Hi all,

I'm about to get our Mark III 3.7" AA gun blasted and repainted. It's sat outside in salt air for decades at Aberdeen and is in somewhat rough shape. It needs a good cleaning up, repair and repaint. However, our paint shop here only works with Federal Standard paint chips. Is there an FS equivalent for British Bronze Green, or as close an approximation as possible? Or, since the gun was manufactured by GE, is it safe to assume it was US OD?

Thanks guys!

Jon

According to IPMS Stockholm, its FS:34094, see page 5 of their Federal Standard Conversion Table.

I do not know if it's correct or not.

Thanks Jeff!

That looks about right. Can't get to the IPMS Stockholm website on my work computer, but I looked at the color chip when I got home. Thanks very much!

Jon
