Paint

Even the military seemed to change it's specs. At one point, the government of Canada tossed the CGSB paint codes. I was looking up the obsolete olive drab paint the other day and noticed the Cdn army had then jumped over to a US paint chip specification for it, while still referring to the obsolete Cdn colour as well.

Robert I am in Castlegar, the west kooteneys. I will email the paint shop in the u.k. again and see if they would do that . They didn't seem too interested before. I can't believe for a color used on commonwealth military equipment it is so hard to get a code for .

Started looking on the Internet while waiting for a reply from the two companies that offer kg3 and decided to buy some model paint and follow mike starmers mix for kg3 and for scc2 , so i mixed up the 2 colors using his formula. Hard to tell whats right with having nothing to compare it to ......then I remebered that I had a ww2 canadian helmet given to me years ago , after searching through my kids room I found it . I pulled the liner out of it because the paint on the inside is in really nice condition and it's almost a exact match for scc2 that I mixed up , does that sound right ? Anyway iam going to take it to a body shop and have them shoot it to see if I can get a paint code for the color it is .
