So the armor Spat sent me, in olive drab, got a little nick in it and so I figured I'd touch it up with the Krylon Camo Olive I had sitting around the house... Ugh! I've sense bought 3 other cans all having different hues... I've been forced to repaint the entire suit, due to this -- anyone had similar experience? I've yet to find 2 cans of Krylon Camo Olive that actually are the same color... |

every little kick of paint on my set of spat armor, i just get a silver paint and paint over it. makes the armor look battle used. |

That's exactly what I did -- it's looking pretty sweet now, just wondering if anyone one had the inconsistency issue? My armor now is a shade darker then the original olive that spat used, which matches my M41A a bit better, but still seems weird -- Does Krylon just not check the hue/shade consistency of their Camo blends? |

could be a number of things. could be the paint batch, humidity in the air, if the aerosol can was properly shook before you spray painted. who knows. |
