Paint colours again !
Hi,
There is always some sort of discussion going on about paint colours . I like to go straight to the original source as a guide e.g. the original faded paint found on the vehicles . On two of my Morris Commercials from 1940/41 the base coat was a medium green with a grass/ olive hue to it . Over this green a very much darker green has been hand brush applied in wavy patterns . British G3 was apparently a very dark green as I have Mike Starmers colour chips here to look at . I think the lighter overall factory applied green is G5 . Anyway have a look at : http://www.geocities.com/vk3cz/Paint.html Mike

original source
Mike,
Indeed very nice to have an original source as a guide. Wonderful stuff, thanks for taking the trouble to write it all down (I've added a link on my paint schemes for CMP trucks page). Hanno

Dark Earth
Mike,
As a matter of interest to you, as a Morris man. About 20 years ago, whilst restoring a C4, I took the back of the cab off and found it to be painted Dark Earth. I would say for sure this was how it left the factory in 1943 as it is not possible to repaint this area without dismantling body or cab. Richard
