Hi Gina,

I second that!

Started the repaint of my truck about 6 weeks ago in the Florite KG3 and am happy with the results.

There were no problems overpainting the Wattyl and Croda OD alkyd enamel paints.

After too many paint issues over the years it is nice to have a regular supplier who can make a consistently accurate colours.

I got the wheels, mudguards, fuel tanks, and windscreens repainted before cold and rain halted play this autumn. It went a lot faster than the first time with not having to remove grease, mud, and rust first!

As can be seen in the photo there as a substantial difference in colour to the current ADF Olive Drab which is the colour paint I have been using from the beginning on the truck.

Many thanks again Gina for all your work on this subject and for pointing me in the right direction.

Cheers,
