Gents- if anyone has a lead on a decent M715 bed located in the Southeast, I'd appreciate it! oberstarg503atyahoo

May not be the paint's fault, but I'm not happy with the outcome of the cab on the WC52. I'm sure it's my fault and goofed somewhere, even though I have overthought this project from the start. The one detail that I'm seeing is that the painted parts that are still not hardening are those that...

OK- thanks. I may be overthinking the application. It is pretty tough, and the first coat was light. I sprayed it, and let it sit in a controlled environment shop for 4 months before I saw it again. One issue is that I initially got the paint in Satin. I have now returned to HD, got a batch...

1. How many coats did you spray to achieve this? 2. Is it safe to assume that you cannot lift the paint off the primer with your fingernail?

Gents- I'm working on a 43 WC52 cab. I bought the Behr Marquis in satin, ensured the cab was as grease free as possible, and shot just one light coat over Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer. The Behr was shot un-thinned with a Graco sprayer, and left for 4 months to dry. This is my first time...

Gents- I thought I would give some 'common sense' feedback to the forum. I have been studying different colors and shades of olive drab for years in a decision to paint our WC52. I saw an example here on SS of a beautiful job on a Hummer. Well, we sprayed it on yesterday through our Graco...

Thanks, AZ! Today is the day- will sand down the firewall and dash, clean the remnants with tack rag, and let 'er rip!

Gents, my Son and I brushed on Rustoleum's Rusty Metal Primer on our WC52 cab. We have brush strokes because we're newbs, and we feel it's no big deal. Once dry, we are going to spray Behr Marquis with our Graco sprayer- will the latex fill in those brush strokes, or should we sand before...

Tin, I took your opinion and those of a lot of SS members, and got the 360 VSP as well. I can't wait to use it in conjunction with that Behr paint! If it turns out half as good as your shelter, I'll be content..

Fantastic information, PW! Thanks much. The reviews online appear to be somewhat favorable, and one commenter said that when his Graco wasn't pumping very well, that the (2) o-rings were easily replaceable from Ace Hardware, and he was back into business. Their customer service and warranty...

Gents, after looking at the Behr paint job thread, I'd like to get your opinion on which airless to go with? Currently, I'm looking at the Graco battery operated line with attached cup. but I'm open for suggestions. My uses will be Behr latex paint for a 3/4T Dodge WC, a converto trailer, and...

Mark, would you consider that semi gloss, or flat? Seems like there's a bit of shine on the surface? I think the color is great, and just might be the future color of my WC52. There's too many green vehicles, and just a shade slightly off of that would be great! I may go a bit flatter, but...

Now that's not the AF I knew. Thanks for the personal experience. My Dad was a weapons puke on A-7/A-10's, so I thought he might get a kick out of one in the shop. I'm working on a deal for one right now- apparently, the Hatz motor even runs. Something else to maintain :D

Along with all of the other wartime crap I collect, I somehow feel the need to get an MJ-1 'jammer' bomb loader :???:. If anyone knows of one within their 'inner circles', please let me know!

Zout, did you ever feel that with all of the work you do on MV's, that you would want a 2 or 4 post lift? I feel I want a 4 post lift, but for cryin' out loud, I only mess with these old vehicles a tenth of the times that you do...
