Military Vehicle Paint - - Matt - NATO Green - 5 Litre

Product Information

I have decided that i will document the bodywork section of my build for the purposes of assiting others and providing what will hopefully be an interesting thread. Finish without any other sanding etc, (excuse the raindrops, the paint was touch dry by this time so water on surface was okay) Sander (I bought B and Q's Mac Allister Random Orbital Sander just this morning and find it is brilliant on the large sheets of bodywork we have on T4's) Finally, i washed the van using soap and water, before rinsing very thoroughly. For the soap i used fairy liquid as it has no waxy additives which could make painting difficult, and it is very good at cutting through grease and capturing particulates. I did ensure this was very thoroughly rinsed due to the salts included which i did not want to remain on the van under the paint. Before painting, i let the van dry and wiped down panels that were to be painted with white spirit.

Don't add too mcuh else youll just have to sand it off again - a mm or two proud of the surface is my preference: We at TA Paints understand military paint needs to be hard-wearing, as military equipment is pushed to the limits.

The paint is Rustoleum and it's a delight to apply. Make sure it's thinned to the consistency of evaporated milk and try and leave it overnight so that all bubbles evaporate. The rollers need to be gloss rollers and it's best to have a number of these to hand. I also found my sliding door to be full of filler, which i started grinding out, however upon realising what it was and having removed the rust that lead me to it in the first place i have left it as is and will refill when i get to that stage.Now a word of warning, you can paint synthetic on top of celulose but NOT celulose on top of synthetic, so if you prang your van any touch up or repaint must be in synthetic paint Our latest Def Stan 80-225 system fulfils these needs while also answering important concerns about chrome usage.

As with all these things, the key is in the preparation - if you take your time to make sure you've sanded the existing paint work well to provide a key, and treated any rust, the results can be fabulous. To get the perfect finish I'd recommend having a dry roller to hand and very lightly going over the paint to press out any tiny bubbles. I've also found that the thinner the paint, the better the finish, although of course you'll need a few more coats. Nato Green LRC553 is a traditional single part Synthetic Coach Enamel paint. It was used by the Army, RAF, Royal Navy and MOD sometimes overpainting NATO Green Gloss. This is the earlier paint shade used on Defenders but not the Wolf variants.
