Arrow Experts chime in; military paint question?

I'm going with a military theme on my Mustang (track car) as I'm an Army veteran. Not rice style with spray bombs, thats why I'm looking into this paint.
Take a look at this website and tell me what you think about spraying this stuff. Would you charge more or less to spray it?
It seems like it might be easier to work with but I'm no expert. I had a few HMMWV's painted at Ft Hood and it only took them about 20 minutes (thats with me taping everything off first).

Click the PDF link for all the specs and prices. Speaking of prices is this stuff way more expensive than regular auto type paint?

Thanks for the help.

Well it would be less critical to prep and paint due largely to the fact it is flat paint. I guess I would charge a bit less for vehicle of same size, but thats just me.

Just looked some more at it-- and it aint cheap. Could probably dupliacate that effect in paint purchased locally at better price .

Well, for flat-no gloss you can go pretty cheap with the paint. If it were me Id try to match color you want in just a gallon of enamal or low end urethane single stage. The shipping plus price of the paint you found would be much more than what I could get a gallon for.

I'm quite confident this same effect can be had using much cheaper materials. Are you looking to do this yourself?
