I just recently came across a M-100 jeep trailer that had an interesting
paint job. It was painted Air Force Strata blue with yellow markings.
It also had zinc chromate primer under the blue. A stencil noted that
the trailer had been "winterized" by undercoating the entire underside
of the trailer. Needless to say the trailer was saved from rust out by
these two factors. It's also interesting to note that most MV's are
restored to army markings, often neglecting the other services. I would
say that USMC is next in popularity, with navy being next, then USAF. I
don't think i've ever seen a USCG restored MV!
