Title: Color of 50 cal ammo can
Post by: philipgslattery on December 03, 2025, 01:21:04 AM

i am refurbishing a 50 cal ammo can for the halftrack.Can someone suggest  the correct  paint color. It is not OD - seems to be close to the USMC green.I don't need much, so a model paint might suffice.Thanks.

TM9 Ordnance makes a semi-gloss OD for WWII munitions cans.  You can find it here:
