terreneuve Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I have just bought a 1989 AWD Bedford MJ which has it's original green paint covered with a sand color. Also the top of the cab is painted red and the doors black. It came directly out of service like this from CFB Suffield in Alberta. I have two questions: Why did they paint the truck like this? :confused: What is the original paint code for the green on this truck?? Thanks for your help :-D John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roof is red for easy ID for Military Aircraft. Think the doors are black to highlight UIN's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoggyDriver Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I don't know what the paint code is, but it's just a NATO IRR green, all over. Look at the pictures of my truck to see.:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Nato green is BS381C shade 285. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REME 245 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 A red roof would suggest it was attached to the training team rather than the battlegroup. This colour scheme is also used on Salisbury Plain for vehicles attached to the training unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
