Calisse! All those years now i've wasted...help me get them back, padre...

Don't forget guys - base layer of Tan first before the OD. Light to Dark!
Since I spend my days in a paint booth, I should really add that Krylon Tan is NOT a susbstitute for a primer. A proper primer preps the surface and greatly reduces chiping.

Sand
clean
prime
light dusting of tan (as poncho says, it really helps to bring out the OD)
olive drab coating

for a flatter look, spray your final OD from far away, like really far. The paint particles will slightly dry before they hit the part, greatly reducing gloss.
