This is the paint I use.. Hotrod Flatz HRF235

Here's what I use

This stuff is EXTREMELY DURABLE! I'm not sure what color this would be equal too in the military vehicle designation,but its not really flat. Has more of a satin sheen to it. Damn near semi gloss. Its hard as a rock when fully cured.Its a regular automotive urethane paint.Arevoe absolutely sucked,and Gillespie paints I didn't care for,and weren't as good as advertised. both were finger nail soft for a VERY long time after applying (weeks/months). The shipping on the hotrod flatz is only $14.98 via UPS for the entire gallon kit. Completely reasonable. No rip off shipping/packing charges. Also available in quart kits.The kit makes about a gallon an a half. This stuff is AWESOME! They might even mix custom colors.

Here's the tech sheet on the hotrod flatz...http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/psh ... 06HRFP.pdf

This looks a bit WWII brownish

This looks a bit heavy on the green. Almost Marine corp forest green

In the current Fed 595 chart the 24084 most closely matches the 24086 and 24070 most closely matches the old Gillespie 23070 or AJP late WWII OD or the early 4 digit spec 2430.
