I know I'm a little late to the party, but under the cj2a parts project in the reference photos the 3rd photo shows a 2a that looks to have nice shine with a good refection of the jeep delivery svc logo off the windshield frame reflecting in the hood and the 2nd photo showing the willys logo on the side of the hood reflecting on the top of the fender.

I come back to this late. But to answer why I made no comment on the knives. while I was a Custom Knifemaker for 14 years, I was never into antiques or collectable knives I know very little about either.

Used Duco Paint. Supposed to age well. 

Please ignore the green bits of the frame - that will be fixed ! 

I am quite pleased with the level of gloss personally

Many times the paint application or thickness will be specified in the BOM (Bill of Materials) for a specific vehicle.

I'm fairly certain I have that information somewhere, and I will try to confirm.

I found this topic very interesting as I am in the process of painting my jeep at this time, I was using two body parts to try and match up the paint as close as possible , after painting the body I dug out my samples from my body and compared for colour and shine or glossiness and compared to the single stage paint I used and I found colour was good and for gloss or shine it was spot on, the only thing that is noticeable is the thickness or possibly the number of coats of paint the factory applied to the body , I applied 3 coats of paint and from what I can tell the factory may have applied one very heavy coat or two light coats of paint as just enough paint to cover the steel but still look good, one of the things to think about is paint cost money and the factory is not going to apply any more paint than is necessary , just like any car manufacture they will look at saving penny's per part and in the big picture it turns into dollars per vehicle of profit.     
lets go for a rip eh bud

That's an Air Force survival knife.  Did Ka-Bar make those?

CORRECT !


It was issued to my dad in October 1954 when he was working at Patrick AFB in Stewart Florida. I don't know the manufacturer.

Wow! Beautiful.....that's a keeper for sure!

Take 3 or 4 minutes sometime and YouTube the late, great Guy Clark doing 'The Randall Knife'.

At least read the lyrics but it's best to hear his studio version.

I have heard it hundreds of times in different versions and have never gotten through it dry-eyed yet....always reminds me of dearly departed men in my life.

Give it a listen...you can't NOT like the emotions in the song.

Never did get Mark's attention, but the BOWIE is unused, and was my dad's.
I think it's 1940's? Heavy SOB

The paint samples are in the same drawer as the dash drawing I was looking at.
The pig stickers are what I use to hold the drawings down, but I took them out of their sheath's since Mark was/is a knife guy.

I dunno, but I painted my Jeep in tan with semi-gloss clear coat. Looks good to me.

Gentlemen - Thank You again for your inputs. I have spoken to my paint guy who used to look after my father's old Fiat. The brief is to imagine he was painting in the 70s and try and get that kind of finish. 

The original paint samples are enormous help. 

I hope to share the results with you guys soon.

Yes, we made it through OK, thanks. It is so strange that you can be fine and a few miles away from you people are getting pounded. The worst part of the storm skirted around us.

Speaking of that, I see you made it through the storms OK.....I guess I should have titled it Jefferson City/ St Louis area storms the other day.
