I'm trying to find an Army green self etching primer in a rattle can. Dupli-Color makes one, but based on the pics I've seen of the cap, it's an ugly puke greenish yellow!

Does anyone know of a self etching primer like NAPA 7220 that's a nice Olive green?

According to the Q&A section on the Aircraft Spruce website, Tempo Zinc Phosphate is self-etching, available in green, and comes in a rattle can.

Go to this link, scroll down, and hit the Q&A tab.

MarHyde (my mistake - it's SEM) has one that is a much darker green than the Akzo primer, but seems a little darker/grayer than the green zinc chromate to me...

SEM self etching green primer.

Here's a quick website link I found that shows a color sample of it. http://www.repaintsupply.com/sem-39693-green-self-etching-primer-p1376.html

I'd highly recommend the SEM although I use the grey color. The duplicolor is scratched easily and tended to flake off.

Duplicolor from the NAPA store. Too dark?

Doesn't say anything about being self etching but I use Moeller Zinc Chromate primer. Available from local marine stores.
