Paint Use?

[Tin Medic]

Looking at 4-5 cans of this paint but not sure what it is used for.

It reminds me of what I have seen inside of some shop vans/trucks

Thanks, came across 4 cans so I might pick them up, someone might need them.

If that 9/68 is the manufacture date I would be surprised if it is any good.

I am going to take one can and check it out before I buy them.

Picked up a can today and took it to Lowes to have them shake it. The paint is definately darker than the shade MWMules referenced above. There is still some clumping in the bottom of the can but I believe it is due to needing to be shaken longer. If you look at the edge of the can you can see a darker shade than the can lid, that is the actual color, the flash made the lid color look lighter.

That looks like an interior ambulance or van trailer color.

Agreed, looks like the colour for the inside of a M1010 CUCV ambulance.

May be worth getting a cheap airbrush from harbor freight if you don't have one already and then spraying a small metal test panel, then let it cure in the sun just to be sure of color. After complete shaking that is. That little bit of clumped material on the bottom could make a large difference in final color shade, but it also may not....
Either way someone will want it to do a restoration eventually.

And make sure you mix the cans together if doing a larger than one can project. The subtle differences may ruin your final output if not.
