Guest ColoradoCacher Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 I have just rec'd my ammo cans. This weekend I will be preparing them and painting them. My question is: Is there a specific TYPE or BRAND of paint that works best? Or will any outdoor paint work? Thanx! Quote Link to comment
Guest Dave P Posted May 30, 2001 Share Posted May 30, 2001 I just used cheapo spray paint on my caches (plastic and metal), it has held up for about 2 months so far. Quote Link to comment

Guest cleenjeep Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 If you are willing to spend a little more money on paint, search for Hammerite, it is the ultimate spray/brush on paint. It has glass in it, which makes it really tough, comes in a lot of cool colors, and is famous for their hammered finish paints. Check out Masterchem.com, to find the 800 number if there is no true value hardware store near you. You can buy it there, and if they dont haev it, you can order it. It is the best, I use it on my jeep all the time. no priming needed, and you can apply it directly to rust!

I've used enamel spray paint for my first two caches, they were only placed 2-3 weeks ago, so I'll have to keep you posted. But the finish seemed pretty good when they were dry.

Guest c_oflynn Posted June 21, 2001 Share Posted June 21, 2001 What about coating them with that clear protector stuff. I did that on my cache (yet to be placed). Anyone have experience with it? Thanks, Colin Quote Link to comment
