Here are photos of my 1951 Jeep. It was a civilian CJ-3A, militarized to M38 last year, including many pieces furnished by Kaiser Willys. I bought this Jeep 22 years ago and now it is complete as I planned. Thank you for your help when I needed, giving me your opinion and recommendations.
Best regards,
Nice jeep!
What’s the exact color code of the paint?
To Michel Tracy:
Thank you for your congratulations! As i said in my history the original colour of my jeep before the militarization was beige, so I decid to paint it in the same colour, like the SAS jeeps of the WWII in Africa´s theater. This colour isn´t common in the M 38 Jeeps, but I like it as it is. The exact ink colour I copied from pictures of military vehicles from especilized books. I live in Brazil and here the ink shops can do any colour you need, you need only to give him the sample. Here they have the “Sahara Beige” as a standard colour. As all military vehicle the colour must be mat (30%), but I think that your CJ 3A will be bright, OK?
Best regards. Good luck and send us photos of your jeep after finished the job.

Is it possible to get your resource for the Desert Beige paint you used? It is absolutely fabulous!
I am completing my CJ-3A restoration and am at the decision point on finish paint color. I have seen nothing better than the color on your Willy’s! I would be indebted if you could let me know where you obtained it.
Best regards;
