Hi all,

I am overseas at the moment, but Dad is about to spray the moke. I am after the colour code for Drab Olive please.

Cheers
Chris

matt or gloss?

Some Australian military vehicles used the US gloss olive drab whilst others used matt. Desert pink was also used.

Sorry I am late with this but looking trough the Dulux book I have found Olive Drab in the BSC (British Standard Colours?) section (It has lots of official British colours)
The Dulux shade number is 00941 and the BSC code is 298 and it is listed in the BSC 381c series.

The trouble with the Dulux books is that the colours are not indexed by name they are indexed by Car Manufacturer>Year>Colour name and also by Shade number. This makes it very hard (but not impossible) to just look for a certain colour by just the shade name. But we got there in the end! :lol:

I have just looked through the book searching by the Dulux shade number and have also found it listed in the "Fleet" colours section.
