I agree 100%. I have used the Randolph Coatings 24084 for years now and it
looks a good on a 5 year old job as it does 1 month after it is painted.
The color matches perfectly to original items from the 60's and 70's also.
It is still available in the Federal supply system and is available for
Supply Sgt's to order when they need that color for paint work that has to
be in the official SG OD Green. It sprays well too when thinned with Dupont
Enamel reducer or Xylene.

I just used Randolf Products 24084 and I'm never going back to Aervoe or
Gillespie. Like the old Bell helmet adverts, "if you have a $30 resoration
then use a $30 paint." The Feds changed the numbers on the paint fomulas in
the 1980's, so, by the current standard, 24084 is the old 24087 and that is
why Gillespie is too brown. Gillespie uses the current fomula, i guess.
Aervoe's color is a better match but they also changed their fomula. I
painted a jeep with it several years ago and when i went to touch it up last
year with new Aervoe the paint did not match. They have made it more green
and a little lighter.
