Gillespie paint chips

[jvrotter]

I'd like to try some different colors of Gillespie paint but would like to see the actual colors. I e-mailed Rapco but have'nt heard back. Any source out there for color chips?

Nothing that im aware of. Is there a particular color you had a question about? Rapco has a page showing a pic of the colors

 

[jvrotter]

OK, I didn't see that page before. Thanks!

Looking at colors on the internet can be deceiving. It can give you a vague idea of the color though.

What I'd do is find a color you think you like. Then buy a spray can of said color. Try it out and see how you like it before you order any quantity.

Aye, or look for pictures with both trucks painted in CARC and trucks painted with Gillespie in the same picture.

Another thing to watch is the camera taking the pic. I have/use an old Canon power shot A40 and my pics of military stuff comes out looking right. But I got a Fujifilm S1000 for my GF and all the military stuff we/she takes pics of trun out more gray. The carc green truns out the worst.

I emailed Army Jeep Parts Inc and they sent me a painted swatch of the GCI 24087 for free and said if I wanted any more to let them know. They have about the same prices as Rapco as well.
