Painting my CUCV and need a paint source?

[kennyw]

I started sanding to see just how many layers of paint are actually on my truck today...

I can already tell this is going to take some time. Started wet sanding with 400 grit, but I think I need to step up to 200. Under the ugly rattle can Forest Green paint there is what looks like a layer of US Forest Service Green, then grey primer, then cammo (and no idea how many layers make up the cammo yet).

Anyone know where to find OD Green paint by the gallon that doesn't cost over $50-75/gallon? Napa wanted $185/gallon and the local auto paint supply wants $280/gallon. Local hardware store can't mix flat enamels either.

Thanks, thats a good link! Looks like ~$80 gets two gallons if I'm reading it right.

Plus you can get spray bombs, for easy touch ups.
