Paint code comparison?

Post by Headcase »

:arrow: Just asking this... My M38A1 is a CDN 1953. The paint that appears on it now is a much darker, more black than olive, although the colours are supposed to be a code 24087. In the pics you can see that the fuel tank and gun mount are the new paint and the body is a darker green more like the 24052 colour code like the late WWII and post war marines colour. I am using paint from rapco and the codes are from their info as well. It seems to cover well and is consistant between applications as well.
The colour that is on the jeep now is the last paint that the Can. Forces put on it prior to disposal with crown assets that was 1976. Any idea what that colour is...? looks like the colour they painted the Mutt aka151? Love to hear if there is a code for that shade of green semi gloss etc. Thanks and not that I want to raise purist feathers here but I do preffer the darker green to the Olive colour and do have some rust spots to cover. Sorry still don't know how to post the pics here but have an album and paint comparison pics are there. Have a look and try to let me know what you know! thanks!
