I'm not an expert on spraying, but here's how I would resolve the reducer question. I'd mix the reducer and paint in the proportion I'd expect to use it - say 4:1 or 3: 1. I'd test it with a brush or roller on an area somewhere like the inside of the bed to make sure that the reducer and paint...

I had to find a can without the formula splotched. That's it. I've used regular paint thinner with P24; if you want to try another, test it first, please. The label actually says not to thin but the label doesn't have spraying directions. BM is $50 or so a gallon; Maybe a few dollars more...

"...I just read that the behr cost $39 a gallon..." Add about $11/gal for the BM alkyd. Steve

Going through the site says all 3. My truck was sprayed at the factory and DRMO and brushed (sloppily) someplace at least once. Go over your truck carefully and you'll see how yours was done. Steve

I'm pretty sure that Carnac provides the last unit. See the VIN INfo thread. I traced mine back to the 10th Mtn then the 27th Bg of NYARNG via judicious use of paint remover and email w/ the NYARNG public relations dept. Sandpaper was going thru too erratically.

Water Wash After Rust Treatment The rust conversion product here is much the same as RustMort and the directions are to wipe or rinse with water. It tends to neutralize and cleanse the white powder that sometimes forms and that can bleed through the paint. Once treated, the metal can often...

Based on experience, I tend to agree overall with everything that Scrounge41 wrote, esp. the comparatively low cost of material vs labor. I'd just reiterate leaving ample cure time for the alkyd primer under acrylic or latex. I'm using BM because: - I'm generally a BM bigot in all things...

Personally, I wouldn't recommend buying more than 1 gallon of anything until you try the color and see if you like it and the way the paint works in person. Then buy more. Cameras and computer monitors change the colors if only slightly and this particular color is very susceptible to light...

Thanks for the kind words on the wheels. All the BM was brushed with a 1", fine chisel angled sash brush. You need to get really close to tell. It will look full gloss for at least 3 weeks and deaden slowly after that. You might want to try the semi and if it's too glossy 'round about...

Seems like you want 24087. I admire your taste in trucks to model. If you check the latex house paint thread, I posted a Benjamin Moore formula for 24087 that you can get in most any finish, alkyd or acrylic, porch/floor, house paint or industrial. Not as cheap as Behr but good stuff. Its...
