Phil, A lot of guys don't sandblast that original lead paint off. I left as much of the original primer and paint on my wc-12 that was good. They don't make paint like that old stuff anymore. You can't beat the protection it gives the metal. I then preped with primer and used that Gillespie olive drab enamel. Thay have many shades of olive drab, but I chose 34087 which is a "kaki" WW2 flat paint. Its cheap and I love the look, and its easy as hell to put on. Get a Military Vehicles Magazine, there are many paint suppliers in there. Good luck with the project.
