Exactly. Keep in mind, there's no right or wrong Olive Drab. Just choose what works for you. Believe me, I have several Olive Drab colors…If it is listed or marked as Olive Drab, I think so. Not putting myself out there as some sort of expert, but close is good enough in this case.
If you buy a jar of olive Drab form 4 different companies, you might end up with 5 different shades
Most likely it's Olive drab with Green drab, or Dark green."Olive Drab" is a hard color to nail down, arguably one of the worst. I've seen photographs of aircraft painted with the exact FS# have at least a dozen different variations on the skin after time in service.
I cannot explain all the details of why, but part of it is the "flat" nature of the paint. It is just more affected (damaged) by sun and rain than bare metal or some other paints would be.
In this case there are clearly two different green used, but look within those colors and see all the little variations?

I guess the point is, with Olive Drab, more so than other colors, there's a large window of what is considered correct.
Okay... Im disabled and just now learning to buy things on line and this scared me.Discontinued means they're no longer available. You will not be charged for it since you're not gonna receive it.
No need to be concerned. Word has it they're phasing out the glass bottles and switching to dropper bottles. Old news going back in July 2024.Whiskey Tango !?! I just ordered this USMC Green product and was checking on the link I posted in here and THIS MIGHT BE A PROBLEM??! Should I be worried about buying a DISCONTINUED product?

Impatient aintcha? I do have a full time job aA well as family and other priorities comes first.Where's the pics you promised?
Okay. I do want to try the USMC GREEN Color on either my JLTV-GP or the Helicopter. I hope I like it. I'm kind of left here in the dark for the moment so when God comes back He will lead me in the way I should paint. He leaves me alone from time to time and He trusts me to do good things while he is gone.... I wonder if I got the last glass jar of USMC Green?No need to be concerned.
