Thanks Keith !
I started with a waterborne primer filler which I wet sanded with 320 then shot red as my base color. I wet sanded the base with 400 and shot it with olive drab (satin). For the “Indian “ script on the tanks, I had a stencil made and sprayed the letters and then had them hand outlined in black. I hand stripped the black on the panels and then had those hand outlined in gold.
Why olive drab? Olive Drab was an option in 1917 and they produced approximately 20,500 total units of which 20,000 +/- were sent to Europe as we entered WW1. A hundred years ago, the painting process was very time consuming as spraying had not been developed. The early 17 production line was already finished in red when they were called into service so Indian simply painted over the red with olive drab ( why I started with the red base). Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing. Great idea with the base coat. Did you clear with satin or is that the satin drape with no top coat. When satin is done right it’s awsome.. you nailed it.
