After the technical difficulties with the Home Depot formula mix up, I went down to Home Depot to question the labels they placed on the last batch of paint. They agreed they put the wrong label on my last batch of green and apologized. I had them pull up my green formula and had them mix up a gallon for my MEP-006a project.
So here are the VERIFIED 383 CARC Substitute formulas...whew!!!
Again sorry for any confusion

1- 383 Green
2- 383 Brown
3- Flat Black

Great thread guys. Can someone please tell me the best method for removing small areas of rust before painting? Is there a specific chemical ? I plan to remove all lose pain on my deuce first but i was hoping for a fairly easy way to stop and remove rust in small areas before painting.

I used one of those paint stripping wheels you put on a drill motor. I got it at Walmart in the automotive dept where they have bondo etc. Once I ground the rust off, I put the Rusty Metal Primer on it.

I think there is a green out there that is slightly darker than the 383 but not as dark as the older semi-gloss green. Does anyone have any ideas what that is? Maybe something more woodland/forest and not so much OD but still flat-flat.


Thanks!

Ive decided to follow your lead friend. Seems as though you and several others have had excellent results from this paint. I picked up a gallon mixed to match rustoleum deep forest green and the pictured gun monday. Thanks for sharing this

Hi, I am sure you guys can help me. Look at my avitar and tell me what color yellow orange that is on my truck. It is a 1968 Keiser Jeep m35a2. I would like to buy some spray paint touch up for it. Those colors are original military colors. Thanks
