3 color woodland camo

I did my first deuce in Krylon paints; black, brown and green and it looked pretty good.
I did my second truck in colors from RAPCO and it looks official, the colors are the real thing. I learned from BULLDOGMACK13 about this stuff and he helped me detail mine out.... his advice and I used it and am very pleased with my 3 color woodland camo scheme.... Use the 383 brown and 383 green from Rapco, and for a better black than their's use the flat black from Rustoleum in the tall silver spray can at Loewe's. Best of luck to ya! :beer:

This is krylon "fusion" OD camo. When (or if) I get around to doing the M818 it will be with Rapco so it will look more original.

*edit* No its not for sale anymore. Its been sold. (I really need to edit that number out of that pic)

I suppose it's all in your taste and what color/pattern you want to do. I myself wanted camo but the wifey compromise was a sold color that didn't involve green/army color. I went with Rustoleum flat black but after a few months it has started to chalk. Not bashing the company, I actually just put in a question to them online and I believe I may have thinned it out too much before putting through the paint sprayer. They recommend Acetone to thin out no more than 15% per quart, I think I did too much and used a generic paint thinner or mineral spirits. This should apply to any enamel they supply so incase you plan on using a paint sprayer vs. rattle can. Hope this can help you out..:beer:

I just went through this trying to find a brown similar to the one used in 383 color scheme. After going to all the super centers and building centers, I have yet to find a brown that was anywhere close to the Gilliespie brown.

I settled on a Rustolium Flat Brown I found at the local farm store, and it seems to be the best look/fit, even with the 686 tan.

Good luck, but you may have to settle on a close brown, unless you order Gilliespie
