I don't see how that would ever be an issue. Paint is paint regardless of what the can say's it's meant for. And if they really must know, just tell them you didn't paint it. The Military or previous owners did. :lol:
That made my mind up, semi gloss it is. Very nice trucks. Can I see a few more pics of the M135? I have seen a few pics of it before and I could have SWORE up and down you did it with Gillespie or some other 24087 enamel. Great job!
Just be sure to cover up any rusted areas with a rusty metal primer which the Behr will adhere to quite well. Otherwise the rust will stain through the paint. Also prime bare metal. For those of you with CARC on your trucks, the Behr should adhere like nobody's business.
Not able to take pics right now, all I did was take the fording cap off the dash intake. It hadn't seen the light of day in over 57 years so it was factory fresh 24087 OD Semi Gloss. Just give it to your paint guy and he will get it 100% matched with the laser eye machine. You can get a small...

The Behr has a nicer color, goes on MUCH smoother showing almost no brush or roll marks. It's cheaper, It thins very well and dried very hard. Compared to the Valspar...
Well now that the truck has fully dried from the rain squalls and I have had a chance to hit some areas with a scraper to get started I found the reason why a few areas bubbled up. Apparently latex paints need a long time to cure, the Behr says up to 2 weeks or more before it can get wet. A...
Awhile back I made the decision to paint my 54 GMC deuce with regular old latex house paint from my local home improvement store. I tried both Behr Ultra and Valspar Duramax. Both are exteriors, paint/primer in 1, flat. I had the colors matched using a NOS part off the truck. I painted less than...
