Hi fellas

Rob, that's really good info on the name and FS numbers. I want to use a commercial water soluable exterior latex and have had good success with that in the past (Petawawa Centurion in FGH colours). I will have a boo for those manuals in Documentum as well. Not very likely there will be older vehicles in the newer copy but I'll check. If not, I'll need to find the actual older manual unless.....Dave?

Sorry, we called it CARF and not the obviously correct CARC!

Dave, that's awesome. I'll pm you my work address as this will be done for the G1 here.

Big help there guys and many thanks.

regards
Darrell

Darryl,

I was able to find a pdf of that pub mentioned earlier with the hand drawn cam patterns in the annexes. If you haven't found it already, i'll start digging around to see where I placed it. It had all the old stuff like the Lynx, 113s, 5/4 etc.

FWIW, I went with Gillespie 34087 for the OD on mine, and as Rob mentioned 383 Green for the Flat Green. I've heard of guys adding talc to the 383 CARC substitute from Gillespie to dull it down a bit. Not perfect, but certainly passable.

Darryl:

CARC=Chemically Applied Reactive Paint.

Usually to give foreknowledge and warning to body shop techs.

Chemical Agent Resistant Coating was the answer to the acronym in my circles. The secret killer agent in them is just plain old isocyanates, found in most automotive paints back in the day. We had to take a lot of precautions when spraying it, and just as many when stripping it. A lot of those precautions have been relieved now that they have the same paint in a water based formula.
