Hey Kenneth... There are couple of articles here on painting 3-color DCUs.

Take a look here:

my article

Epi's article

Anders' article

BTW, the difference between two sand colors is not that visible on older uniforms after they have been on the sun for a long time... so don't worry about not seeing the difference.

Hi Mario,

I and I suspect many of us are patiently awaiting the article you promised on how to paint that superb rendition of Woodland Cammo. You did promise you know.......................
