Re: finding gallons of "military" paint colors
If you are looking for the correct military Paint , then GCI Gellespi Coatings is the company that supplies the correct paint and correct primer , I believe they also a relationship with the PPG Ameron line of heavy duty coatings ,
I have used there paint and primers and they are excellent coatings and very very reasonable in price if you deal directly with them. They are a texas based company that has been around a very long time and all serious military restore guys used there products , If I remember the color you are looking for is called Luster Less Sanddust dont remember the paint code number though. I have been using there Primer and Paint coatings on all my frames for years and never had a issue with the paints durabilty . |

Re: finding gallons of "military" paint colors
Google , Gellespie Coatings Inc. they have paint charts on there website or you can call them at 903-753-0393 , But it seems that site you found is the paint that they produce GCI is (Gellespie Coatings Inc ) $78.00 seems a fair price ,but I would also check in to the Primers that GCI recomends for that paint code you have posted
