Military paint? olive drab?

[mikegoobs]

Im trying to find some paint for my M1009 but i cant figure out what would be closest to original military green. The forestry service bought it before me and painted it white and its a really crappy paint job. What type of paint should i use???

PAINTS has some good paint used by a lot of guys. I ordered some the other day for my M813A1 that I'm painting, and it got here very fast. Haven't used it yet though.

Just typed in "military paint" and got over 39 PAGES of threads on the subject ! Not just threads, but PAGES of theads.

The search is located on the left side, down towards the bottom ! I am very surprised that when you were posting, that it did not prompt you to the similar threads ?

A very large amount of this type of issue lately, so maybe the site is not working properly ?

Anyway, I am sure you may find your answer there, though I did see one titled "M1008 paint", among the many choices, and I wasn't even really looking !

I found paint sample color strips at lowes compared to my M1008 took selected sample to PAINTERS SUPPLY. They scanned it mixed me a gallon of flat machinery paint . Its acrilic enamel and off I go. Custom mix flattener added $50.00 out the door

"The information you need is:

DuPont Vinyl Color
C8580J Code: 7465
Color: Dark Bronze

You have a choice of low, medium or high gloss. I find the medium gloss looks like the stock color!"

That's the interior dash and door panels, by the way. I haven't tried yet, but I hear the rattle cans from rapoco are an excellent match for exterior touchup.
