Default Zero Rust has been around in Canada for at least 6 years.

I have mixed Tremclad Yellow. Blue. Red and Flat black and came up with a reasonable OD used on M37...... wash the truck with gasoline and painted.... stuck very well and lasted years.

The problem comes with mixing two matching batches......Blue and Yellow will give you the green and red will turn it towards brown/green turd color....flat black will darken it.

I am sure you could work out a formula the same with Zero Rust using the same primary colors...... you have to make sure each color has been well mixed for similar color and solid mix. Flat black will darken and reduce gloss and so will using regular gasoline as a thinner ( use hi test with no ethyl alcohol)....makes it flatter but not dead flat. For real flat paint we use to buy "Suedene" from auto paint shops....expensive and not sure if it is still available.

Good luck with the witch's brew.

Bob
