Default Pathe film painting vehicles ?

Some time back somebody posted a link to a wartime film . The film, possibly a PATHE movie, showed a vehicle painting workshop in Egypt ? British vehicles were shown being painted in the workshop.

I have searched for the link but no luck .

Default Ok

Ok thanks

After watching that film, I always think we are a tad too fussy with our restorations . Would the paint they are using, been sourced from the UK or a local Supplier in Cairo ?
