Age Old Topic Paint- Enamel V Acrilic V Two Pack

[Tony Smith]

Mike Kelly siad " BTW those water based exterior house paints in low sheen make a ideal disruptive camo paint for camo schemes , hand applied with a brush , just like they did it in WW2 ."

Race down to your local hardware store. In the Dulux exterior house colours chart, they list under the heritage colours a favourite colour of ours, Portland Stone (Bsc 64). Unfortunately, because it is a standard colour, they don't provide a colour chip for you to use to colour match auto enamel.
Also, Mike Cecil at the AWM let slip that they use INTERIOR water based paint on their display restorations because they will remain inside on display, and as conservators of historic artefacts, water based acrylic is an easily removed topcoat that allows preservation of the original finish underneath for future generations.
