P-59A Posted February 17, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 17, 2020 Not sure what to say about it. 1st) It looks like a lid was never worn on it as the paint shows no indication of rubs or scrapes. 2nd) the National colors are of the post war type. Beyond that...I can't wait to read what others say. Link to post Share on other sites

Nickman983 Posted February 17, 2020 Share #10 Posted February 17, 2020 A shame that they decided to use such a nice liner Link to post Share on other sites
robinb Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share #11 Posted February 17, 2020 Well that's stupid. Thanks for the ID guys. Link to post Share on other sites
gap Posted February 19, 2020 Share #12 Posted February 19, 2020 Id strip it and repaint. Testors olive drab spray paint is a great match. You will likely need 2 cans as it comes in 3 ounce cans. Link to post Share on other sites
BILL THE PATCH Posted February 19, 2020 Share #13 Posted February 19, 2020 It might come off easy without to much damage, worth a try. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
CommanderBounds Posted February 20, 2020 Share #14 Posted February 20, 2020 Try something light like alcohol or goo gone instead of a full blown paint stripper. I'd Try and preserve as much of the original paint as possible Link to post Share on other sites
sgtdorango Posted February 20, 2020 Share #15 Posted February 20, 2020 Chances are they might have used a acrylic or weaker hobby paint and hopefully it will come off easier??....mike Always looking for and buying 50's era 11th Airborne/ 187th ARCT/ 82nd Airborne tac mark painted jump helmets!
