Some cans were stirred well others not at all. Some vehicles had 4 coats others a minimum coating. Some were washed down with water, others with soap and still others with kerosine or petrol to get rid of oil stains, instantly changing the colour forever.
If it feels good do it and ignore the comments from the peanut gallery.

Lang,
Very well put...
When I worked in army workshops, you could look at the vehicle park and all of them would be in IRR green, but not one would be the same. Age, mud grimed in, oil stains, washed in diesel, hand painted or sprayed, you name it, there are no hard and fast rules to drab paint. Its a subject that is unlike classic cars with their more durable gloss finishes.
