Phoenix Posted July 22, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2016 Hi everyone, i'm trying to restore my APH-5 helmet for a us marine helicopter display 1968-70. i've seen lots of APH-5 helmet pictures with all sorts of green colors. Looking for a darker green glossy paint color i see on some HMM-xxx pictures. Any idea's or information please. Thanks grtz Phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted July 22, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 22, 2016 I would look at the vehicle paint the Marine Corps used.Im guessing it was readily avaiable during the period or if they used a certain color number on the aircraft for paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfixer Posted July 23, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2016 For the paint source...check with Army Jeep Parts web site....he has many shades of OD for jeeps over the decades....chances are he has the right shade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
