Evening, folks,
Reckon this is Khaki Green J? The yellow faded paint appears to be common, and the refreshed green is just a result of a rag and water. Cheers, Matt

Water restoration
That will make for a cheap restoration Matt, couple of rags and a few bottles of water!

I'd be tempted to leave that truck in its natural patina . You would be the only guy at Corowa with a vehicle still painted in genuine army paint ! Mike

Thanks, gents. Mike, you have a very good point. Sadly, things go south from the back of the cab! But, it certainly makes me think, and if I could save it, it'd be worth doing. Keith, perhaps the molecular remnants in the Pepsi bottle helped!
Cheers, Matt

It seems that Khaki Green J fades to that familiar yellow, but does KG3 do the same?

In my experience yes.
I have a late production rear from a Gun Tractor No 9 . The inside paint is an exact match for KG3 the outside faded to an indistinguishably yellowish colour I have seen on exposed vehicles that must have been painted from 1941-1945 I guess the chromate pigments , which were the same for all greens during WWII, are the hardiest.

an example of the problems faced.
Three NOS items a hinge a fan Shroud (Ford) an internal panel Chev production The hinge is KG3 and from late chev production. The Internal panel is KGJ second toning down version and the fan shroud early ford production and appears to be Foliage Green K according to the canberra sample plates.

Colour reference
It's also interesting to compare some of the new old stock parts which were painted in Canada. I'll have to gather some together, a mix of greens, sand and even brown.
By the way I found my two pint tins of khaki paint over the weekend.
