Alright, so I finally went to my local surplus store and picked up the steel part to go with my liner. However, I had a choice between orange and gray so I chose gray. My question is, where do I get that olive drab color paint, so I can paint it the right color.

they usually sell spray paint cans of OD paint at the surplus store. You could've killed two birds with one stone.

I picked mine up at a hobby lobby, OD #7, but you can get it at really any store that sells paint. I found some at Walmart once.

I like to use the fleck paint followed by the Krylon OD Camo - both are spray paint and cheap, ao its easy to use and easy on the wallet......

Buy Rustoleum's "Camouflage" spray paint. The OD is perfect and has a very flat finish. I think it's $5.00 at Home Depot.

the fleck paint is an artsy thing that my fiancee showed me....you spray it and it comes out in chunks......it wont be at the surplus store, but it will be at walmart......after a few coats of OD, it looks rough like the WW2 cork finish.....
