Default RE: 1942 45

Hi also brand new here. Great looking Bike! I am just doing up a 1942 WLC and my painter wanted to know what primer they used under Olive Drab. Also, is today's Canadian Army drab the same color as what was used in 42? Seems to me Olive drab hasn't changed, but.
Thanks for any input

Beautiful ride! hell just stay on two lane blacktop and you'll be fine. IMHO all these bikes that want to go fast miss the best part of the ride...the ride getting there.
