DAGGERMAN Posted September 23, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 23, 2015 We have a W.W.II British 2LB anti tank gun we are refinishing and looking for authentic looking Tan color. German WWII Africa Corps vehicle paint is close in color but so far i have only found it in a catalyst type paint product. Can anyone steer me who might we try for these paints. Looking for a gallon. Thank you Daggerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROBS Posted September 23, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 23, 2015 Is there a reason not to use a catalyst paint? Do you have an automotive paint/body store nearby? They should be able to mix any color in any finish you desire. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yp221 Posted September 23, 2015 Share #3 Posted September 23, 2015 http://www.rapcoparts.com/manuals.html I used this paint for some ammo cans and it came out great with a durable finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve B. Posted September 25, 2015 Share #5 Posted September 25, 2015 Rapco paint is highly thought of in the military vehicle restoration hobby. I have also used Aerovoe paint with no complaints. There is at least one more, but I don't recall the names. Go to the WWII jeep website at www.g503.com and look around. The owner of the site also sells original and repro jeep parts, and probably has paint. I think there is also a vendors section to look at.

oldabewla Posted September 25, 2015 Share #6 Posted September 25, 2015 That old lead base od paint was tougher than boiled owl crap. I used aircraft or marine stripper the good stuff on some of that old original od paint it doesn't bubble up like modern paint will. All that stripper does is soften it up and still needs to be scraped to remove the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
