Re: Hemi's 70 Blazer build

I'm a real military buff and would have loved to paint it flat drab olive, but then everything on the truck would have to blacked out and needless to say any flat colours (color for my American friends) are extremely difficult to maintain. I knew I wanted a solid colour, and driving home one day I spotted a 2015 Jeep which from far away looked black. It was actually a real dark olive green, and although it was shiny, it still had that military look to it.
It's called "Tank" green, and although the paint formula says there's metal flake in it, it's in such a low amount that you can't even see it.
I had a buddy photoshop a Blazer with it and it looked good especially with the black soft top.
I'm a couple of weeks away from having to buy the paint, and so far I can't seem to be able to talk myself out of it.
It would be different, but not so different that it would make it stand out.
