FOSCO Army Paint 400 ml Camouflage Spray — Vietnam Green

Vietnam Green camouflage spray paint in a 400 ml can, formulated with alkyd resin for application on weapons, equipment and tactical gear. It carries NSN code 8010-17-056-2175 and is designed for anyone who needs a matte, durable finish that holds up under the operational conditions typical of hunting, shooting and professional use.

The alkyd formula with 83% resin and 17% solids provides solid adhesion to most materials without requiring a primer under ordinary conditions. A gloss level of 5 at 60° corresponds to a strongly matte finish: it eliminates the reflections that could give away a position in vegetated environments or under raking light, which is exactly the trade-off you want on a weapon or accessories exposed to direct sunlight. The trade-off is that the same alkyd formula responsible for its durability and flatness requires 16 hours to reach full chip resistance — this is not a paint to apply the evening before a hunt with only a few hours to spare.

Tack-free drying occurs in 10–20 minutes and the surface is ready for use in 45 minutes, enough time to work in layers and build a broken pattern or a multi-colour camouflage scheme. Thermal resistance up to 110 °C makes it compatible with barrels and suppressors that reach high temperatures during firing.

Key points

• Strongly matte finish (gloss 5 at 60°) that eliminates reflections on weapon and equipment surfaces.
• Thermal resistance up to 110 °C: compatible with barrels and surfaces that heat up during fire.
• Ready for use in 45 minutes, useful for layering or correcting an application in a short timeframe.
• Full chip resistance reached after 16 hours: plan the application well in advance of intended use.
• The 400 ml format is sufficient to cover multiple surfaces or carry out touch-ups over time.
• NSN code 8010-17-056-2175, a useful reference for those operating in contexts with standardised procurement requirements.
