Jeez, I could sell you a wide track trailer that would be a lot easier to tow because you can see it and it has a darn sight more space and a drop tailgate

Default Hello.... and where are you???

Hi Troy and welcome to MLU. I am not the expert on what color went where, BUT if you can get a sample of the color or Code #, I may be able to help you out. Hopefully a "Mr Love" will chime in!
Cheers....Robert (Vancouver)

I hope I can get a code from someone here . I've contacted a couple military museums and the suggestion was to ask here . Hopefully someone can help me out . I found a supplier in the uk that has khaki green 3 but the amount to have it shipped because it's considered hazardous is unreal. I was hoping someone in b.c. could sell me a couple liters or help me out with the code so I can get it mixed myself.

Default Very very simple!

Troy: If your contact in the UK has a large DRY sample, tell them to send it here and I can have it matched. Any product....anytime! So where are you located in BC?
Cheers.....Robert
