ok im trying to find a quart or two of olive drab green paint and i cant seem to find it anywhere. where could i be looking to find it. and i know that i could do it with rattle cans but if i do it the professional way i can get a grade in my autobody class and enter my jeep in to win a scholorship at the end of the year in our little car show. if yall can help it would be much appreciated. thanks

 

Where are you located?

Check the build section for my rig, theres a link to where i got my OD paint. I actually have alot left.

 

Just go to any automotive paint supply store and ask for flat olive drab paint. Most stores should be able to order some in for you.

If you want to try and get some extra credit in your end-of-the-year car show, try and find some polyurethane paint. It's about 15-20% more expensive than standard urethane paint, but you could tie it in with the fact that your Jeep is for offroading and polyurethane paint is designed to withstand lots of tough abuse (They use it on planes and semi-trucks). Might help in winning the scholarship.

 

Our local Wal-Mart AND our True Value hardware both stock quarts of OD flat paint.

Make sure you're asking someone who knows at the store. They should be able to help.

 

its not olive but this is what im using, and this is a gallon good luck on your project

 

heres olive

 

dont paint your jeep with latex based paint that would be bad

 

Try NAPA or hit the yellow pages for any auto body supply shop.
Just an opinion, but I usually stick with the NAPA stuff, DuPont or PPG.
