Paint

[Bob Carriere]

I have used 2 cans of the green OD sold by CTC on a M101 trailer to do touch up.... looked good when wet... did not cover very well... needed 2 and 3rd coat to hide properly the white paint markings from Crown Assets inventory numbers....... BUT... by the end of the Summer the paint faded... and is still fading to a light moss green.... trailer now looks like hell.... or pourly camouflaged......

May have been a bad lot but will not use it again

So far have made limited use of Aero spray cans with very good results.... sprayed directly over tacky POR 15.... good coverage.... good coloring...good flat matt finish..... and oddly enough a very good match to the various original green patches discovered during disassembly. Certainly very convenient for smaller parts ..... will be testing the gallon of Gillespie soon both with brush and spray.

I assume that all matt finish will mare with use as in real life army situations.... except for museum pieces that are not to be touched, I expect some shine to develop near fender's edges... door handle area.... gas tank cap... hood..etc... to me it makes it look real.

My 5 cents worth!!!
