Olive drab rattle can enamel

Tom

Look for Tamiya rattle cans. Better paint anyway.

I’ve always found the tamiya olive drab colors to be slightly superior to the testors. I just picked another one up on Amazon to complete a Sherman tank project, so they are definitely available.  There are multiple variants gloss/drab, etc.  You should be able to find what you need.

Thanks, gents.  Papa, how are you doing these days?  It's been a long time since I've seen you.

You can gloss coat over anything flat to get the look you want.  The important step is selecting the right color.   PS:  A big THANK YOU FOR YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE!!

Cheers, Dave

They know what there talking about!

Semper Fi!

Thanks, I have two cans coming from Amazon (expensive stuff, but I guess the days of the seventy five cent cans are gone) and should have them inside of a week.

Thanks, darlander. Went a LONG time in California and never heard that there.  Eighteen years of great experiences and a lot of lessons learned.

29 Palms?

Never stationed there but did a lot of business with them during my 3 1/2 years at NWS Seal Beach.

You may want to buy a can of Rust-oleum Camouflage Deep Forest Green (actually more like a drab green). It is a flat paint but you can spray a gloss coat over it.

If you want the real stuff and correct color, try RAPCO PARTS COMPANY, these guys know their paint.
