Does anybody have a formula on what colors and quantity to mix rustoleum paint together to get the green our trucks are? I'm looking to just paint frame and axles for now.

download_20161013_141144.jpgDeep forest green looks good, but it isn't a match.

The picture is an M105A2 with 2014 CARC on it. The welder is fresh deepnforest green .

Behr housepaint may get you closer to 383 green.

Maybe someone else will chime in with more and better info..

I've not found a rustoleum green that is close, the camo brown and camo black are great though. I've been using the gillespie carc 383 substitute and will be playing with the Behr paint soon so check into those instead.

If seen on the internet where people mix 2 cans of gloss dark hunter green to 1 can of the brown rusty primer. Makes what they are calling an OD green. But od green isn't 383 green.
