A friend of mine bought enamel off them. Was the wrong colour (ordered PRU blue, got RAF blue) and it was impossible to thin with anything. Gave up and sprayed it (landrover) with thinned garage door paint which went on lovely. Personally i'd beg borrow or steal a compressor, buy a cheap gun with a 2mm nozzle and get the paint from a local automotive paint supplier. We get all our paint from Car Paint Warehouse nowadays for military vehicle restoration. If you have a colour code, they can make it.

Ask for the data sheet and you'll be able to work out what can thin it.

That stuff is pretty good. I used it to roller my Multipla. I just bought the cheapest cellulose thinners I could find. You need to mix it quite a bit - think it was about a quarter to a third thinners. If it goes on too thin it will leave bubbles all over the surface and might run so it's important to get the right mix. Main thing is that with graffiti paint it's not as hard-wearing as this stuff - you'll get a better finish, but this stuff is hard as nails.

I think emmdee's was NATO. Olive drab should be a lot lighter. I've sprayed enough of it the finish on the multipla wasn't too bad. My mate must have just had rotten luck with them when he bought from them

ive used that paint, from that supplier, in land rover limestone flavour. it thinned fine with "standard thinners" (i.e cellulose) which you can buy in 5 litre tins from most decent motor factors (by that i mean not halfords)

My mate must have just had rotten luck with them when he bought from them Mine was Satin Bronze Green. That photo is very dark, but it looked lighter in the sun. There's another pic in my sig, it kinda changed colour depending on the light. Looks brown in some shots and green in others.
