Matching Swiss Semi Gloss Green paint for a Unimog S404.114 (1963)

August 6th, 2013. I am trying to calculate a match for the Swiss Army Semi-Gloss OD they used on the 1963 Unimogs, as I have neither a RAL number and I am trying to figure a match to American made OD paints (for our Army's vehicles). The Swiss changed the OD green on the truck from the MB Germany Army semi-gloss, and I swear it either looks like our Korean War Semi-Gloss or the Vietnam Era Semi Gloss..... This probably should have gone in the paint & body forum, but since it is peculiar to the Swiss Unimogs, maybe we can save other folks from too much heartburn. The truck got repainted outside by one of its other American owners with Woodland green CARC equivalent, but as the truck sits out (too large for the garage), I figure that the Semi Gloss ought to make it possible to wax the truck (perish the thought), which should ease the aging that Unimogs get from being outdoors here in beautiful Illinois..... Thanks Again!fat lady sings

As I am in the market for paint as well I'm all ears to the answer if you find one...

My rims are out to get lips straightened, media blasted and epoxy primed as we speak.

Bed then cab next.
