yeah, I was looking at that. I just hope that my local hardware store(s) will have the army green in stock!

Also. I was thinking.. should I paint the whole k5 Green, or should I repaint the top White ?

I use krylon fusion camouflage olive drab.

It's lays down really nice is super fast drying and you don't need a primer.

Heres a couple of my rig

Do whatever you think looks good, its your truck.

Look around on here at different paint jobs for ideas.
If you have access to a compressor that can keep up skip the rattle cans and spray it. A cheap harbor freight spray gun and rustoleum by the quart will be cheaper and look better than rattle cans.

[supermotard750]

i did it last weekend filled up before i left, it took about 20 gallons of 91, about 100 bucks, drove out used about 6-7 gals. filled again when i got there about 30 bucks, camped for 2 nights and did a little wheeling between breaking and made it home with 1/4 tank left

I used Krylon Italian Olive on mine... It's satin not flat...

Back in the 80s the 1 gallon cans we used to paint gama goats with said "forrest green" on them. Then came "CARC" paint and we were not allowed to paint HMMWVs any longer.

You better use an HVLP gun.....

It'll be cheaper than 50 rattle can's....

Wally World has the Krylon, or at least they used to.

Also, it only takes 50 cans if you count primer and you're doing a crew cab:

Since the Blazer is smaller, you should need less paint.
