If you haven't had your paint mixed yet try 383. Thats the stuff the military actually uses, sherwin williams CARC 383 to be precise.

 

[Boggin]

thank you very much ill try that color

 

[CHKNFKR]

I suppose its worth mentioning carc stands for chemical agent resistant coating. The key word there is coating, its not actually a paint. Its changed since the last time i used it but to my knowledge its still a solid suspended in liquid (i think water now days) the liquid is only there to make application easier. If you spray it use a cheap gun, its very abrasive and will tear up your gun.

 

[Boggin]

thanks man. i think i am going to get some acrylic and spray it without any clear coat or anything, the paint will be full of scratches and scrapes so i am not going to be too particular about it

 

[CHKNFKR]

Okay so the stuff i am thinking of is still a 2 part mix, its still rather involved. If 383 doesnt get you anywhere try ppg code N1433A, thats an actual paint, its used touch up damaged carc. Its about as flat as flat can get

 

[Boggin]

sweet, flat is good lol. thanks man i gotta check with one of my buddys tomorrow at the paint shop he works at so ill give him these numbers then. thanks again bud

 

[CHKNFKR]

No prob man! I'm full of all kinds of useless information, i figure i might as well share some of it

 

[Boggin]

haha it will all be useful at some point right

 

[CHKNFKR]

Thats what i keep telling myself

 

[Boggin]

Lol yeah so how is your project coming along

 

[CHKNFKR]

It hasnt been for quite some time. The new job should help get the ball rolling again, i hope.

 

[Boggin]

cool. did you get the axles under it yet?

 

[CHKNFKR]

Nope, they're still in pieces. Gotta get new skids on them, then drop about $1500+ into bearings, seals, shims, etc... Then i gotta sort out brakes. My list is about 4 miles long right now
