TM9 Ordnance 2430 paint

[Thunderbird712]

Curious if anyone has used TM9 Ordnance 2430 paint. I am aware of the other options for 2430 but havent heard to much about this product since it seems to have only just recently come out.

Thanks

Update: Yesterday I received in the mail the 2430 metal spray out sample I requested. Included was a note explaining the paint color and code changes during the 50s and 60s, much like as described in Ryan's book. So, despite not answering my email, he did send a very nice sample.

I sent off an email to his contact info on the web page, asking if he could send a metal paint sample of the 2430, and as over a week later, no reply. Not a good sign of anything . . .


Now my problem is the sample is darker and browner than the paint I had matched to the inside of my glove box door which also turned out to be a good match to surfaces I uncovered in other panels, so which one do I believe?
