Yes, I like shiny Army trucks. Thats what we had in Germany in the sixties,
full gloss. I have five gallons I plan to use to paint my deucenahalf one
of these days.

is an epoxy color coat covered with polyurethane. The epoxy seems to do well
as a rust preventative and the clear coat provides ultraviolet protection as
well as ultimate hardness. I've used Rustoleum products in the past and they
work well.

olive drab. I would like to use something like a polyurethane clearcaot,
too, but RustOleum makes only a shiny version. Anybody know where I can get
a dull polyurethane that is as tough as RustOleum? We don't like shiny Army
trucks, do we?
