Where can I find a pre-war paint color for a dodge VF or VC? From what I have seen it is a yellowish olive drab. Gillespie coatings does not offer anything before 1941 OD.

Years ago, a friend of mine was doing a 150% restoration (way WAY over-restored) on an MB Jeep. He very carefully had the paint custom mixed to match perfectly. When he removed the data plates from the dash, he found that he very carefully had matched faded paint. The color under the data plates was standard OD.....
