od green or brown? which color

ok last nite my truck was keyed by some idiot thats goin to get a beat down, but anyways my truck has need a paint job for soo long, and since im soo cheap i was thinking about just sprayin it with od flat green or flat brown, i dont know what color to pick, brown would kinda go with the blue interior, but green would look better with black wheels and black decals, and i could always dye my interior black

soo flat green or flat brown?

or wait i want the texture and look of a flat black paint job, can i get any color made with that "flat" texture?

I'd go OD Green. I'd like to do it to my Bronco later on, but that's gotta wait.

Spray guy would be better, the rattle can gives you "tiger stripes"

You can use primer, that should be about the same as a flat paint.

For a trail truck such as my Bronco, after it gets too scratched up, or I decide to tackle the rust, rattle cans will be a way of life for me.
