I'm hoping that someone here knows a really good match for these two vehicle colors:
#1) The color used on the 1982 MOBAT, 1982 MMS, 1982 JUMP, 1982 HAL and 1983 Wolverine. All were all approximately (if not exactly) the same color green. Edit: it appears that Krylon Hosta Leaf or Italian Olive may be the closest matches for these vehicles. From the photos I looked at, Hosta Leaf looks better, but I'll have to look at both in person before making a choice. #2) The color used for the 1982 VAMP, 1982 RAM, 1985 Armadillo, 1986 HAVOC and 1987 SLAM. Again, all of these vehicles were really close to the same color. Last edited by Sgt Humpty; 03-10-2012 at 03:55 AM.. |

I don't have those vehicles in front of me, but you might could try Games Workshops (Citadel) Catachan Green. It's a tad darker and richer than Tamiya OD Green. Of course, to cover any large area would be very pricey.

Is it available in spray cans? I'm open to suggestions, but it must be in a spray can, to satisfy my needs in terms of vehicle painting.

Damn Darth good one, Marauders Blue is necessary. Like most I was planning on making a SM Mutt and need the closest blue.

Thanks for the tips, I have been looking for an old school GI Joe vehicle green (light and dark) and the Cobra blue for a long time. I will have to check these out.
