Hi Tony, if I can find a pro I'll ask them how they do it, but I use a normal spray gun. The paint I use is PROTEC 503 equipment enamel, khaki green No3 its the best paint I have found and very quick drying and about $35 for 4 litres and thinning out around 20-25%. Don't forget a couple of 303 holes for visual effect

Hi Dave, you would be right about the colours. After sanding, you can see the black chassis and original green on the cab but I'm sticking with the good old KG N03.
Colin

Default Studebaker Colour

Hi Colin - the Studebaker we had in the Museum in 2003 was painted that American deep bronze green with duck egg blue scripting on the bonnet. I have other restoration images somewhere in my archives. I don't know whether any were repainted to Oz colours as they came onto our scene quite late in the war.

Hi Colin - just found a couple of before images. Looks like an Oz colour, possibly KG3, overpainted the American colour.

Update on the stude!
Tray is ready for a new floor and a nice brand new set of Firestone military NDT tyres straight from the USA. The delivery is excellent.
