PM metro he posted some numbers for three shades used for wwii and the nimbers for the CUCV paint a while ago and I think Blaze (guy with the coatings) and him were working on some linner stuf in the green to.
I tried to look for his post but can't search no member yet. But some day....

olive drab aint really cucv era as far as i know, but earlier. If you want the milspec stuff try rapco, otherwise im not sure..
walmart huh? how much was it to do the whole truck?
about $100 or so. Took about a dozen cans to do the drab and another dozen for the tan for tube/interior
100! holy **** do they sell it in quarts?
I just bought rattle can, that was the amount to do body, cage, bumpers, front interior/dash etc. The exterior was about $50 to do the OD

Ya might be able to find CARC paint at an Army surplus place. I have seen generic olive drab spray paint at the regular Army-Navy stores before and I've seen the actual CARC gallons at a Army surplus equipment place that sells lots of CUCVs and surplus parts (last time I was there they had about 100 37" hummer tires, several CUCVs, a couple deuce and a halfs, and a Gama goat!). I don't know how nasty the CARC is to apply but, seems like once it's on it's pretty dang durable.

used about 10 cans on mine. didn't even paint the roof 
as already said. Walmart sells it. I also didn't do the door jambs or anything. JUST the outside. Never got around to finishing it
The start

I just painted the whole lower 1/2 of my K5. I used 2 Cans per side and a lil over 1 can for the back.
So 5.5 cans for the lower 1/2, so I could see how 10 cans would cover the whole truck.

Years ago we used to buy olive, oil base house paint thin it 2-1 with thinner and add 1/4 cup of Johnsons baby powder pr gal. shake well and spray.
I bought mine from Memphis Equipment. One gallon painted my whole '79 swb. http://www.memphisequipment.com/
rapcoparts.com is where I got mine. thinned with some xylene and then sprayed it on with a cheap spray gun.
