What did the military use to paint the k5's

 

this: Chemical Agent Resistant Coating

Called CARC (pronounced: k-ark) by those in the biz. it's nasty stuff and very bad for you (if painting with it)
it's awesome stuff and very good for you (if you are decontaminating a vehicle exposed to yuckies)

it looks wicked sweet and takes one metric sh*t ton of a beating.

 

Beautifully put ABN.

 

ware could I get some or something like it I was told by one guy that painted his jeep od green he said he mixed hunter green and primer 25/75 the rustoleum stuff would some thing like that even work?

 

Google OD Green. There's a company out there that makes a great paint but I don't remember. I was going to use the stuff on my rock crawler. Its not what the military uses but you'll get the same look. The company I'm thinking of makes all sorts of colors I Just came across them by googlind OD Green!

 

PPG makes some super tough camo colors for the aerospace industry. If you can find a dealer that will get it, you can't beat it.

 

ok CARC you might be able to get from DRMO (defense reutilization and marketting office) but you would probably end up with like 55 gallons of tan and have to paint your house with it

if you are lucky you might be able to pull some from a shadey character that stole some on his/her way out to paint their bronco or something. but I'd give it a 50/50 chance that it's a mix of primer and normal paint being sold as the real stuff

there is a type of primer that is a sealant (like paint, and unlike normal primer) that you can get in OD green, i don't remember the name, but it has been mention here before, and my dad uses it in grey for his projects due to it's durability, etc.
DP-40 maybe

 

I can't find what I was trying to tell ya. I'm also doing this off my phone so tomorrow at school Ill do some digging and try to find it. PPG is always pretty good paint. I can also ask my buddy that used to paint cars he'd probably know a good brand.

 

Thanks guys I'm not in any hurry I still need some fenders And Start The prep work

 

I've seen CARC sold by the gallon and maybe pint somewhere but can't remember the address, its not cheap.
