Military or civilian?
Civilian: http://www.dastank.com Glad I don't have to make the choice
Military: I think mine is close to Olive drab, go to The Samba and search military T2 baywindow combi colour codes, they would be from the same era

Here you can see all the layers of paint on the car. It was originally one of the SANDF cars painted the SA green colour. Later it was primed and painted the grey colour which was the colour in which i got it.
Now it will be sand blasted and taken to the original cream colour in which the Type 181 was made
