Sherwin Williams CARC 383 green Moisture Cure

[ODw/envy]

The prices I am seeing range from $108 to $338 per gallon. It depends on color and application.

I paid $109 for the 1 gal can of CARC type III 1 part moisture cure... I needed my mil contractor ID, and was asked what I was using it for (I told them it was classified, and the questions stopped) It says nothing about thinning on the spec sheet! The only primer it mentions is if shooting to bare metal. Nothing about shooting over paint.

I'm painting onto oem ford paint, I've removed the top coat (clearcoat) with 220 g via my DA sander I was careful to not go through the base into the primer, and anywhere I had a ding or dent got body filler/ icing or if there was any exposed metal, I shot some acid etch primer...

I've painted a few cars in the past but I was stumped with how thick this stuff is... And when I asked for the type I or II, I was told it was no longer being made. Type III replaces the old stuff... It's 50-60 solids and low VOC. I'm just not used to spraying soo thick!

I was qouted $70 a gal for type two waterborne and $120 for a gal of the hardener . I think it is two to one so hardener would do two gallons of paint . So you would have 3 gallons ready to spray ( more if you thinned it with the sugested water ) at $86 a gallong .

Surface prep is going to be the key. Every MV I have seen/owned that was repainted by US is peeling badly. Most of the paint is flaking off on the road. The factory paint seems very stable though.

So there are 3 types

Type I -2 part base/ hardener (can use thinner)

Type II -waterborne (thins with water)

And the new type III -moisture cure (can't be thinned)


Has anyone used type 3? Alot of people posted about the older stuff, has anyone shot the type 3 thick stuff?

I tried to get some from the Phoenix SW but they said will only sell to the Military. I need to repaint my M1009, and want to stick with CARC.

The appropriate manual is TB 43-0213 (too big to attach). I have to repaint a freshly restored truck. Seems the lacquer based stuff the paint shop used isnt sticking to anything related to CARC. The manual sais to strip to the meatl, seal, and prime. But you only have a limited time to do these steps. Enjoy

Just curious, what is CARC going for these days?

I bought 11 gallons 105 a gallon total with freight.

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.

I just painted an 818 last monday I painted it desert tan used a gallon to get it done. I use type 1 CARC three parts paint to one part reducer I would get three gallons if you are doing the underside too.
