6.0.8 Paint
The GPW body was finished in dead flat synthetic olive drab enamel. The early GPWs* were painted a shade of OD which has a pronounced green hue when compared to the brown tone of FS #34087. Flat OD paint is extremely prone to grease stains, “polished” areas from contact with clothing, etc. and scratches. When GPWs were delivered from the factory, standard equipment included a fair number of grease stains and points should not be deducted for stains that resemble those which would have resulted from factory assembly. The finish should however be free of scratches or other wear that would appear to be the result of regular use since the standard is a vehicle as delivered from the factory.
* No documentation has been uncovered to date concerning a change in body color, however this green hued paint color has been observed on numerous GPWs from 3/42 through 4/43.
