This may well be the answer, in darker colours a sheen change often give a massive visual change of appearance. No longer Barlow- have a look at this link full of fantastic stuff. http://www.alcvehicles.com/index.php TED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornishbloke Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 As far as I know the new paint is a 2 pack system that forms the protective base coat much as deep bronze green did. The "camoflage" colours are overpainted, but can be removed, probably with a steam cleaner, leaving the green in place. Don't know the spec re IRR but it seems darker than the BS colour I am using on the Scorp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
