope the Bloke doesn't mind me borrowing his pic.
Before anyone starts going on about copying military camo colours, remember that Nature had it long before any military learnt how to mix anything with a stirring stick.
I am at the moment prepping Me Disco prior to re spraying it.

Mate, I hear you.

you find a nice spot to camp in the early arvo and some ***** spots you and pulls in so close you can't swing the cat you just shot, and if your really really lucky he wont start up a generator.

cant help with the paint code but a camo net works well.

my truck is white & staying that way as its a good 10deg cooler in the hot sun than our old red one

biohazard signs on the entrance to camp work well too

Go to your local hobby shop and get a little tin of Humbrol Nato Green, probably cost you around $3.50. Then you can get a batch made up to suit. Also a good source for duck egg blue for Series engine repainting.

Yeah, I was thinking its probably some Army green code. Like it myself.
Any good automotive paint shop should have a colour chart with something like that on it.

Lardy on here painted his 130 Australian Drab olive green from protec...
My fave colour!

[UncleHo]

Protec Paints in Brisbane make and sell from memory spray pack tins of "Camoflague" green,I think it is also available in larger quantities, there is an olive green colour in the Disco 1, maybe that could be mixed for you but with a flattening agent.

cheers

Nothing wrong with green, I quite like it. It's only when you mix it up with greys, sand & black, that I think it is a bit wannabe. [ unless of course it is part of a military vehicle club or similar. ] Check this out, Bob

Thanks all.
Yes, it looks like the BS381C is the code.
We have a couple of good paint shops here that I have purchased from in the past.
If one of them can match the code, bewdy, if not I think the Humbrol sample would be easy for them to duplicate.
Then to decide whether to get matt or saturn.
In my experience matt fades quickly and needs periodic attention. Saturn might be a bit reflective for a start but should dull down after awhile and gets an unwashed sort of look.
I wonder if there is such a thing as clear matt ?
All in duco of course.

Cheers.

olbod, you will find no matt or saturn off the shelf.
It's a mix you or the shop make by adding a dulling agent. The bloke at work did his skyline saturn and from memory it was reduced by more than 50% to achieve this.

I will find out and report back

[superquag]

"Saturn" is a little... out of this world...:o

Try 'satin'.

[newhue]

yeh yeh yeh, Ron's been gone for 5 minutes and we have a new language nazi. :p

Apparently it called a reducer not a dulling agent. The instructions are on the tin. By reducing your gloss paint 20% it will give you a nice SATIN. 50% as I thought, will give you flat.

[olbod]

Satin, by heck thats the one. I new that what I had written was wrong, I knew it wasn't Neptune but couldn't work it out and I dont remember being absent minded.
Just got interupted, the freakin nanocom thingy has arrived.
Looking at the package suggests a headache but I suppose I had better open it.

[superquag]

As long as you don't forget "why" you bought the Nanocom...
:p:p:p:p:p

How rediculous, of course it's available off the shelf!

Protec are the currently the Army Contractor to supply Camo paint, ands will sell to the public. The paint is no tricker to apply than Killrust! It is available in 400g aerosol cans, 1lt tins, 4lt and 20lt. Protec have branches all around Aust, but these are their Qld branches:

Part nos. for the paint is:
Green: 342-1166
Brown: 342-5265
Black: 342-7165

I'm not sure if Protec Camo colours are what olbod wanted. I would put Protec as matt and not a satin. If ever one desires any colour outside Camo then it's generally a gloss so it has to be reduced to the desired sheen. I'd say Protec has done that for you already.

[UncleHo]

The Protec green is semigloss,or semi lustre the same as what is on the current army land rovers,I have used it for some touch up on my military stuff,and when I get around to repainting my vehicle I will use it,as the full Vietnam Era "Lustreless Olive Drab" shows all and any hand marks and insect strikes,which is a "B" to remove.

cheers

[olbod]

For Gary.

Thanks All.
