mkVsten Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Can any one recommend a supplier in the UK for military vehicle paint? Prefer a vendor you have had good results with. Basically looking for bronze green and engine paint, may pick up Matt NATO green and black as well. I see Marcus Glenn is selling paint, has anyone used it? With what results? Cheers Edited June 21, 2010 by mkVsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrettkitt Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hi Brad, I think the paint is a standard Nato colour and as such they should be available to you to have mixed up at you're local paint supplier. Clive Elliott has written three good articles on the subject (covers markings as well). http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/PAINTINGpart1.pdf http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/PAINTINGpart2.pdf http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/PAINTINGpart3.pdf I have used Marcus Glenns Nato green paint and it requires a very good stir (the same as any paint) but if you don't stir long enough it dries eventually as a semi gloss. Which is annoying, you only do that once! I'll include the standard ebay item here as well (have not used plan to buy some). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120558949595&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1267wt_911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rambo1969 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Make friends with your local car paint supplier, I use brooks in harold hill, I use satin synthectic with excellent results. I painted my engine with ordinary car paint with brilliant results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
