Frank,
I am having some mixed to the PPG code Jes suggested. This is yet to be seen. I found much information on mil code 24087 & it seems to boil down to two shades as you indicated. The dividing point according to some is before & after Viet Nam.

Robin,
I know what you mean regarding the scanner system. It cannot handle flat or semi-gloss paint. & I recently went through the same process trying to match the shiny paint on a dark green1911 Cadillac. The scanner code was completely off shade. It seems green is particularly difficult to match as well.


Incidentally, yesterday I performed step one in the manual on replacing the front brake pads on the truck; it simply states "remove engine" !
