Bodywork & Painting / Re: Protec Paint

The camouflage brown Protec pressure packs are the correct colour

I just sprayed a sample and the brown isn't anything like the colour on the sleeve over the can. I was assuming it was a dark brown (from the sleeve) especially when Protec also list a light tan.

It's close to the original allowing for some fading so I'll see how far a single can goes with the disruptive pattern.

I don't understand why rattle can paint would fade less than paint in a 4 litre can but...... it could depend on the thinners used and the percentage.
I've been using Toluene when spray painting with good results.
Touch dry in minutes (great if you're spraying outdoors) and then a couple of days to fully harden.

So to sum up, the colours you need from protec for the current 3 colour paint scheme are:

camouflage green - 342-1166
camouflage tan (brown) - 342-5265
camouflage black - 342-7165

Yes & No.
I already have all the colours you listed in rattle cans.

The camouflage tan (brown) is brown (on the can it's listed as brown) not tan and incorrect for my FFR.
The Protec light tan seems to be no longer made.
Initially I was informed that I'd have to buy 12 rattle cans, when I asked about a 4 litre tin I was informed Protec/PPG no longer make it ?!

Looks like I'll have to get a colour match, just need to figure out what I can take off the vehicle as a sample.

Bodywork & Painting / Protec Paint

I've been sourcing Protec Camo Green for my IIa GS & FFR.
I recently got some black & brown but the camo pattern on the FFR seems to have been painted in green, black & tan.

Did the FFR use tan rather than brown originally or has the brown just faded ? If it should be tan has anyone found an alkyd enamel or maybe it can be mixed ??
