Anyone used it? I did, and while I do like it, it came out a lot lighter than I expected. I was thinking thinking it would come out a lot closer to the shade that Doc's Bersa (WW2 OD Green) appears in pictures.

The color is a shade or two lighter in real life than the pictures.

Now, I know that you can manipulate the amount of gloss that your finished part has with the amount of hardener, but is there any way that I could have fawked this up? I shot the receiver twice because I wasn't happy with the outcome the first time. It looked ok immediately after it came out of the oven, but just ended up sort of "pale". Is there something I'm missing or am I just better off picking a different color and shooting it again?

nothing usefuls to add
but that shoty looks:smokin:

what was your mix ratio?

what was your mix ratio?

12:1, HF gun, baked at 200ish for an hour (low as the oven will go), air temp was 55ish in the shop.

I have not used that color.
I have had some that look a bit different in person, then on the web site.

I shoot a little on some scrap, let it dry in front of a heat lamp for ahwile. Then add some black, grey, or white if I don't like it.

The AUG green does look very green, lighter, in certain lighting conditions, indoors lights particlular.

What's it color under natural daylight conditions?

I did notice, when using it, that it wants to seperate to the base colors rather quickly. Shaking it alot was critical. You may also add the flatting agent up to 10% that changes the light refraction value and color's apperence as well.

Looks pretty much the same in natural light, very slightly darker. You're right about the seperating.

I don't have enough to re-shoot everything, so I either have to order more and mix some black in, or order a different color.

If you order more, I would suggest getting a different color. Maybe

and some black if you don't already have any.

I've heard that some of the colors (rose pink, for one) will end up lighter if baked immediately. If you let it sit overnight to partially cure, THEN bake it, the color won't get lighter in the oven.

WWII OD Green doesn't seem to care, nor does titanium, biege, or black. I've tossed all of those directly into the oven after spraying without anything changing.

IMO, if you like the way WWII ODgreen looks... Buy some ODGreen and shoot it again. :shaking: ;)
