Ok, got another question. I saw a jeep on google with a flat OD green paintjob. Would anyone know how to go about doing this? Rattle can? Actual paint?

I wanna get the OD green body, grill, and match the steel wheels. Kind of like a badass military vehicle.

Thanks for the input.

That's what I was thinkin too. But is there anything special besides sanding/priming? And I'm thinking of goin satin, because from what i've read, flat colors can look shoddy if not done right.

You gotta sift through the pics, but the green one is Krylons Olive, walmart was the cheapest place to get it.https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f33/pi...eb-21-a-38200/

I just painted over the herculiner, but you could just follow the simple steps, sand,then clean then prime then paint.
