OD Army
OD Marines
Stratos blue
Haze gray
Hull White

Have fun with this. The color formulation spec changed and the color code numbers didn't. Arguing "correct" color is almost as good as an oil thread.

I shot my truck, a '52, with the incorrect 24087 semi-gloss green, not a flat paint, so the water tends to run off better than from a flat paint. It is a moderatly dark paint, and has weathered well for the past two years. I bought my version from Gillespie. Thinned with Xylene. A picture of my truck shows the paint.

I just contacted Midwest Military and bought the paint they make for 1952. I'm sure they know and have it.
