NO! I will just say it is Urethane based, and leave it at that. But you can get enamel that mimics the Military Standards paint codes, although it never seems to match exactly.

Not top secret, but not unclassified either, it has properties that perform other tasks.

Plus you dont to fuck with aircraft paints. most are CARCs... meaning they can cause Cancer, you have to wear a breather or mask when sanding down or painting.... as well as a full outfit.

military aircraft paint is a epoxy primer and a polyurethane top coat, yes you need a respirator and if you dont it is a lovely high. their is nothing that special about it unless you use the specific coating they use for radomes (nose of a/c that covers the radars)
12 years as an aviation structural mechanic has put me around this paint some what are you think of doing

Mike I was thinking of doing the new race car in a WWII flying tigers fighter plane paint theme. However, that was only if we got an all white one. Since the new one is red/white it's staying the way it is.
