Recovry 4X4??

I thought about that, but it's too light to even resemble the green in the woodland camo right? Think it would look ok? ( I found the brown and black camo's today for $10.99 a gallon about 8 miles from here) Forgot the brand name but it was exterior latex. The green they have is Olive Drab.

A 4-star General?? (I bet I'm close)

I can live with the color for a while, but it's just too solid! Any good suggestions on markings? I left the unit/truck number on the rear bumper and will re-stencil them on the front due to Mississippi mud and bugs wearing it off. I know about the TP 45 over the tires, but what else can I do to...

Cucv ? Go ahead and get one, they're great ! I'll mail you enough mud off my tires to build y'all a couple dirt roads![thumbzup]

I'd like to have one just for the cab. That way I can use it with the cap removed. Maybe install lights on it?

Small fix..........at least they're the right color and not the color of a vegetable like my whole truck! Really though Nick, when we did ours in Desert Storm most were either slapped on with a paint brush or sprayed on with rattle-can paint. I definitely couldn't tell they were crooked in the...

Painted Got "Butterbean" painted all but the grille/grille guard, and front bumper. Two coats latex on all exterior. Gonna go darker next time. As of now, I have about 36 hrs. and $40 in the paint job.

You're right, it's real close to that green lol !

Butterbean Green CUCV Got 'er dun today, two coats everywhere outside except front bumper and grille/grille guard. Decided I WILL paint it again, maybe next time I'm home from work, and darker! Just wanna see how this is going to hold up. Keith_J--Not sure about the fuel resistance, I'm...

Too Light!! Dang.....too light. That's what I get for being in a hurry to get paint. As I stated before boys and girls, don't buy paint from a store color chart! Dang, Dang, Dang! (Still a nice job tho :grin:) She'll get a darker coat as time allows.

New CUCV TM's Section CUCV TM's Section is perfecto! I didn't know if I should "thank" on the new TM section, as it would probably take more pages for all the "thanks" you'd get there so I put it here..... Thanks, Mr. New Administrator Feller!

Olympic Latex again Got Butterbean about 80% finished. Still gotta get some sanding/priming done on the front fenders, then buff and paint the bumpers, grille guard, and grille. The flourescent lights make the color a lot lighter than it actually is. Still looks much better than before. The...

Buttweet, If you do decide to sand on your truck, be sure to use a good respirator for the sanding dust. The paint is very harmful even in dry/dust form! I've been sanding some spots on my 1009 and I always wear one. Just fyi. Congrats on your new truck also! ( maybe one day my CUCV will grow up...

That's great! Post some pics when it's finished. Mine I've already come to this conclusion, will look like crap warmed over. lol It's the color, not the job. Kinda looks like a giant butterbean (that's what my son said anyway lol)........Well folks, looks like my CUCV just got its new and...

Thanks! Yep, I have sanded a good bit on the CARC on my 1009, but I absolutely wear a respirator while doing so! It's more dangerous to spray, but there are enough tiny particles of that nasty stuff while sanding to do damage to the respiratory system (and more). Thanks for the advise, and...

Welcome from Mississippi Welcome aboard, and best wishes on the MV hunt!

That WAS a foam roller!. It's one for cabinets/doors. A lot of the texture on the truck is the old touch-ups from the Army with a paint brush and roller. I've tried sanding some of the brush strokes off but some are too stubborn. Once the paint is cured I want to try wet sanding a small section...
