I've been super busy cranking out a dozen of these. My modified USMC green Behr top and Industrial black paint on the chassis (much more abrasive and thermal resistant). I like the look.

Just an FYI - Federal Standard 595 was deprecated as of 14 Feb 2017. It was replaced with AMS-STD-595.
I'm currently working with PPG and testing their Permanizer - which is a much more color stable and more robust paint than Behr Premium Plus (4300) with only minimal increased cost (~$70 per gallon instead of ~$50 per gallon).
Permanizer is the same type of paint as 4300 but slightly more durable, and much more UV stable.

Slight update on the PPG.
1. They 'found' the code in their system, but the code is only valid on certain product lines - they can't use any code on any product lines, and the only product lines that the code is eligible for is a marine grade epoxy. This is to prevent people from doing stupid #(%& and ordering the wrong stuff in the 'right' color, and protects their name/brand from people doing stupid stuff like painting cars with latex paint..
2. They were able to use their AMS595 color wheels/swatches/whatever, and do a color match using that, and it looks pretty spot on but won't know until it gets sprayed.
3. Behr looks the tiniest hair flatter, but not by much - but this was only with about 30 minutes drying on a test stick.
4. Home Depot now carries Permanizer at $52/gallon, however they're having issue getting flat ultra deep base permanizer in stock for some reason. I ended up paying about $67/gallon direct from PPG and no, they don't price match.
I should be painting in the next couple weeks and will provide an update.
