m1008 cucv army green paint

[Johnsin]

Hey there I'm relatively new to automotive stuff and I'm looking to get an m1008 or m1009 and I'm in the planning stage for either of these trucks and I just wanted some help with the paint job. I have no knowledge of paint types or anything related to painting but I want it to be an army green sort of like olive drab but with a light gloss to it and I have no clue what to get or where to look. Everything I've found is either extremely glossy or just flat od green and way to matte. Would adding a light gloss to a matte give me the subtle shine I'm looking for? Thanks for the help in advance!

This is the matte paint I've found: https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-b...3xFTTkxwB5uFFudh7jz7ub9OkfuxqKQEaAmu6EALw_wcB

I've attached some pictures of trucks that I enjoy the paint job on and just need to know how to get that look.

Look a lot like the USMC semi-gloss a friend of mine did his truck with: http://www.rapcoparts.com/padenew.html

I like the green on the first one but the others are not bad.

I just checked and he used the #24052 semi-gloss forest green and it looks pretty much the same as the first pic. Another you see sometimes is where they take a gallon of Hunter Green Rustoleum and mix in a pint of black and shoot the truck with that. Shouldn't be too hard to find a picture of one with that mix on it.

Sweet thanks the 24052 looks pretty damn good
