The Iltis all went through re-life in the early 90s,and most got fresh paint at that point in the cam pattern. By the end of that decade, the only paint available was the CARC, which could only be applied at second line. As a result, paint jobs were no longer being done (theoretically) by first line units. Very few vehicles made it to second line for cosmetic paintjobs (exceptions were for vehicles like the c/s 9), which is why it would usually be limited to vehicles coming back from overseas or on VMOs. It is also the reason why many of the cammed vehicles were touched up with any green that could be found in a spray bomb, or have the black extended to cover areas that needed touch up.
