What color would a 5 ton in iraq be? Also what color would the add-on armor be? The problem is I would like to stay away from rust color and camo unless anyone could help me with that.

Thanks,
Evan

Both sand and camo 5 tons were/are in Iraq. Not many are on the roads any more (if any) though. They are too lightly armored and ineffective against IEDs. They have been replaced by MRAPS.

Unless you are building one w/the factory produced add-on armor kit, any sheet steel armor (Hardox) will have a rusty coating since it is bare metal.
