400ml Military Style SPRAY PAINT (Army Spray Paint - US Olive Drab)

Product Information

After years of searching an original paint chip for OD2430 has surfaced. Amongst the vast collection of a well known vehicle and paint expert in Pennsylvania, the original 1950 paint chip has finally seen the light of day. It is a very brown shade of OD that was replaced with the greener shade of OD in 1956 by 24087. This is the standard color all vehicles left the factory with from late 1950 through 1956. This color is available in enamel, both gallons and spray paint. So if you want your Korean War Dodge M37 or M38A1 painted with an accurate color, you finally have a source that can meet your needs.

The next image includes that of a Q panel painted with TM9 Lustreless Olive Drab Shade #8, next to a spray card that Jim Gilmore gave me.

TM9 Lustreless Olive Drab Shade #8

Olive Drab Matt LRC213 Coach Enamel paint has been used by the Army and Royal Air Force for many years on vehicles and ground equipment from the late 1960’s through to the late 1970’s. It is the earlier full matt green Paint that would have been used on the Series and early Defenders and of course other military hardware camouflage schemes during this time. Type of PaintThe number one question asked is, “Which shade is correct for my WWII _________?”The answer is all of them! Which one do you like?

When applying we must follow an application pattern, first horizontally and then vertically, applying the paint uniformly. I also have built four 1/72 Airfix vehicles (2 AFV and the RAF emergency set) exactly 48-45 years ago. Look at the color photograph below. It was taken during the war. The actual shade of the Olive Drab used on the WC-54’s is not as important as the notable difference in the shade and hue of the paint. Could the difference also be from having a newer vehicle (or an older one recently painted) that was put into service next to an older vehicle? Perhaps, but again the difference is significant! Which one do you like?

Optional Additives

It is recommended to do it in a place whose temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees. If the painting or varnishing process is done in very hot or cold conditions, the final result may not be good. Once opened this paint was reduced by about 15% with Naphtha, and sprayed on a number of Q panels. True to its original chemistry, it dried very slowly and produced a lustreless flat finish. This is highest quality 400ml Aerosol Spray Paint in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey available to be delivered in 24 to 48 hours for express delivery and between 3 to 5 days on standard delivery.

So what's the current wisdom? The most tempting ideas I've seen so far are (enamel) a 50:50 mix of FS34087 and FS30118 (both of which I think I have in Xtracolor) and (acrylic) Vallejo Luftwaffe Brown Violet (which I certainly don't have). Our mission is to provide paint that is as close to the original shades as possible. Please be aware, shades may differ depending on viewing device. We are now able to exclusively offer a choice of Enamel to meet your growing requirements: paints: If you require an even more durable finish then select the 2K option, 2k Paints are chemically hardened, they are activated by releasing a valve at the base of the aerosol, once the can is activated you have a twelve hour period for use. This is not the paint used in the factories to paint vehicles as they came down the assembly line, but rather the paint (in paste form) issued to ordnance and motor pool units to be utilized for the repainting of vehicles in the field.

We know that "The best form of advertising is the personal recommendation of a satisfied customer".In November of 2006 we received an original can of 1944 Lustreless Blue Drab paint from Kevin Kronlund of Army Cars USA. This paint had never been opened.
