Looking for Camo paint schemes...
Looking at painting my 67 M38A1 in the right camo scheme. Is it the 2 or 3 colour pattern?? As well, does anyone have the details for painting an M100 to match?

The M series of that vintage were painted a 3 color cam. The colors were flat black, olive green, and flat green. On the cam scheme shown below, 1 is olive, 2 is black, and 3 is green.
Here is a side view of my jeep showing the cam pattern. I have the patterns at home for the M series vehicles, including the trailers. Unfortunately I am wintering in warmer climates right now, but should be back home in January in case nobody else details the patterns. I recently noticed that Aaardvark surplus in Ontario has original 3 color cdn cam paint in the gallons. It is likely getting pretty stale by now, but with enough mixing, could be made to work. There are some colors available from the US that will also come close. For the flat black I just use the tremclad flat black. Last edited by rob love; 14-11-09 at 16:33. |

On the topic of paint...
I'm posted to Gagetown and have a buddy who can get me a great deal on sandblasting my M151A2. Since i'm gonna have much more spare time than I do now, i'm thinking of going through with it and getting the body as cleaned up as possible. My intent then is to paint it in exactly the same process that it would have been originally, starting at the factory, then finally the 3 Colour IRR Cam Pattern and stenciling it had prior to disposal. The factory part is easy, as the Body was Semi-Gloss OD inside and out, and the Power Pack and Diffs were Flat Black. From looking at the 1 Service Battalion M151A2 I have, it was roughly masked and then painted a Base IRR Colour, followed by the remainder of the Cam Pattern. The underside (bottom, wheelwells etc) and Engine Compartment were left Semi-Gloss OD. Just the "exposed" portions of the Body were painted in IRR including the Interior. So my question is, what Colour should the IRR Base Coat be? Looking at mine, its very hard to tell wether it was IRR OD or Flat Green: Lastly, from the experienced painters, how many Gallons would I be looking at to: Do the complete Body in Semi-Gloss OD inside and out, Exterior Base Coat in the IRR Colour required, and For the remainder of the IRR Cam. Thanks Scotty
