Military Vehicle Paint - - Matt - NATO Green - 5 Litre

Product Information

Another option is Raptor paint, if you’re looking for something seriously tough! Here’s the information on Raptor. We are a family owned and managed business that has been manufacturing military vehicle paints and other paint types since 1894. The paint I use is military grade (all colours and finishes), thus it is very durable and has corrosion inhibitor built into it. Ever wondered why military vehicles don’t seem to have rust?

Northern England (this matters as temperature, humidity, insects, seasonality etc all contribute to a good finish) Upon completing the initial sanding/keying of the paint present on the van it was time for body repairs, these consisted of fibreglassing areas where rust was too severe to simply treat. In these instances i cut out/ground out the rust, cleaned up the surrounding areas, treated with rust treatment and then fibreglassed both sides of the affected panel, where possible. And my fave panel, rollered then swept with a quality brush, 1 decent coat of rustoleum and this was the finish!Spray application. All of our Enamels will need to be diluted by around 5-10% using Paintman Coach Enamel Thinners, thus ensuring the highest quality finish and maintaining correct drying times. This was inspired by the roller painting links above, as well as having a white 'builders van' and not much money after spending too much on a van that barely works. This meant a pro paint job was no longer on the cards. We also supply Chassis Paint, Etch Primer, Tyre Paint, Clansman Radio Paint, Engine Paint, Primers, WW1 and WW2 Helmet Paint, Water Leak & Roof Repair Paint etc. Primer & Undercoat. We recommend using the closest colour primer& undercoat to your top coat. For RAF Blue Grey Gloss use dark grey primer and blue undercoat.

I should mention that i am going to have to do yet more sanding as my first attempts are imperfect, and i also used heavy grit sandpaper to sand some stubborn areas, this was too co for the paint and marks are showing through - note to self avoid anything more co than 100grit for body prep! Unfortunately i did not get any photos of this process as it required quite a bit of time and effort so i had to focus my attention on that.

A Range Of Different Options

The excellent functional properties of military vehicle paint come as a distinctive feature of niche products, providing the best protection of metal coatings from moisture, chemical, and physical factors, as well as from scratches and other mechanical damage. Increased wear resistance, improved adhesion, and long-lasting colour retention are also requirements for specialised topcoats, limiting paint materials' choice. Paints4Trade provides a superior selection of military vehicle paints for sale. We offer an extensive online catalogue that contains the best products for proper repair. Main Features of Paint for Military Vehicles High performance coating offering the best in weather resistance and durability. Product must be sprayed using spray equipment. For sanding i ddi this by hand to ensure i didn't remove too much, i used 60 grit here however found it scored the surface too much for paint to go on evenly. I would advise removing excess filler with 60grit and the once flush with the surface, finish with 120-180grit ready for painting. Our military paint, primers and top coatings offer fantastic wear and tear resistance, as well as a high resistance to corrosion and weathering.

Tomorrow i am refilling a couple of small areas (i shall document these), washing the van down, putting her in the gazebo and then roller-priming where necessary.The paint is Rustoleum and it's a delight to apply. Make sure it's thinned to the consistency of evaporated milk and try and leave it overnight so that all bubbles evaporate. The rollers need to be gloss rollers and it's best to have a number of these to hand.
