CARC paint

[Manstein]

Anybody got a line on where to get CARC paint from that is not expired? Also, I thought I saw a thread a while back where there was some comparrison on using Rustoleum or Krylon colors that where pretty close but I can't find it by searching. Anybody else remember it?

but the mil 53039 they have has a "flaw" it scratch's easy if you run a fingernail over the paint it gets a very light gray scratch
not though the paint just mess's with the pigment.

Check with Sherwin Williams Industrial Coatings divison.. They make it

SECO in Agusta Ga has it in 55 gallom drums. Told me they would fill my can if I brought it to them. Sherwin Williams has to be an industrial store, the home paint stores can't get it.

The scratch's do disappear though.

I would not use CARC due to the application and health problems.. The solution is to use the same colors in air dry enamel... RAM

I have a sand painted truck and if you have one, you will notice the CARC paint absorbs oil, grease, boot prints ect. With no access to CARC, I have used Rustolium "Putty" colored paint to do touch up on rust spots . It is real close at 5 feet away. It does have a bit more sheen, but comes in spray cans and conventional quarts, and less of a health issue.

Anybody carry the 383 in spray cans. I could use some for touch up.

I bought the new 2 part water based CARC from sherwin williams industrial in San Diego. They supply the the bases down there. I haven't shot it yet so I have no feedback regarding application, etc.

Thanks for the tips. Does anybody have any experience matching the colors to existing spray cans/store brands?

Sermis, I bought some touch up in rattle cans from Army Jeep Parts Inc. Label reads as follows:
Gillespie Coatings Inc. Paint
34094, "383", CARC Substitute........ Was a pretty good match for my truck

PPG can match it to two of there paint lines one is PPG# DAR46260 thats the color and paint line info
I think its a Polyurethane Acrylic Enamel by the mane of Delstar it's $131 a gallon the other is
Concept 2K Urethane with the hardener catalyst etc it's $300 a gallon but it's the best paint PPG makes.
