Hadn't seen this before. Just in time for me to fix some rust this summer.

This will hopefully be a better (closer) match than the paint I'm buying at the hobby shop.
Thanks for the heads up.
I presume others have used this paint and had good results?

I get mine at WalMart.
Krylon camouflage Ultra-Flat 4293 olive, for 4.95 for a rattle can.
It is not a perfect match but looks better than the kisses left by the rocks and bushes. I keep one in the tool box for emergencies.
Eventually all of it will match.
Same thing at Ace Hardware for 6.95.

I picked up a couple cans from SAV. Tested it on a few spots on my 712 today. The color is a good "average" between the shades on my truck. Of course it is much darker than the faded paint. Compared to the unfaded paint (under plates, decals) it was a little lighter and a little more olive in color than the deep green of the ambulance box. Overall it is a good shade to use if you are working back towards the original unfaded color.
Thanks for the info Bryan, but for now I am looking at rattle can paint. The paint from SAV is made in Germany and probably is the bundeswehr RAL6014.
The color of 24087 changed with the different federal standards.
595A-24087 is not the same as the current 595B-24087. Actually, the old 24087 is the same color as the new 24084.
I ordered some sample cans of the $5 Gillespie paint in various shades of semi-gloss OD and Marine Corps forest green to see what I liked.

Playing around with the Gillespie colors I found their 24087 to be too brown. The 23070 WWII semi-gloss olive drab looked darn close to the SAV color. I may go with 24052 Marine Corps forest green on the spare ambulance box that's getting turned into a camper.
interesting color code page
