Verlinden #2551 kit

Well, kevin888, it sure would help if you said what are we talking about here - I don't feel like googling for that Verlinden kit to find out. Hope somebody can help you after you get us a little more info. Have a nice day

One cart looks like a 55 gal drum on wheels for refueling aircraft the other look like egg shape drum but has a flat top, Their are two carts in this kit one gas other oil!

OK, while you're still not vvery specific I understand we're talking about airfield equipment. In such case, the concern that it might be targeted by the enemy is far less than a concern that a taxiing aircraft might overlook and hit one - so they are painted to be easily seen by everybody. If the enemy gets close enough to the airfield to see it, he already has enough clues, camouflaging small equipment wouldn't help. Good luck with your project, have a nice day

They look like US pattern trailers which for use by the AAF should be painted IIRC OD 41 Aircraft Olive, not US Army OD.  For early USAF use, they would be painted Insignia Yellow.  For USN and USMC use, they might have been red.  Depends on who used them.
