What year is your vehicle again, and what period do you intend to portray? If it's D-Day you'd be safe with No.2 (Dog Turd) Brown with mickey mouse pattern camouflage in Very Dark Brown/asphalt (slightly lighter than black). If late fall 1944 or later, you can go with the American Olive Drab, the same WW2 jeep guys use, and no need for camouflage.
My CMP is a '42 and I'm planning on a D-Day impression so the No.2 Brown in Mickey mouse is probably the way to go. Any ideas on a good place to find this paint? Thanks for the info.
