new paint

[willy]

I'm planning to repaint my Army M715 and want to go with the original color, can anyone recommend a commercially available option that has worked well ?

Rapco sells Gillespie 24087 which is the original army color. If you want Marine green go with the 24052.

Kwai, a case of spray cans of the 24052 Marine Corp Semi gloss Forest green is what I need.

I second this, as will several other people, this is some good paint! I bought both the paint in the cans, as well as some aerosol cans for touch up, very pleased with it.

Seeing that you are in PA, it might be cheaper to get your Gillespie paint through http://www.armyjeepparts.com/ as they are also in PA. If you are close enough, you could go over and pick it up yourself and save having to pay the hazardous shipping fees. As far as the paint goes, I've had nothing but excellent luck with painting my vehicles with the Gillespie brand paints. My 715 has had Gillespie paint on it since Feb. 05' and looks just as good as the day I painted it. And I drive it quite offten in the summer to work where is sits outside in front of my shop. I'm just getting ready to spary the Dodge M37 I bought with Gillespie 24087 so that it will match into the fleet I have going now.
