Anyone know where I can get Panzer grey Auto paint? Went to the local store and they were scratching their head even when I gave them the code. RAL 7021. Heeelp, must paint my truck. Danke

1944 militaria sells panzergrau in spray cansfor $ 15.50 and quart cans for $27.50 they can be reached at www.1944militaria.com ph# 856-294-9310 Testors also sells a panzer schwarzgrau RAL7021. I've seen other posts where others have gone to a home-improvement store and had gallons tinted to match a sample they brought in. Good Luck!

Hmmm, wonder how long that would last on a truck? Will have to look into it.

 

[RGummere]

Not sure but I would imagine it would last q bit. One of the guys I reenact with painted some ammo cans with sandgelb and have held up pretty well getting toted through the woods. I'm not sure if adding a hardner to it would help or maybe a flat clearcoat?

 

[l1a1man]

Just saw 1944M claims the quart cans is for vehicles. Gonna get some. Then I will post pics of the 35' LKW. THanks for the help.

You are welcome! By the way, what model truck are you painting? Just being nosy as I have a 1937 Ford 1-1/2 ton needing restored.

 

[l1a1man]

No problem at all. It is a 35' Ford V8-51. Can't wait to have her done.

 

[RGummere]

Awesome! I'm slowly acquiring parts and $$ to throw at mine.

Will keep working on it. Love these trucks.

Ok, now I see it-duh! Sorry, mechanical things confuse me!

 

[RGummere]

Nice looking truck, man, undented fenders! I have my work cut out for me with the shape mine are in. Hey, when/if you have time, could you PM me dimensions and/or photos of the bed area and the wood blocks supporting it?

 

[l1a1man]

Wil do. Taking the bed off so I will get your email and send pics so you can see the blocks.

 

[RGummere]

Outstanding, I appreciate it!
