Hadn't seen this before. Just in time for me to fix some rust this summer.

This will hopefully be a better (closer) match than the paint I'm buying at the hobby shop.

Thanks for the heads up.

I presume others have used this paint and had good results?

That's a good find, thanks Todd.

I get mine at WalMart.
Krylon camouflage Ultra-Flat 4293 olive, for 4.95 for a rattle can.
It is not a perfect match but looks better than the kisses left by the rocks and bushes. I keep one in the tool box for emergencies.
Eventually all of it will match.

Same thing at Ace Hardware for 6.95.

Very interesting. I've never seen this in a spray can. I wonder if it's really RAL 6014? I'd use this if it were a true color match. Anybody out there try it yet ?

No it is not it is darker. its the paint there using to touch up the pinzgauers they have listed look [url]http://www.swissarmyvehicles.com/shpics ... s&idnum=54[/url]

Hmm mine looks a little nicer than that with less mileage for $16,500.00 :?:

Just talking out loud I've had very good parts service with SAV.

Too bad it's too dark need to de- rust my belt line seams one of these days.

I picked up a couple cans from SAV. Tested it on a few spots on my 712 today. The color is a good "average" between the shades on my truck. Of course it is much darker than the faded paint. Compared to the unfaded paint (under plates, decals) it was a little lighter and a little more olive in color than the deep green of the ambulance box. Overall it is a good shade to use if you are working back towards the original unfaded color.

[IA712]

OK, after a light second coat on my test spots I'll have to say that this paint is almost an exact match to the unfaded areas on my Pinzgauer. I am wondering if this is military color 24087 - looks close.

[todds112]

That's good. Gonna get few cans here . I need to start getting on some surface rust issues.

24087 is US Korean War vintage trucks. The Pinz should be the RAL6014 I think. Lloyd, if you go into the local paint store here they can mix you up some. I got some last summer in Storm Lake.

Thanks for the info Bryan, but for now I am looking at rattle can paint. The paint from SAV is made in Germany and probably is the bundeswehr RAL6014.
The color of 24087 changed with the different federal standards.
595A-24087 is not the same as the current 595B-24087. Actually, the old 24087 is the same color as the new 24084.
I ordered some sample cans of the $5 Gillespie paint in various shades of semi-gloss OD and Marine Corps forest green to see what I liked.

They can put it in rattle cans for you with the RAL 6014 is what I meant to say. I don't know why you can't read my mind?

[IA712]

I don't know why you can't read my mind?

I try not to read scary stuff late at night.

Playing around with the Gillespie colors I found their 24087 to be too brown. The 23070 WWII semi-gloss olive drab looked darn close to the SAV color. I may go with 24052 Marine Corps forest green on the spare ambulance box that's getting turned into a camper.
