I truely wouldn't worry about the primer shades. I have seen many shades peering through paint scratches on original painted equipment. They range from bright red to the typical primer red. Don't get caught up in primers. As for colors. There is an excellent reference for original colors called "Weh...

The below link is a before and after from an old post. If I remember correctly, I Used acetone and an M16 cleaning brush. I kept brushing in circles. The green came off pretty easy and the tan laughed at the acetone.

I'd have to agree with Dennis here. I was under the impression that he was just listing a hodge podge of 34 and 42 stuff from different nations. But, then he clearly labels certain items as postwar when quite a few of the other stuff is too. None the less, the site is a great reference to 34 and 42 ...

That ammo can sure is pretty...very nice. The greens are so close. It could also be Grün 6007 or Olivegrün 6003. As for the Apfelgrün...ehhhhh..not sure what to say. I'd like to see other items in this color that are proven WWII German. IMA had a bunch of drum holders and drums in two greens. The...

1944's paint is thin thin thin. While the color is spot on, it doesn't hold up for crap. Three coats on my lafette and if you touch it, it scrathes thru the paint to the primer.
