I'm thinking of flat green for my 42 but scared to go that route without seeing what it would look like first. Anyone have any pics?
Any flat green 40's out there? (1 Viewer)

Just take a look at the Boys from Elwood, Texas. Theirs are actually O.D. green, but it is basicall the same color.

Good call on the colour, I think flat green would look outstanding on a 40 series.....and would like to see some examples as well. What shade of green are you considering?.....olive drab/military-esque or something @ the other end of the spectrum. For simplicity/ease, I reckon I will go this route on my 55 -just one solid color rather than the two tone. Time will tell.

I like the look of the G-Wagons, so this is what I'm going for. I don't want to worry about scratching a fresh paint job on the trails either, so this seems like the best idea. I assume OD and flat green are the same.
Do a search for landcruiserjunky's rig.
olive drab/military would look cool, what do ya think about keeping the top and bezel white for a little offset? I mean the top of the top, not the whole top. Or you could just go with the Ted Nugent zebra stripe! LOL!

lol I'll let Ted keep that one. I want to keep the roof white and see how it looks. White roofs are part of what makes a 40 stand out. I'm not sure about the bezel though. I was thinking flat or semi-gloss black. I really like the look of black fenders like the new heeps too. When it's finally time to spray, I'll paint them the same colour as the truck but I'd like to get MT tube fenders in the future and might try black with them. I just like the green and black combo like the G-Wagon.
"Snotz" was shiny at one time, but time and weather flattened her out.
Here are a couple OD Green rigs I saved from MUD:

This is exactly what I'm going for. Thanks. Is that a grey grill or is it just the lighting?
That's 653, Olive Green.

Love those green cruisers guys!! With the top on, mine looks like a smurfs mushroom house The wife bitches every time I talk about OD green . She likes smurf blue, it's alright I guess, but the green really looks good to me.
