Paint. (NATO/OTAN Green)

[chevpol]

Hi folks, looking for matching the  paint on my new toy, the P4, been told it is otan green. If so, what is the best source please?

If you don't find any ready-made paint (which might be just a little bit off anyway), maybe another option is to take off a small part and have the colour replicated?

As early MB says, the best option is to go for colour matching from a local supplier.  The alternative might be to have a look on French mil vehicle websites where the paint may be readily available.  The problem is 'NATO green' is too vague a term as it is different in just about every NATO country (and that's a lot).  The P4 will be in the French version of NATO green (hence OTAN) and won't be the same as British NATO green which is to BS381c 285.

You could try this dealer, who specialises in French Army post-war vehicles:

Now, the hiccup is that you may not be able to get the tins through the post? Being based in France, if you need help, just shout!

Thanks for your replies folks,  just heard off the chap who restored it, he used RAL 6017, so at least I have a code now!!
