Ok,Thanks! Now I get it. Guess it helps to read more thoroughly. That first picture looks like Dark Olive & White on my 'puter and I saw Medium Olive in the text and figures many people confuse the colors and think Medium is "light" and Dark is "medium".
Although the Medium Olive would look good,it just gives a "wrong way" or old feller got a hold of some paint look,IMO. I dunno,it's just me. I had a Medium Olive truck I painted the wheels Rallye wheel Silver on and it looks great...and as if it was factory...unless you knew better ('69s had silver wheels). For the sake of argument,that might be a great compromise.

Here's the ole work truck. Not the same deal,but gives an idea how silver works w/Medium Olive Poly
