    painting my 53 REO

    Wiping down metal with a damp (with water I assume) rag seems contrary to my intuition, but I'm not a chemist. I just looked at my bottle in the garage (same product) and that's what it says. I would think using the acetone to wipe it down would be a better idea, as wiping with a solvent is...

    painting my 53 REO

    I have had good luck with Ben Moore products as well, but typically I use Sherwin-Williams commercial products. Mostly I use lacquers for cabinet projects, but I have also used their industrial enamels on metal with good results. I am in a salty humid coastal area and am used to the battle...

    painting my 53 REO

    I'm following this thread as well. I haven't been a Behr fan for years because of a few failures back in the day (very poor coverage). I was talking the other day to a pro house painter and was told that their paint quality had improved significantly. I painted a non military trailer recently...

    My final m1028 project

    Nice work. You mentioned Sherwin-Williams. What line of paint is it? Cost?

    M1078 LMTV Picked Up

    Is that the one that sold at Mc Dill recently? I don't remember if it needed an EUC but if it did that happened fast. Nice work/looks great.

    I finally got my Deuce!

    If you are on I-295 at rush hour and are getting back off at Blanding 25 mph. is way too fast, but low range may be very beneficial. Congrats, I'm in St. Augustine and am waiting on my title to come so I can pick up my M109 from Warner-Robins.

    M149A2 water tank trailer/ for fuel

    The first photo of the water buffalo looks like one of 2 that were sold on GL yesterday in Tampa. Didn't get a chance to preview but the photos looked great. Was going to bid but they went out of my range pretty fast and ended up around the $1,500. mark.

    M820 missing and smoking like mad - help needed

    Just found this thread and realized my m109 is sitting next to your truck. Any luck yet on the shipping?

    Nice truck, I'll be watching to see what you come up with.

    Shaking Down an Old Deuce and New Deuce Owner

    Thanks for your posts. I'm facing a leaky zippered boot on the passenger front wheel as well.

    How do I get it home?

    Glad you got it home and thanks for the details. I've got a 300 mile recovery coming up and I'm assimilating all the anecdotal and technical info I can get.

    Looks like you've had your share of RIP trucks. Glad you are ok.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I'm so skeptical of Behr paints from the get go because I've had bad results from their paint several times in the past. It never seems to cover well at all. I've got an airless rig, two dedicated HVLP rigs and a conventional set up as well and have shot latex, oil, lacquer, automotive...

    Newbie checking out a deuce today??

    Hi Andy, I'm waiting for my SF-97 to be processed on a M109A3 I won back in the middle of the summer up in Warner-Robins. Got to take it for a little spin on the SS members property who got it off base and is storing it, and am so looking forward to getting it home. I saw you mentioned Vilano...

    Got to take a teaser ride in my new (to me)M109A3-

    I got to inspect and take the deuce for a short spin last week on my way back from working out of state. Won it out of Warner-Robins on 7/28, finally got my EUC about two weeks ago, and with the help of a super SS member got it off base and stored. It cranks (jump started-bad batteries)...
