Some of you may remember -- I have "original" cans of WW2 OD used on the
Vehicles. I have been using it on my jeeps for years. It is DARKER than most
may think. That lighter 24087 used is not really what I would call WW2
color. I used to like it - until I used the real thing.
I sent some color samples to a few people ..and they were amazed on how dark
it was. BUT -- in the sun - over time - it fades a bit to about the color of
the 24087.. strange...?? Wonder why they went to the 24087.??? :-)
