Olive Drab Paint
« on: September 02, 2006, 07:41:36 PM »
I know it's on the site but I can't find it. I need the numbers for Mil 24087 OD.

The old gun was finished in clear polyurethane to show off the Oak but now needs to be painted with OD.

 ??? ??? ???

This is very good stuff and fairly common. I painted my truck with it about 8 years ago and it's still holding up well.

I found the old post givng the correct colors.  What we did was get samples of the colors from the Carriage makers and run them through the paint analyzers at  Home Deptot and Lowes to get the formula to duplicate.

I was supposed to post a link in the stickies at the top of the board, I didn't but will now.  Here's the link:
