hi, I own a Willys M38A1 from 1953. I would need 1 gallon of OLIVE DRAB GREEN SEMI GLOSS. I have a bit of difficulty in finding the right color here in Italy. why not shipped to Italy? and if a friend of mine in the USA buys paint, can he send it to me in Italy? if it is, how should it be done? must complete a form for customs. I would like to know how to do it. thank you regards
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
We can only ship paint to the 48 states. We can send you our paint samples if you like to Italy. You would have to arrange though to have the paint shipped to you on your end international.
