Cdn 3-colour paint schemes

[Darrell Zinck]

Hi Rob

Not really an NPF thing but more a Base Task using DHH grant monies. I have to adhere to the Financial Administration Act protocols since it's still Crown money.

Fortunately I have Vendor Reps here in my Army Job I deal with and buy under the FAA with them a lot, so I'm very familiar with it all.

The issue is finding a supplier. Gillespie is a no go since I cannot expect to be able to cross the border with 1000 Gallons of paint that may not meet our Customs requirements.

Therefore I met with the regional rep for Rust-oleum Canada today and they are pretty sure they can provide my needs. I gave them a list of FS colours I'll need for x15 vehicles and they will let me know in very short order if they can produce the colours I need in their product.

If this gels up and I get what I need, I'll provide their numbers to the Forum as an FYI.

For now, based on past experiences in Pet, Glidden Paints has the following paint codes that correspond to FS codes:

FS34077 (Olive Green)=7733 Dark Hunter Green
FS36515 (Grey)=7786 Smokey Grey)
FS30108 (Brown)=7775 (Leather Brown) or 214085 (Flat Brown)
FS33446 (Stone)=7771 (sand) or 7755 (Light Olive)

regards
Darrell
