Robert

It is the olive colour from the late 60s, 70s, 80s, and kind of wound down in the 90s. There are still hints of it out there on some of the MLVWs, but it has drastically faded over the years. It is similar to the colour of the old combats back when they were new.

I would be interested in a few gallons myself, you think we could gather enough folks to make shipping a small crate or pallet out this way commercially viable Rob?

I'll arrange for some spare cans if all works out. You can likely pick it up during your border raid of barrels and artillery tractor.

I am the Western Border patrol. I am sure you have applied for the appropriate permits? I have been fooled before.

Permits appear to be made of funny plastic paper with faces of all manner of historic figures from the queen on up....I think you will find they are in order!

Default Set the record straight

Sorry Rob I can’t help you with the transport of the paint…but thought I should set the record straight on a couple “cross border posts” …For the record, The historical items were subject to the mandatory cross-border removal 120 day waiting/cooling down period, this was strictly adhered to. The official appeal process that was offered to the aggrieved locals went unchallenged. So as such… All required permits were issued by the authorized (westerly bound material/items) permit officer, on duty in Shilo (permit #7625683).

More photos of officer found here; http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...t=rick+debruyn
You will find the permit officer happily assisting with loading and removal.
