Light Green Paint, Olive Drab Paint, etc

[rob love]

A couple more factors that will vary the color of the paint are how it was stored (ie: frozen) how old it is (thicker) and the amount and type of reducer used to spray it.

Re trailers, and all the B vehicles for that matter, by the early 90s all were being painted the flat green. Some units would still cam the trailers and continue to cam the trucks, but flat green and it's later CARC equivelent (not the olive) was the correct color.

Your Right, he did nail it.

The photo of the trailer, although it was freshly painted, it was dusty at the time perhaps thats where the "blue" came from. The photo was also taken in direct sunlight. Its been inside for a long time since and appears much darker inside.

I have some close ups of the original 3 color camo on that Ferret scout car, will post up some photos. I will have to deal with paint for that this winter.
