Hello from Germany Guys - Paint for a 1953 Reo

[Franz_Sebastian]

hello from germany

i am new in the steel soldier forum,and i have a lot of questions.
i saved a 1953 Gas Reo M35 from the crusher,with only 2000 mls !!!!!
the reo came from a German Airbase in ERDING, near Munich.
i need the correct paint number to repaint he reo.
i also need the correct markings (stars,numbers) on the doors,hood and bumpers.
i like the Paint and numbers at the vietnam era
who can i buy parts for the engine (tune up kits),gaskets and the convertible top ?
i hope you can help.
sorry about my not perfect english.

best regards
franz

a 1953 would be painted a OD(Olive drab) semi gloss like 24087 SEMI-GLOSS, 1957 to present
Dark O.D. The last color used before camo patterns started or AJP WWII SEMI-GLOSS, Late 1944 thru 1957
A true O.D., AJP had this color matched from some early NOS parts.

God I hope this looks alright.... This is a clip from another website dedicated to military paint jobs...


The camouflage alkyd enamel paints and colors for the four color camouflage were been standardized under the designations in this table:

Earth yellow 30257

Franz, welcome to the forum! I spent some time in your neighborhood back in the sixties (Augsburg). If you can't find an answer here, try

Hey Doc, isn't that known as the "shotgun technique" in the medical world?
In electronics, we have "prayer beads".....

Hallo Franz,

gratuliere zum Reo und willkommen hier im Forum. Augsburg ist gut, sehr gut sogar. Ich wohne bei Göppingen und muß demnächst nach Augsburg. Wenn du nichts dagegen hast, suche ich dich heim
Wo finde ich deine Photos?
Meinen findest du hier (nicht meine Seite): http://www.freyhaven.com/index2.html --> "Tagebuch" --> Beltring 2005-Teil 1 und Teil 2 (Teil 3+4 sind noch in Arbeit).

@ all: I live roundabout 140 km away from Franz. In Germany we say: "This is not the next way." But it's not too far away for a short trip.

Grüsse
