Anyone know where I could pick up some cheap olive drab spray paint. Nobody seems to carry it. I heard Krylon makes some but I can't find it anywhere. Any leads would be great.

Discontiuned from wally world. Asked the paint manager to order me 15 cans, he said they no longer carry it.

My '88 XJ. It's sad looking. I planned on painting it a decent color way back when, so I sanded it down and prepped it a bit, but now it is rusty and oxidized and all. I prefer to call it "Distressed Blue". So I was going to sand it again and just lay on some olive drab paint. I don't care too much about how it looks, I would just like it to be one color and the cheaper the better. I picked Olive drab because it seems to look the best out of all the cheaper spray paint jobs.

Cool... I'm shooting for and O.D. job when i go to repaint my absurdly oxidized, poorly repainted Xj...
i'm stuck trying to decide whether i want to go with the Dark Olive off of the 04, 05 Nissan Titans, the 03,04 Jeep Tj Willys Edition, or O.D. Line-X (complete all over the body)
I was going to go with straight O.D., but problem is, like primer, it's pourous, and will soak up and hold water... eventually leading to rust.... so... i opted out of that route....
but since my wheels are already painted, it wouldnt hurt to shoot them in a flat color.

I tried there. The girl said that someone had the same idea and buys all of the cans as soon as they come in. I can special order from them though, so that is an option. I wanted to shop around a bit to see if there were any higher quality brands out there for a bit cheaper than $4.00 a can. I'd rather pay $4 a can for Krylon than for whatever the other stuff is. I though surplus stores were supposed to be cheap. Alot of their stuff is rather expensive. However if authentic stuff is what you like then that is the place. It is kinda cool to walk through every so often. Lots of cool gadgets, knives etc...
