★ Authentic restoration paint for correct finish of WWII vehicles according to late war specifications. The No. 319 colour was introduced in 1943 and replaced the earlier No. 9, with improved properties against weathering and infrared detection.
Application
Suitable for restoration and maintenance of American military vehicles and equipment from the period 1944-1945. Olive Drab No. 319 was the standard finish for US Army and USMC vehicles from 1943 until the end of WWII, when it was replaced in August 1945 by No.
Installation notes
Apply to a well-prepared, clean and grease-free surface. For optimum adhesion, it is recommended to first apply a suitable primer. The lusterless finish lies between fully matt and high gloss – this is the correct semi-gloss finish as originally specified.
Compatibility
Please note: Olive Drab No. 319 (1944-1945) is virtually identical in shade to the earlier No. 9 (1941-1943), but contains different pigments for better UV and infrared resistance. Post-war colours such as 24087 or 34087 differ and are not suitable for WWII restorations. The finish must be lusterless (semi-gloss), not fully matt and not high gloss.
Historical context
Olive Drab No. 319 was introduced with the Specification 3-1 update in 1943 and was the standard colour for American army vehicles until August 1945. The improved formula offered better protection against weathering and detection than earlier variants.
