Does anyone know what this color is called? and where I could get it, or what company is best to buy from as far as paint goes? I'm looking to either do a rattlecan paintjob on my jeep this color, or get a company to do a cheaper job for me, (cheaper because anything is a step up from what it is now)
Thanks Guys

Wal-Mart sells it in a rattle can... Should take 10 to 12 cans.

Overlandxj's rig, pm him and I'm sure he'll hook you up with the specifics on the paint, real good guy.

Thanks guys, and also thanks for the link to Overland's page, i pm'ed him and i'll see what the exact name of the color he used is, but olive drab sounds/looks about right.
Other than the movies I can't say I have ever seen a white star in the side of an actual military vehicle. Seems it would kind if defeat the purpose of painting it camouflage in the first place.

They didn't want Americans shooting at them, thinking they were Germans or Japanese.

Olive Drab is not considered "camo".. the addition of others to give the illusion of blending into it's surroundings is where the term camoflague came from. This is just OD..
Only one place to buy that particular shade, and shipping it is expensive with haz-mat fees in addition to regular shipping. But you can find the info here.

I have a a case of aerosol cans in this shade i might part with. Or you could order it by the gallon and have a shop paint it. Your cheapest option would be hitting a store and picking a shade you like somewhere.
