I've been spending a bit of time bringing my ex army SIII 109 up to spec (new tilt, Weber carb, new coil, clutch master and slave cylinders, brake master and slave cylinders, windscreen wiper motor and sundry other bits and pieces). She drives beautifully now (Well, relatively speaking) and I don't think I've got any other mechanical bits to focus on for the time being. So, paint. I want to repaint her, but want the right colours and to keep the existing (original) camouflage. First thing - where to get the correct NATO green and flat matt black? (I'd like to claim that I've looked all over the place for camouflage and just can't find any sign of it, but it doesn't look as funny when I write it down as it did when I said it to someone earlier...).

Following getting hold of it, I'm torn between removing all the bodywork, having the old paint blasted off and respraying, or doing what the army would have done and just painting over what's there with a brush. Option two seems more attractive because it'll be much cheaper and authentic looking, but I can't quite get away from the thought that I should be doing as thorough a job as possible. Anybody know how long it would take and what it would cost to have it properly (improperly?) stripped down and sprayed?
