Getting the Wheeling Fever
Lookin for some flat, army green, automotive/industrial quality paint to squirt onto my '82 p/u. Eventually it'll turn into a camo job but don't want to drive it around in primer for too long. Has anyone heard of any durable products that are easily available?

Army surplus carries some radar absorbant paint, i know a guy who used it on his jeep, works pretty good as paint too... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Any automotive paint store can get or mix it for you.

You are in canada so just go to crappy tire paint section to get spray can of krylon military flat paint @ $6cad/can. You have olive/khaki/black/ and maybe one more colour.

I use the olive drab krylon in a can .it is part of the camo kit scheme but I dont like camo , just old army green.mine looks ok just a little pricey 5-6 bucks a can.4 cans does most of the truck.touch up jobs are easey enough. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

I didn't go for the best of show....I just used the flat colors at Autozone. Took the pattern off some military pants I picked up while in the military. Used a black marker to draw out my patterns and filled it in. cost was about $40. The best part is I can always touch it up if I happen to scrap it up.
