Default MilSpray products???

Has anyone used this company?
Do the prices seem in line for the products offered?
Should I use the water based CARC paint for my resto and what are the advantages in this besides clean up?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Default RE: MilSpray products???

I run one of the paint shops for a major theme park here in Florida. We have been told to start to use more of the water based paints due to the amount of stuff released into the air. What we have found is that we are not getting the life out of the water based paint that we are used to. The color does not cover as well and it requires more paint to get the same effect. In my opinion The water based paint is not as good as the vendor says that it is. Over all it is costing as much or more for us to make the switch over to water based paint.

When I painted my Pinzgauer I used Imron flat 30277. I used Colar 3.2 for the primer in a buff color. I have not had any issues with color fade or paint flaking off. I regularly run my truck through heavy brush and it has held up for 2 years.

Just my 2 cents worth,
Wayne

Milspray is good stuff, but will they sell to you without being a contractor?

I am a licensed excavation contractor, does that count? Do you have to be a defense contractor?
