64EK26 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Hi Olive Drab paint code is BS381C 298 Olive drab from different suppliers does come out slightly different colours, there will also be slight variations in colour depending how the paint is applied brush/spray. The colour also changes with age. I use a semi-gloss from Express Paints in Portsmouth The only other recommendation I would make is buy sufficient paint to do the whole job Hope this helps Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
