Military paint lexan paint colors?

[Ovok]

Do military colored polycarbonate rattle cans even exist in the USA? I saw a video of a defender trx4 body painted an Eastnor Green and fell in love with the color, bringing back memories of a 110 Military I used to own of the same color.
Company was called PaintNuts, and of course they are English. I've heard to stay away from the kylon and rustoleum stuff and to stick with a high quality polycarbonate rattle can manufacturer, especially if this is your first time painting.

Tamiya has a lot of green variations, and is the choise of many for lexan painting.

With the right backing color, you could achieve whatever tone of green you are after.

I saw those but the green isn't even close to an olive green or that eastnor green color I spoke about, and I really have no idea what color backing would create that effect either. One would think there would be a healthy market for at least an olive green color. Thank you for the reply though. Much appreciated.

FYI, not a damn thing wrong with krylon camo paint on lexan bodies. I painted my stock body with it on the outside because I couldn't get a clear body kit and didnt want silver. Biggest thing is making sure the body is CLEAN including a final wipe down with rubbing alcohol.

Krylon body only scrapped off on rocks, no flaking or anything.

Just painted one with ordered color matched automotive paint, color to match my 1:1 now that I got a clear body for it. Had one extra step (plastic adhesion promoter, light coat before paint). This body has been flexed and everything while doing scale work, 0 issues.

Now hobbyshop paint, BE DAMN SURE ITS FOR POLYCARBONATE/LEXAN or it WILL FLAKE OFF.

First pic, krylon on the outside.

Second pic, automotive custom matched paint (spray can)

So ignore people that say you have to use whatever, it's BS. Other options work fine, biggest thing is it being design for plastic or using adhesion promoter for plastic.
