MoD/NATO Paint

I'm looking to get hold of some genuine MoD/NATO paint for my ex-Army Landrover.

Overall it's in excellent condition, but in places the paint has cracked and I want to put it right before it festers into an issue, so if any of you can help with some details, I'd be very grateful.

I bought it about four years ago, wonderful sound to its V8 - perfect purr :D Soft-top 110, and, just to be different, left-hand drive. I've been everywhere in it, and love to get it muddy, so the paintwork needs doing! :)

Ebay, army surplus, MOD sales or a friendly VM.

If the VM offers to paint it for you beware, it'll probably come back looking like something the Beatles thought of on a bad trip. Camoflage for an alternate reality!

Oh I don't mind doing it myself - would prefer to in fact ;)

I've seen some listings on eBay for NATO paint, but never had a satisfactory answer about whether or not its appropriate for a vehilce.
