I Fell In Love !!!

While surfing the net, I ran into the following picture. I am nuts about this truck, and am pretty sure I am going to paint the '39 Dodge a lot like it. This thing just does it for me.

OMG!!!!!!!
That truck is awesome!

 

[donsrods]

I know. It just stopped me in my tracks, and I said outloud, whoa !!

I don't know what that color is, but I'm going to find out.

That is a very kool color.

 

[Gastrick]

Yep Don. I'd have to agree that that truck is cool and so is the color. I don't know what brand of paint you use Don but if you go to the paint store and ask to see the PPG "fleet" color chart, you'll be surprised at the array of color choices that are available there. I would guess that you could find a similar color on that chart and then add a flattening agent to it.

The truck is great. But that color...polished Army green...(shudder). Actually, the color is called "Olive Green". What's on Army vehicles is "Olive Drab".

that dreaded OD GREEN lol.
nice looking truck tho.

 

[FlatBroke]

Don,
that is an awsome truck, thanks for posting it.

I think Lakota hit the nail on the head, looks like Olive Drab green to me too.

I'm not gonna touch that line...

 

[Gastrick]

I'm gonna be in the minority here fellas, but I don't think that truck is o.d.

 

[russty]

donsrods I like that truck. As for the color I'm gonna call it s.o. green (shiney olive green).

 

[Bonehead]

I have the cab sittin behind my shop.

I love the fact that it is not black, not that black is a bad color. The green is way hotter. That truck would not hit as hard if it was black. You can go through the PPG paint book and get the satin or flat additive to what ever color you like.

Nice find.

Dupont also has a very good fleet selction.

 

[donsrods]

You know, it does look like OD sorta. I don't know what it is about this truck, but I even like the slots on it. When I get ready to do the '39 I am going to hit those fleet charts you guys mentioned. The purple I painted my '27 with is a Dupont Fleet color. Used on some ice cream trucks in New Jersey, I understand.

That color is actually an original Ford color. I painted a 27 3window buggy last year that color. its concidered an industrial forrest green that was originally used on the 1.5 tons and larger.
Found it for $85.00 per gallon with a 3 part mix in Dupont.
