How quickly could that paint come off, if it needs to come off? Its not water soluble is it?

Looking at the pics of french stuff being painted I wouldn't assume so. But these are the rules of UN mission. NATO stuff on peace and stabilisation missions don't have to paint the whole thing white and wear blue helmet.

But I was also thinking about that because that's possible when Hezbollah is going to play dirty.
