Not sure, how much?  I know that I bought a tin the other day, but it was only 25ml from the model shop.  Not sure on larger quantities.

Its Wattyl olive drab...enamel lustreless. I was advised that I could apply a Matt lacqure to it, to stop it marking.

Are you saying go for a 2 pack instead?????? I have more than half a 4lt tin left.

The baby oil down?

I did read that after a few years this type of paint looks more authentic, the more it wears.

Or you can use Lanox (in an aerosol can). The idea is to not put too much on, and I'd assume the same with baby oil as all sorts of crap will them stick to the paintwork, so use a lint free rag to apply it also  ;)

This is the difference it makes (with Lanox at least)





Now Castrol has been repainted, I no longer need to do this of course, as I used the Protec paint  ;D
