Thanks Bob. No matter how you cut it, it's going to get a lot harder and more expensive to find the right paint...IF you can find the right paint at all.
Now that I'm in a griping mood, I'll mention It's getting equally hard to find linoleum for vehicle floors and table tops, slot headed screws, 9:00x 16 tires, the right weight and shade of canvas, shops that have any idea how to turn drums and reline brake shoes or parts counter staff that will give you the time of day if your vehicle can't be found in their computer system, which odds are it can't.

....or old Foggies......
There is a USA based company that occasionally advertises in the Military magazine and they now have a full array of flat paint, historically accurate shades, in a water based paint / acrylic...... but can't seem to put my hand on a copy that has the advertising. Not sure of the final results and durability or ease of surface preparation but they claim museum quality. Will keep looking. Cheers

These are the guys I use for the old stuff.

![]() ![]() So that said....I do have a wee bit of experience in the paint game. Now, I will attempt to see what I can come up with for the "Matt Man" and the infamous "Terracotta Warrior" of the outer reaches of the planet "Hammond Barn". The one thing that all should pay heed to was the advise given to the Hammond Barn Wizard by the CTC Soldier was: "bring your wife in to select what shade of Terracotta....SHE REALLY WANTS! The best advice ever! Saved many a marriage! And as far as water based products going over oil based products, they have remedied that with waterborne enamels and water/oil based paint bases. And like any project to be painted ...some sanding HAS to be done. Be it decks or vehicles. Sorry Bob! AND on top of that now....I'll see if I can get you wholesale prices, although not CTC. ![]() PS: Now speaking of paint.....I still have just over 4500 spray cans/rattle cans of paint to sell. 3 for 10 bucks plus shipping. You can check Craig's List Vancouver and type in 'Spray Paint Cans" and check out the entry of "Spray Paint Blowout" to see whats in stock. Cheers ....Robert ![]() |

Here in the States Martin -Senor sells pint cans of flattening agent. This is added to their gloss automotive paints. You have to do trial and error though to get the amount right.
We used this on the Humber A/C a few years ago. We didn't want dead flat. A very slight gloss to make a good water seal. http://www.martinsenour-autopaint.com/products/ |

This is the McDonald and White SCC2 paint. It's labeled as an industrial enamel. But the label with the paint code says it's acrylic enamel. It is dead flat, dries quickly and covers well. It does need a good primer under it otherwise water will wick through it.

Yup I stocked up a number of years ago with KG#3 and SCC2.
I'm wondering if we would be able to convince the people who make the jeep colours to make some Cnd colours?
