Nato Paint

pos · Feb 21, 2010

Hello,

How does Nato Green Matt paint stand up to oil and grease? I'm going to be re-spraying my 90 at some point in the near future and I like the look of Nato green. I don't want it on there though if it's just going to soak up oil like a sponge!

Cheers

On my old 110 I had Nato Green satin, and that was very resistant to staining indeed, not to mention scratches. Not sure if different brands/types of paint will have different performance though.

Thanks. It's yellow at the moment but it's desperately in need of some attention. I think NATO green is the way forward, perhaps a satin finish will be more suitable. Then again, I have always liked the 'dry' look of the matt. Hmm. Anybody got any pictures of a landy in satin nato green, and one in matt nato green? I might even re-spray it another (slightly darker) yellow. That colour has kind of stuck on me.

my trailers are in nato green satin and matt black , if its the proper nato paint its bloody hard wearing stuff , oil an grease will come off it easy enough,

the bed of my 90 pickup has about 20 + coats of nato green on it, its had compressors generators, saws and other heavy bulky plant thrown on it most days and is standing up really well,

its down to the prep of the paint job how well it stays on

My Grandad is always spraying ornaments in and around his house and garden and he's offered to help me paint it. He's very keen to get the surface absolutely spot on before we start (as am I), so the overall job should be quite a good one. I'm thinking Satin Nato is the way forward at the moment because it's still got a 'rough' appearance. I might well take the roof off and the seats out so that I can coat the inside too. That said, it's the usual do I give it a fresh coat of yellow (the existing colour) or do I go for something else!?

I think the Nato look suits the Defender, I had a Gaz 66 we did in black and that looked spot on too! Think the square boxy style suits such paints.

Think mine will either be black or green when I get round to it. Hate the farmer blue, even though its in perfect condition!
