I was able to prime the doors and the fenders with 2 coats of 2k primer and plan on sanding on Sunday and try to get them painted with one coat of green 2 coats on door hinge area, fenders sand and get a coat on of the green. Also in the morning I will get 2 coats of 2k primer on the rest of the truck. Today I cleaned and pressure washed the truck exterior and pressure washer inside and out and then got 2 coats of epoxy primer on.
a tip, after you get the epoxy primer on, wait about an hr then put your primer on. this is called a wet on wet process. for future reference.

Hello Lild , Yes I am aware about when I can apply the primer I just ran out of time . You can apply it 30 mins after the last coat of epoxy primer and it must be recoated within 72 hr. otherwise it must be scuffed up.

Hello Buzz, yes I am going with black interior. Having seconds thought on painting it Camo I am not sure witch one will sell better . I have one that is just green and I kinda like it any thoughts Buzz or members. I guess I could always camo it later if someone wanted a camo paint job . I guess we will see later..

I like both the green and the camo. The camo is a pain in the butt in my opinion, lol. Whatever you decide I know it will be cool.

Hello Buzz, RUNS What paint did you use, are the runs in the green or on the black and brown . I have painted some of them camo and yes it is a pain, I have never painted a M1009 before . I still don't know whether to paint it green or Camo. We shall see soon ..

CPAPPY, The runs may be in all colors, I used the sw carc allthree colors, that's what happens when its hot and sweat gets in your eyes, after staring at the paint for a while in the sun it seems like it gets hard for me to see. I am colorblind so it was challenging. I was trying to get paint on before winter and me and my son put rocker panels on both sides. The paint that was on it was wearing real thin.
