Paint comes one color in a can and that is how I paint my vehicles, one color. And that color is OD, not sand! I was never into the camo look. It came out after my time and it is more complicated to paint and to maintain.

HTN,
I will check to see if I have one, seems like I sent a couple to WC Matt, someone had put grease alemites in them, they were the small thread alemite, a little JB Weld and some paint, you would never know it. Hambone
