Hangar 53 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I've done a quick search of the forum, in case the question has been answered, and even though it probably has, I cannot find it. In short, I have a 67 Reo whistler, painted currently in what I would guess, is period olive drab. It's nothing like our UK OD, and has a tinge of brown to it. I would imagine that it is correct for the vietnam period, but a google search doesn't lead to any UK based suppliers. Could someone be so kind as to tell me what it actually is called, and who would most likely supply it? Kind regards, Si Edited October 22, 2015 by Hangar 53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosrec Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 our painter has said this to me before Simply take of a panel or something like and take it to a commercial paint supplier and they will match it for you mixing up small or large quantities at reasonable rates tell them its for a commercial vehicle .

cosrec Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Reason I say for commercial is there are all sorts of rules and regs relating to cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWade Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Just bare in mind if you go to get a match take a panel thats not had the sunlight on it, I use a local company to me and they are very good. I had some matched the other day and it was spot on. If you have a problem PM me and I may be able to help. Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana and Jackie Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 If you speak to TA Paints they will send you some samples to get a near match. I've found their paint (enamel) to be excellent, it sprays without thinning. I have 5 litres of another make, which shall remain nameless and is horrible to use, no matter how much thinning I do.
