I've not seen that before, thanks for posting. I just bought a bottle and will add it to the comparison list here, and I'll also compare it to some original items as before. Harry |

Sorry, no. I have the paint but haven't had time to do anything with it because of work. The wait for a comparison with items painted with the original paint will be longer still as the collection is in storage. I work at a University and vacation starts on the 27th March until the 24th April so I expect I'll have time then do get this done. Harry |

Ad first glance it loos a tiny bit too dark, but I need to compare it with a BB painted locator tube to be sure. At least promissing compared to other "alternatives". |

Brush one layer of the paint direct to Alu. If you would use an Airbrush and 2-3 layers you would getter better results. In the pictures it looks to greenish and to bright, but that is mostly due to ligtning and that its just one layer brushed on.

Looks great to me mate and it looks more like the BB on the HCG shrouds. |

This is the first coat of that paint on my kango, how does everyone think it looks? I've got nothing Brown Bess to compare it to, my hcg pulse rifle is od green and I can't see any Brown Bess on my t.e armour.

If you compare this with the locator tube I posted above as I wrote it looks a bit to bright. Just a little bit of weathering and you are good. |

Well, your indoor photo looks like olive drab, so I'd say you're bang on. What a strange color BB is. |

Is that painted with a brush or airbrushed jw1235? I'm interested in getting some but I don't have an airbrush! |

That's with a airbrush, I dug mine out just for this project, I've never really used it before but will be using it more often now, you get an extremely good finish with them! |

Well the misting in black should certainly improve the look no? Regards T A Z |

Here is a comparison of the paint next to a OD hcg pulse rifle, quite the difference, not sure if I'm happy with that tho haha may need to change the colour of the shrouds
