Default Olive drab

Has anyone ever painted your truck olive drab? Ive looked online and i can see is a raptor thats close to what i like. I see plastidip has "army green" but that covers a wide variety of shades putting that there. Just thinking of doing the body flat OD or flat "army green"

I did mine in OD. I just used krylon camo spraypaint. Came out pretty good. I sanded the whole truck down (220 grit) prepped it and then just sprayed away. Definitely not show quality but it'll do for me and my 17 year old budget lol

Let me know what you guys think of it! I plan on making a thread with some more pics soon!

Are you going for regular paint? Or plastidip?

Ive heard flat paint can come out splotchy.

I've only had it for a couple weeks no fading at all. We will see how it holds up. On jeep forum people used the same paint as me and had no fading after 2 years so thats why I chose this paint.
