Painting the body of my 1943 MB Jeep
I used paint I ordered from TM9 Ordnance Lustreluss Olive Drab Shade #8 Synthetic Enamel.
$45.00 per gal & $10.00 Hazmat & packaging fee
They also sell a two part two stage urethane paint in the same shade. (much more scratch resistant)
I used almost the whole gallon to paint the body, frame and under carriage. (inside & out)
On the outside body... one coat of base paint and then sanded down... then two coats for the finishing coat.
I researched the paint and to my understanding this is the closest you can buy for authentic WW11 paint.
These pictures are after my first coat and then outside body sanding.
These pictures are after sanding and the 2 finish coats of paint
Now after a few days for drying, I just have put all the parts back on...
