EasyRed1944 Posted March 31, 2009 Share #28 Posted March 31, 2009 You're confusing me now....! The red bars - are you saying that they're not really red paint, but used to be gas detection paint that has turned red because of the rust-proofer you've put on? Cheers, Glen. Glen , The mentioned red bars are a reaction on the gas paint getting mixed up with the protection liquid. The gas paint was originally yellow , but when Steven put his protection liquid over the paint , it made a chemical reaction , so the yellow bar reacted and turned red , this is the same way like when it gets in touch with gas.

Blake_E Posted March 31, 2009 Share #29 Posted March 31, 2009 Is that a hint at how caustic/corrosive/carcinogenic/harmful modern day spray paints are? It reacts the same way as poisonous gas hehe If you can read this, thank a teacher, and, since it's in English, thank a soldier. - Anonymous Dedicated to the hard core.

Gilles F. Posted April 14, 2009 Share #36 Posted April 14, 2009 Nice finds! During my internship at one of the competence centres of the Belgian army, I met a guy who had found a Colt M1911 in the Ardennes (Bastogne area). Interesting detail: it was loaded and ready to fire! I love the mystery behind such items, they always make me wonder what happened to the owner ... "Let's get the hell outta here!" Link to post Share on other sites
