Thanks for all the pic's. I wasn't expecting a car but it does give me a good idea of the color!!!!! It appears there are several different shades of 'OD green'. I painted the roll marks on my AR15 with some model paint OD & it's a different shade than the 2 OD's shown here. Keep the pic's coming.

As a guy who also rides a flat black 883 and drives a WRX, I think you have very good taste, Sir!

Awesome looking bike man and nice car as well. I'm not much of a green fan so my vote is black, but there are some greens out there that look killer.

I've seen a few flat green sportsters when I was looking to do the same. For some reason, it might be the cameras, but the green just didn't look good. These look good though...

I like both of the greens in the 2 GIANT pic's, especially the top one. I wish the pic was smaller so it wasn't so grainy & I could get a better idea. Thanks for posting those!

resurrecting this post to see if anyone has more pics of matte OD green bikes hiding anywhere.

I think this would be sweet on a Sportster:
