Olive Drab (BS298) Matt – 2.5L High-Quality Military Vehicle Paint
Genuine MOD Contractor Supply | Single Pack Synthetic Alkyd | Zero-Glare Finish
The Classic WWII Allied Olive Drab
Recreate the unmistakable look of Second World War Allied transport with our Olive Drab (BS298) Matt. BS381C-298 is the British Standard match for the olive drab adopted on British vehicles from 1944 (SCC 15) and closely associated with the American Jeeps, Dodges and GMC trucks of the same era. Supplied by the current MOD contractor, this professional-grade Synthetic Alkyd Enamel gives a flat, period-correct finish that stands up to real use.
The 2.5L tin is the restorer's favourite: enough for a trailer, a Land Rover tub, wheels and bumpers, or several smaller equipment projects.
Key Features & Technical Specs

Hard-Wearing: Resists abrasion, weather and the knocks of off-road, workshop and agricultural use.
ISO 9001 Quality Assured: Made under a strict quality system for consistent colour batch to batch.
Performance & Application
Single Pack: No hardeners or mixing ratios. Stir well and apply.
Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Use: For steel and iron, and suitably prepared non-ferrous metals as part of a full system.
Easy Touch-Ups: The flat finish blends well for repairs, making it practical for working vehicles.
Ideal For:
WWII Vehicle Restoration: The go-to colour for Willys and Ford Jeeps, Dodge WC series, GMC CCKW trucks and late-war British soft-skins in SCC 15.
Re-enactment & Living History: Ideal for trailers, jerry cans, ammo boxes and camp kit that need to match period vehicles.
