Paint...

[Tim Sullivan]

Brad,

I bought a couple of rattle cans of a Gillespie paint, I can't remember the exact colour number, but I believe it was the 34087, or something to that effect (not 319 or 33070... the OTHER colour) Markus at Willy's Acres has it on his site, what he describes as Khaki Drab paint. That stuff is quite a pleasing colour, definatly a different shade than the U.S. OD and almost exactly (from the photos of Jordan's stuff) a similar colour to what Jordan has on his carrier. Note that Markus no longer sells Gillespie brand, the stuff he has is the other stuff on the market, I've used it on my jeep and am very pleased with the effect. Sprays nicely, dries quickly and seems to be quite durable, from the two or three weeks of assembly wear it's gotten. Once I actually get IN the jeep and driving it I can give you a better report. Friends that have used it have been more than pleased with it, they say they can't scuff it off even if they try....

I actually thought of painting my jeep in the colour (as I'm doing it as Brit/Canadian) but from the research I've done (thanks in part to the MLU'ers) the jeep wouldn't have been re-painted from the U.S. OD. Ah well, it'll stick out with the MME scheme, that's for sure! hehehe...

Hope that helps!
