Where to buy paint?

[msoumas]

I want to paint my M1009 in aircraft black CARC, but the only place I've found in my searches that carries it is Milspray at more than $250 for a gallon. Is there any other place to buy correct-looking aircraft black CARC paint from, preferably for less than Milspray?

What is aircraft black CARC? Been in military aviation 18 years and never heard of it. The closest would be a rain erosion coating which you would not paint a truck with (or a whole A/C either). I am guessing you mean the 383 black which can be purchased at RAPCO in TX.

real CARC is expendsive, thats just how it is.

"Aircraft Black" is paint color #37038 off Milspray. I don't believe it is actually used for aircraft, I think that's just the name they chose.

I was very happy with the Milspray product. Just my 2 cents worth., Capt. T

I had the local Sherwin Williams get their CARC and was really happy.
Once again, just my two pennies.
