0 TheAmericanPatriot Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I dont know the exact color that it is so im kinda in the same boat as you, but i do know that Rust-Oleum has a camoflage paint line and one of the Flat Non-Reflective Greens is close to the green that is on my Sultan and ive been using it to touch up and for just an off the shelf thing it matches pretty close. Like you though im still waiting to figure out the exact color code so i can give my Sultan a real paintover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ruxy Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 The paint from abt. 1979/80 was NATO Green IRR (infra red reflective) BS285 , it came in spraying & brushing The earlier paint from at least late 1960's was :- H1/8010-99-224-5482 PAINT WAR EQUIPMENT MATT-SPRAYING OLIVE DRAB, BSC 298 I have a can - by the Walpamur Co. - I assume it came in brushing also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sirhc Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 BS381C shade 285. If you can’t get this in the US take a small part off and get the paint matched to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was nearer 81 for us. Much ado getting a good, clean finish and sanding smooth the flaked old paint. I got the feeling the IRR green was darker than the old stuff.
