Light Green Paint, Olive Drab Paint, etc

[Wayne Hingley]

Since the bulk of these posts are up to 5 years ago, I would like to know if the "new/modern" paints have performed better than the original paints used by the CF over the years? The CF vehicles seemed to fade out to almost a chalky finish after a very short time in the weather.

What has been your experience with new paints?

It seems like a lot of effort and waste to go through all the work to get colors and camo patterns correct, and then have the paint deteriorate quickly when you go outside.

For that reason, I'm on the fence about what paint/color(s) to use on my M38A1. I would appreciate advice from anyone who has recent experience with these colours.

Thanks, Wayne
