I have an M-715 that I would like to restore to look as original as =
possible. I know all the early ones were painted Olive Drab Semi-Gloss, =
but I was wondering if they ever painted them Forest Green lusterless or =
Woodland Camo? My preference would be to paint it Woodland Camo, so if =
any of these trucks were ever painted that way I would like to find the =
correct pattern to paint it. Otherwise, my second choice would be a flat =
color like Forest Green, if that is a color that was ever used on M-715s.

Also, I am looking for any information on recreating the Military markings =
on these trucks (the original markings are long gone). I would appreciate =
any info on units where M-715s were assigned and how to get info on =
appropriate Unit & ID numbers. I've seen ads for people that make the =
stencils for the lettering, stars, etc. -- does anyone have experience =
with these?

Finally, does anyone have recommendations on paint suppliers? I have =
heard of Aervoe -- is this a good brand or would I be better off having =
PPG or DuPont mixing the colors? =

Thanks in advance,
Drew
