What paint is this?

[Kevin C]

I was just curious too see if anyone would recognize the paint on the Deuce on 53's, and knew the code. I was browsing Google, came across it, and thought it looked really good.

Here's the link for the site I found it on also.

383 with 25% black would be my guess.

Hmm, looks too dark to be 383 Green. I would guess either Marine Corps Forest Green (34052)or Forest Green (34079) used with the MERDC camo setup. Kind of hard to tell from the one pic

Try 34052.

I was thinking it had some black mixed in there too. My guess was either the as mentioned forest green 34079, or O.D. 34087, possibly mixed with a bit of black. Or, maybe it was a cloudy day and made it look real dark.

I don't know, it confuses me, but it sure is some of the best looking paint I've ever seen on a Deuce so far.

LOL!

Recovery, do you have any other pictures of that truck? I think you might have hit the nail on the head.

looks like they stole pictures from C & C Equipment.

Really.. looks like Wal mart Cammo Krylon.

There seems to be a lot of that going around. I thought I recognized one of them trucks from somewhere else. I only posted the link because the picture I was referring to appears to be an ebay picture, and might have been theirs at one point.

There are a few crappy pics in this thread.

Here's the only other one I can find right now. I do know that it's Gillespie 34052. I painted it myself and FWIW, that is the color I plan on painting all my trucks.

Here's a fellow SS's truck painted with the USMC Forest Green

I'm really liking the 34052. I spotted a Deuce for sale in person on Wednesday, took a few pictures, and I was surprised that I like the lighter green in person too. I believe it was a faded 383 camo paint job, don't know.

That's what got me thinking about paint. I was also shocked by the size, I thought Deuces were a lot bigger. I'm not that tall, 6'1", and I didn't expect to be a little above the mirrors. Still a big truck for the money though, and I can't wait to start looking for one to buy sometime next year. Hopefully before July.

This one I spotted in person was a real nice example. Real clean winch truck.
