[MRCA] O.D. Paint query

[Chance Wolf]

Another vote for Gillespie paints. Single component industrial enamel that I've used since the 80s - weathers a lot better than the competition. The main problem with getting your local auto place to mix it up is that it'll be far too glossy out of the can (either as an enamel or more likely a urethane), and when I've had to use a bucket of flattening agent in the past - the colour match suffered accordingly. Mileage-may-vary. 

Sent from my iPhone. Probably because I'm outside wrestling wolves.

I've normally simply taken whatever I have to the local automotive paint dealer and had them color and texture match.  That said, they say they can batch paint to the Fed Spec/Fed Strip number.  Does anyone have the spec for the typical semi-gloss OD green used on 50's and 60's Signal Corps equipment, such as the GRC-19 and such?  Thanks.
