Just a quick and probably stupid question, that I feel I need to ask before breaking out the spray gun.
Having acquired 4 period jerry cans to go in the storage racks of my Militant Tanker, what colour should I paint them?
I intend to finish the tanker itself in Deep Bronze Green as it would have been when new in 1954, But I never saw a jerry can in DBG in all my time in the R.E. they were always matt green, wherever they were used.
So should the cans be done in matt or would they have been gloss back then, anyone old enough to remember?
