Thanks Dave-I'll take a look at AJP. First I'd heard of them.

Then again so doesnt just about every top notch durable paint out there.
I swear by epoxies and I've sprayed them for years. The chemicals are very toxic.
The Military use to love MEK until guys started twitching (more than normal).
The better(the paint) the badder(it is for you).
IMRON is as bad as it gets. I have sprayed cars, trucks and airplanes with it for years.
When painting like a pro you must protect yourself like a pro.
If you arent using the proper air supplied gear and clothing you are asking for bad health problems. If you dont like your wifes poodle keep him in the garage with you.
Some of the absolute best most durable coatings avail are right under your noses.
Most people have heard of Loc-Tite products IE: thread locker etc.
They make some of the most bullet proof durable (brushable) epoxy coatings for frames and high wear areas. Many of them have ceramic solids and resins.
I work in the water and wastewater business as well as restored vehicles for 23 years and enjoy testing out products like these.
As far as paint, I would just take a sample to the body and paint supply store and have them mix up some single stage urethane. They will add flattening agent to the finish you desire. No need to search all over for some special supplier. Anyone can mix up the color.
OK I'm done blabbing.

Well said about the protection! I don't get near the paint booth in my shop without some fresh air. If I don't, I get a nasty headache and feel bad for several days after.....

My local NAPA can mix up pretty much anything if I bring in a color chip and my guy there said he can do the OD for my M. You may want to look in that direction.........I seem to recall someone else saying in another thread that there is a Chrysler color that is very close to the original Army OD when the flattener is added.
