Where is a good source to get some flat military green paint? I'm looking for kind of a color like this...

I am not at LIBERTY to discuss what this paint will be used on. :lol:

Krylon makes a nice Olive Drab with no gloss

Also this page has all the National Stock Numbers for the US military's paint colors.

http://www.olive-drab.com/od_mvg_camo_carc.php

and here is a military paint supplier

http://www.milspray.com/

Now I can't wait to see what your are paining because OD green is my favorite color!

if something ever happens to my KJ it IS getting army OD...

the best way i've decided is to just pick a green that you like out of a paint variance catalog... then use flat clear over that green base (will need to mix with a flattening agent.. i know PPG has it dont know about anyone else)... then it wont fade and you can use strong cleaners without the paint streaking.

if your putting it on something that you dont really care much about.. i'm sure there is a single stage out there some where.. just google it :)

I saw a 4-door Wrangler Rubi with a glossy Olive Drag (not the current common color that is out there) and it looked sweet.

I've heard that one gallon of John Deere black combined with one quart of John Deere green makes a nice OD color but, never seen it in person, that I know of.

I would really like to paint my KJ a olive drab color. Does anyone know a good site where you can get military decals. My paint is looking pretty sad right now, maybe in a couple of years I'll need a paint job.

The best part of that UA JK is the engine. So sweet. That Jeep is awesome.
