I stopped into SW industrial coatings, I picked up a gal of carc 383 green and all they had was type III moisture cure.

Im going to be painting my f350 pickup (it's a beater truck) and have taken the top coat off with some 220grit.

I'm wondering if I need a primer? Or will shooting it over the base coat work?

Also the truck is a short box / reg cab. Will 1 gal be enough for 2-3 coats?


Thanks!

You will need a shaker type mixer, cause once opened it will start to cure. I would have some other stuff ready to paint, to use up any leftovers. This stuff will probably turn to snot-in a-can, after a few days. The type 2 did, after it was mixed.

It says right on the mil spec sheet you need to thin it and what to use. I use the SW CARC all the time and use Polane reducer and yes 1 gallon will be more then enough, just make sure it is very well scuffed first. Sand it 2 or 3 times and use a coarse scotch bright pad also a few time to be sure and no primer is needed if it is over a base coat. If bare metal, a Aliphatic urethane primer will be needed.

Have you guys ever done the carc III moisture cure? The SW guy said Not to thin it... This seams odd to me!

Anyone have experience with the CARC tan? I want to paint my M925A2 with a shelter all the same color. How much will be needed for that and Sherwin Williams part #'s would be good too.
