Need advice from the masters of the matte green paint job

[Southeast Overland]

I'm working on a semi-restoration of Pig to use as a trail rig. See my thread in the Piggie forum at https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=136996. I want to maintain the two color paint scheme. I am very happy with Rustoleum Canvas White gloss for the white but I need a rattle can color for the lower half and roof of the truck. I've tried seven different colors and am not happy with any of them. Six have been blues and one a matte light green. What do y'all think about a matte/camo/dark green for the lower and roof areas and a gloss white for the middle/door areas?

Thanks guys.

Don't know much of nothin bout them other colors you mentioned, but ODG would look good on the pig. I mean, ODG trucks are like titties, you see one, well you want to see more.























































But in all seriousness, ODG with a white beltline/roof would look m'kay.

LOL. I'm leaning towards the ODG (excuse my ignorance of proper terminology my good sir.) I'm going to pick up some paint today and spray my fenders and front valence. I'll post up pics in the Pig forum.

Thanks.

ODG is always the best option for a truck ... I would hesitate to mix it two-tone style with a gloss color though.

Maybe flat-white for the one part and then ODG for the other would be better. Then again what the hell do I know ...

To hell with the paint ... just wheel the damn thang.

Painted a fender - ODG lower and off-white upper. I like it. See pic @ https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=136996.

I did. Admittedly, very poorly, but I did wheel it.

That pic reminds me - I'm about to fix the passenger drip rail. POR + hammer + vice grips = amazing things.

Yeah, that roof rack worked against me in more ways than one on that day. That and I needed more gravity. Less gravity? Gravity was an issue also.

What do expect, its a Pig and as Ardenne says, I'm awake or asleep so wood it is.

did a little wheeling this past weekend - ODG worked great - can't see all the southern pin stripping! - but you can on a bud's 80.

ETA - tailgate will be fixed this weekend.
