Japanese Helmet Paint Color?

Post by Totenkopf »

We are currently reproducing Japanese Helmet paint, but would like to know what the English or Japanese (Translated) term would be for our labels. Any help would be grateful!

Regards,

Looks like Drew from 1944 Militaria has pulled the trigger on reproducing Japanese helmet paint. Looks good!
