    I know this usualy comes up in ref to 8Rs and or 111Xs, but....

    Mine is a wee chipped on the back/bottom edge, the one that it always slams down on when readying to open. and I noticed that the colour was similar, but a lil lighter than U.S.M.C. O.D. green.
    any one have a finger on that particular source and or paint?

    Go to your model store and match up from the small pots of paint used for models. If a larger area need painting use a spray can.

    There's a time and place for everything, i guess.

    These colors come ready in spray-cans - in Germany, at least.
    I would really suggest semigloss to you.
