Paint

Rew

Whast the current recommendation on best spray paints to use, and where to get it. Need to give a spotting scope a simple enough paint job.

Ultra Flat paint. Krylon or similar brands are best. Im sure Ultra Flat found in a DIY store will also do you fine.

Yea any ultra flat paint is ok. The only thing is the stuff you buy in DIY stores dosen't generally come in tacticool colours

i would not dismiss then just because they do not have military names you can normally pig up some useful alternatives, i know i've found some perfectly usable flat green brown and light brown in homebase, worth a try

Same here. I bought some spray paint in B&Q with some fancy name like "Oxford Green", but it was really just OD
