Hi Saw,
I love the look of your jeep!
What is the color and paint type you have used?
Can you get it in Germany?
Thanks

Pascal,
Take care. Here in Germany we have another forum with a discussion of paint manufactured (?) and delivered by Militaerlacke. It would be a good advise to order as much as you need (and a little bit more for later repairs) because the color can vary. I was thinking of buying paint from them for my Deuce and a Half restoration and stopped the idea while a friend of mine (he is owning his own paint shop) will try to mix the paint by himself.
Regards,
Richard

Thanks Richard.
When Saw referred me to that company, I realized that I had already been dealing with them in the past.
In fact, I did two of my 151's with their paint - 1 MERDC and 1 MASSTER scheme.
They both came out great. I have now ordered the OD in both spray cans and regular paint.
I just need them for touch ups - hope I will not mess up things with it...
They also issue a warning/advice about not using their paint on sufaces that were treated with other manufacturer's coatings...guess that is just a sales talk. At least I hope so because I do not intend to buy primer etc from them.
Will let you guys know when I'm done.
Anyway, I think it looks really good on Saw's jeep!
Cheers,
Pascal

You sold it? I saw it for sale in Germany for about 2 days and it's gone already!
