Question about the paint color on my 923A2

[1 Patriot-of-many]

I'm going to do some painting soon, know the three basic colors, but what is the lighter green on this truck? Is this an improvisation by a soldier?

Call Al Haague the paint guy in NJ,609 744 0259, he has arvoe, a good hobby paint with awesome matches, I know I have used them all, In fact when I park next to the in service vehicles its amazing how much they match. He knows the correct colors and combinations with out guessing and with out using house paint. ... No improves, They paint fades and looks different over the years, Even when you re paint spots , it fades in just nicely with the Arvoe.

I purchased a deuce from a restorer that had the same shade of light green on it. Light green was one of the colors included in the "Verdant" color scheme back when there were 4 color camo designs. It you look at the Aervoe website ( http://aervoe.com/paints_coatings/Military-Vehicle-and-Recreation-Camouflage-Paint.html ) it shows you the available colors and lists the Federal Standard number for each color. A little of the light green goes along way. On my truck it reminds me of a Popsicle. Using the Federal Standard number Home Depot can mix you a sample container if you want to try it out.

I've never used a spray gun before, so I was planning on paint cans, but maybe I'll give it a try.

The 4 color scheme was long gone when the A2's came out.

So this was just a soldiers improvisation?

Most military paint jobs are improvs. They use what ever is handy. Be it mops, paint brushes, rags, sprayguns, etc. And the paint is whatever is on the shelf.

Of course YMMV.
