military brown paint????????

[hmer]

Does anyone here knows if there is any paint available similar to the one on the military H1 ????

You mean the tan or "desert sand" color?

I am sure you go to any painter and they can get it or mix it up
:)

Yeah the one dude i know and trust has only a small shop and had told me we can play mixing and get close to match it but i was thinking maybe someone here knew the code :D

[jsbihn]

hmer,
I would say that it is one of the following:

Federal Standard 595 numbers FS30277 (which I heard is exactly the Desert Storm color,but I heard this might be a discontinued color)

In case it is, the replacement could also be this
Federal Standard 595 Color FS 33446
based off the picture I saw, but then again it could be my computer

I also found this for you in case your buddy wants to mix paint

Military vehicles are painted with water dispersible CARC paint using Federal STD-595B color 33446 "Desert Tan." The performance and composition specification is MIL-DTL-64159 which defines Tan 686A, 33446 with these parameters:

Brightness Y 0.360 ? 0.400
Chromaticity x 0.368, Chromaticity y 0.364
Infrared min 62.0, and Infrared max 72.0

The same Desert Tan 33446 color is sometimes referred to as Tan 686 or Tan 686A. As an alternative, if 33446 Tan is not available, Sand 30277 or Sand 33303 are sometimes used. The Desert Tan 33446 paint is available in quite a few types of packaging (from 55 gal. drums to spray cans) and is also formulated as other types of paint than CARC.

Hope this helps

You're welcome.
I know if I had a H1, it would definitely be painted up desert style. I kinda miss those days in the "sand box" at times.
(or at least getting to drive the HumVee)

Holy ****!!! They must be a marijuana state, too.

It's a great looking truck but the price is insane! even for a low mileage Alpha....I also believe that truck was one of the Hummer driving academy trucks, if thats the case thats a hard 11k miles on that car.
