But....
Does anyone have a Home Despot or Lowz exterior latex paint code?
Vietnam era 24087
or
24084

I am looking for the semi-gloss ODs.
I don't have any semi-gloss parts to have them scan.
DOes anyone know if I take them a flat OD part to scan, then they mix it with a semi-gloss base, will it be the same?

It is either a semi-gloss green or I am gonna shoot it with a really cool gloss orange....

Thanx in advance.

I will let my avitar explain my look.........Latex?...........................why not buy the enamel paint that is the right color?

Rapco or Army Jeep Parts are both dealers for Gillespie paint.

And almost as cheap as house paint when you spread the Haz-mat charge over 4 gallons.

Two answer your question about is the flat OD and making it semigloss - not really, while in THEORY the color is identified by the last four digits of the FS number, the reality is the FS 595A 24087 is one of the few exceptions to this rule - FS 34087 is NOT the same color.

There is a stick at the top of the deuce forum that goes into detail about the importances of specifying FS 595, FS595A and FS595B (currently, the standard is FS595B - BUT that is changing in the next few months.)

As for "why latex rather than enamel" - I presume you are painting the wooden components with latex and trying to match the enamel of the steel components?
