How do I find out what color green they painted construction equipment in 1945?

1945 Paint Color

Chris,

The easiest way to get a short list of which military paint colors are correct for which time period would be to Google up RAPCO Parts ad and click on the paint tab on the web site.

They list everything from early WWII thru Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm. And they can supply it as well. I've used them for years and been very happy with the products and the service.

I think you will find the color 319 is the late WWII color. It will look GREAT on my err, I mean your Engineer Scraper.

Cheers

Thanks! BTW, I found out the diff housing holds 27 gals of 30w oil. Would you like to be a part owner?
