What is the correct paint code for a 52 and does it come in a spray can?

 

[Storm 51]

The I believe the correct paint color is 24087. I got mine from TM9. I'm very happy with it.

I'm sure others will have their own recommendations.

Thanks. I see they now have OD2430.

The original color from the factory was a WWII semi-gloss which no paint vender has yet to duplicate correctly., Somewhere around 1954-55 the army went to 24087 which is what you'll find on 99% of all M-37's weather its the top coat or one of the colors underneath.

I thought that was OD2430 from TM ordnance?

The M37 is on top of my must have list congrads on the beautiful new purchase. Still kicking myself for one I let slip though my fingers.

Yes
which is ( usually ) marketed as WWII semi-gloss being ( I've read ) the army started using it about 1944.
