Ok need some more advice...I got 10 days off starting Tuesday so I guess that would be prime time to paint the jeep. The current paint is from an air force base and it had some streaks and chips in it and it's looking rough...need some color ideas...I'm thinking a dark semi flat od green...but am open to other things...I'll be rattle canning it and I'd like to think I'm pretty damn good at using a spray can...let me know what you all think
