For the flat green you can use the 383 CARC substitute from Gillespie. ....it is as close to the flat green as you will find. The olive is a tougher one. 33070 from Gilespie comes close, but a little drab. Brian Asbury in Acton was having it made up, but indicated a coupel years ago the end was near for having this kind of paint made. The US colour code equivalent is 34083 but I don't know of any suppliers. RAPCO in the US has indicated he will make it up based on an order for 50 gallons, but I'll leave that up to a dealer to get made up.

For the black, just use tremclad flat black. If using the oil based tremclad, acetone is a good reducer. For all the gillespie stuff, xylene is best. But xylene in the tremclad will curdle.

If you use the search function here or on google, we had some lengthy discussions on these paints in the past, including the camo pattern for the Jeeps.
