Australian camo colours

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi Wayne - my two bobs worth is Khaki Green No. 3 and Light Stone. These are the two colours I use for this era. If interested I can send you paint swatches. I utilise a paint company called Protec Paints who prepare the paint in their laboratory from my samples.

Now isn't that funny! Protec Paints are the current suppliers to the ADF, and their Mil Enamel has some excellent properties. Scroll down and read the specs for oil proofness and weather resistance! Unfortunately, their Mil paint only comes in 5 shades; Green, Black, Tan, Pilbara red, and Desert Tan. Their "Tan" and "Desert Tan" are not quite right for BSC 61 Light Stone or BSC 64 Portland Stone, and I asked if they would colour match a batch if I provided a sample?
No, they wouldn't.
What, not at all?
Well yes, but for a minimum 2000 litres.

Maybe that was just for the Mil Spec 065/1 paint? Anybody willing to form a syndicate to order 2000lts of Khaki No3 and 2000lts of Light Stone?

Hi Tony - I have used the Adelaide outlet, address listed by you for nearly ten years. I have no trouble getting the paint or the exact colour I want and usually buy in 2x4ltr lots.

Bob, is that for their 342- series enamels?
