Anyway, on Monday, the gloss white goes on. After that, the plan is to leave the paint to harden for a few days before masking the white off in preparation for the OD to go on.
I am perplexed, are you shooting a gloss white, masking off vehicle markings (stars and numbers) then going OD over top that ? I know next to nothing about wartime application of M8 paint but why not just go green and stencil on in white the markings. I would be afraid of every ding and chip on OD and seeing the white surface. Looks great, once you have the big green box back home and can do the "fun and easy" stuff like markings take some silver paint to those bullet strikes and holes.
