Re: Opinions Needed On Color Choice
The Forrest Green one above is fantastic.
Check out this '40 COE. It's my absoute favorite for the earlier-than-Task Force trucks. I think its quite close to Army Drab-Not! ![]() ![]() |

Re: Opinions Needed On Color Choice
i gotta say - i likes the greens too - here's one of my faves...
But it's also hard to beat a DARK blue. So many colors, so few trucks (in my garage, that is)... |

Re: Opinions Needed On Color Choice
Every single shiny paint job will show everything and anything. You like the black and the olive green, so why not do the fenders in black and the body and grill in the green. Instead of gloss go semi-gloss, the semi will show less obvious marks than full gloss will and it will set it apart from the other thousands of trucks out there.
