WWII Semi-gloss
Hey
Have any of you guys painted your duece in WWII semi-gloss?, if so have you got any pic's you can post? Also is there a difference between AJP's WWII semi and Rapco's WWII semi paint. My 35 was originally 24087 but I was just thinking about doing it a little greener and I don't really want to go to a flat OD color ( though I still might go with 24087 )
Thanks for any help

The 24087 is a darker shiny green when compared to the WWII semi gloss. I am working on a M135 in the WWII semi gloss. I like it better than the 24087 I have put on one of my deuces. It is 'greener' I guess you could call it.

52' M37 in 23070 WW2 Semi Gloss during restoration.
Wasnt the 50's the last time the WW2 OD semi Gloss was used?

Most producers of WW2 paint claim they are WW2 and are 1950s M37 colors. TM 9 is the only producer that has true WW2 colors that I know of. I know Rapco and GCI are both not WW2 colors. I am a trueist in preservation and used TM9 for that reason

Bulldog thanks for the photo ( got any more?), it looks like the WWII semi rapco sells
Tractor, I agree I haven't yet found a match for the original color of my 54,M37 which was suppose to be WWII semi, though I have not sampled TM 9 paint, however I did like the color of Rapco's WWII and was curious if anyone had used it on their M35 which I know is not correct color but what the heck, I've done 3 trucks in 24087 and thought I'd try something different
I've also read that AJP's WWII semi is made in a different shade then Rapcos ( yes I know their both Gilliespie )
Jeff, I'd like to see pic's of your 37 project anytime you have them
