Glaring Signs You Were Once In The Military

Black paint or ‘Boot-Topping’?

If you ask military personnel, there isn’t much difference between boot-topping and boot paint. Actually, boot-topping is that black coating used between the deck and waterline. In addition, it has a liquidy and thick consistency and sulfur or lime is used in making it. Despite the fact that civilians wouldn’t even notice that boot-topping is different from black paint, an expert military eye will be able to spot the difference even when a mile away.
