I'm getting set to paint my Brits and I have a few questions. Does anyone have any suggestions on what color to paint PIAT's and armored vehicles? My first instinct is to paint it the same color as the helmets but I'm not 100% on this. Any help would be appreciated.

Check out the painting 101 as it has colors for gear, uniforms and weapons.

There are some good images of PIATs up on Wikipedia. As for the vehicles, it would depend on what they are, and what your army's colour scheme is already. If they're in Europe, you could get away with a scheme similar to the US, while a Detatchment in North Africa and the Middle East would be more sand coloured. |

Thanks, that is about what I was thinking. They are going to be a Europe force so I think I will just stick with the same OD Green I use on my American Vehicles. The Vehicle in question is a Universal Carrier so it isn't lend-lease. Should still be the same color though, right?

Yeah probably that's the best way to go....
But if you are bored of simple green, than some Bren Carriers lover halves were painted black with a wavy border. This was used only on Bren Carriers, and is not the the pattern used on trucks.

I would suggest bright pink or hunter orange.
