Hi all,
just want to make my life little bit easier.
Do you by any chance have a good color match (Vallejo or Tamiya colors would be perfect) for the US modern jerry cans? In particular I mean the...
Pinkish tan for 20L water cans
Brownish dark color for 20L fuel cans
Green for 20L fuel cans
Thanks a lot for any feed back

There is paint available to the public made to US military specs.

Don't know if any of them would fit your needs or if they would need a protective primer on plastic.

I use XF-57 Buff for water cans and XF-52 Flat Earth for fuel cans. I think that XF-67 might be a good match for greem cans.

I like to use Vallejo Iraqi Sand for the water cans and Chocolate Brown for the fuel cans.
