Southern CUCV Urban Camo M1008

I always love your work.

Ditto to the above. Can't wait to see these done!

Ditto to both!!

You can always overcoat it with a semi gloss or flat clear coat.

Sweet!! Excited to see the final product as well....

Paint begins!

Well after a week trying to work out getting the SW paint at my local store it came in and I started the paint job today. I am painting the grill. bumpers and wheels along with the cargo seats black, and the body will be dark grey with the light grey and black camo. Tomorrow I plan on painting the truck in the dark grey, and Sat. doing the camo job. This paint job is a lot of detail work and time.

The SW paint is VERY nice and he can tint it to match any color, I am going to see if he can match their CARC colors. This paint KEM-SURE 400 is very tough and made for construction equipment.

Oh, found that the paint comes in "low luster gloss"

Looking good!

Painted!

Well it was a nice day and I started early so I managed to finish the urban camo paint job.

David

I like it. Reminds me of this truck I found on the web...

Thanks

It will spend it's life in the city so I think it will work out for the new owners. Plus it will match the rest of his fleet.

On a side note, this paint is MUCH better quality than the stuff from Rapco. The Sherwin Williams paint is a 2 part paint with a hardener and is VERY tough once dry.

I am going to see if they can mix it in their CARC colors and use this on all my trucks even though it's more of a satin finish.

I am impressed, Good job 82ABNMP.

You get 1 rep point from me and Two thumbs up for your ingenuity and fortitude in a job well done..!

PS, Just noticed the rear taillights have over spray on them. Don't forget to clean them up before you go for a ride on the street.

Actually, I believe the "Feedback" score is dedicated to the classified section for buyers and sellers to rate each other on their performance and the "REP" points are your personal feelings about anything positive any given member has shown. Now correct me if I am wrong.

That looks AWESOME!!!

I have to say the paint job is great, but the color looks like you took a black and white photo. My personal thought is blah, but I know it's for a customer so if that is what they want and they are happy then that is all that matters. Keep up the good work!

I'll stick with the desert tan, thanks!

I don't think I would paint my own truck in this paint color, but I don't live in the city. I do think if you saw the truck in a city background it would look better and fit the environment. But it looks good in person.

Thanks, but I buy new taillight lenses on every truck I do. The old lenses are always cracked or faded so I just leave them on until after the paint job then install new ones. Same with the front marker lights.

Buy the way your truck is also looking good...I need to install some of that sound deadener in my trucks.
