Application
Applied to American military vehicles and equipment from 1941 to mid-1944. This lusterless (completely matt) Olive Drab shade was the standard factory paint in this period and replaced the earlier gloss army green paint from the 1930s.
Installation notes
Thoroughly prepare and prime surface with suitable automotive primer. Reduce paint if necessary with max 10% xylene, xylol or synthetic enamel reducer. Apply preferably with spray gun. Drying time: touch dry 10-20 min, tack-free approx. 4 hours, fully cured after 6-7 hours. If paint has been stored for long periods: scrape bottom and place on paint shaker for 10 minutes before use.
Compatibility
Please note: there are different Olive Drab shades from the war. This paint (1941-44) has a completely matt lusterless finish and differs from the later semi-gloss variant (AJP / 2430) which was used from mid-1944. The 33070 shade is generally slightly greener than the later 319 specification. For post-war vehicles (Korea, Vietnam) different shades apply.
Historical context
From 1941, the American army standardised the Olive Drab colour with a new lusterless (matt) enamel formula according to specification QM Colour 22, later designated 33070 or 319. This matt finish provided better camouflage than the earlier gloss paint and was used until mid-1944.
