Hello.

I'm looking to get hold of 10 litres of matte, military vehicle paint - in grey.

This is relatively easy on the eBay etc...

HOWEVER!

I want to also buy, at the same time, a couple of 400ml (or similar) aerosols with the EXACT SAME COLOUR in it, so that I can do some associated bits and pieces.

It seems easy to find people selling one or the other but I'm struggling to find a supplier that can do both versions of the same paint for me.

Anyone got any pointers?

PERFECT, thank you... Erm... I'm not surprised I didn't find it with such an obscure name as that!

These guys make the paint we us for our defence components. Horrible stuff to use. Really really horrible to use. Cannot stress enough how much I hate spraying this stuff.

That said, its very good and Def Spec. You will pay a fortune for it too.

You will also hate using it, I wouldn't buy it.

don't bother buying aerosols if your painting over 1m2

you get bugger all coverage and they're twice the price

I'm getting both.

Roller for the wide expanses and aerosol for the fiddly details.
