I had an M923A2 sandblasted to bare steel and repainted solid 383 green. It took 4 gallons of CARC.

if I were doing an entire truck 3 color camo, I'd start by doing the whole truck in green and then floating the brown and black on top of it via rattlecans.

So figure 4 gallons plus some black and brown rattlecans....

We completely painted one of our 939s all black, undercarriage, and everything we could get to. It took 4 gallons of Rustoleum professional with an HVLP sprayer. I used the non air compressor type with the attached turbine. It covered pretty well.

I agree with the plan of all green and then rattle can the other colors. That seems like the best way to control the pattern.

It will also depend on how many coats you put on, I did a tack coat and two top coats ( three on some area's ).
