I painted the frame and suspension with valspar flat black spray paint from Lowe's. It went very easy, but as mentioned already, make sure everything is clean.

Thank you! And I know what you mean about the stucco look. Initally until I learned how to make it work right it that's how it sprayed. But in drying it levels out. That's a plus of Behr paint. My only complaint is about how easy the paint will scuff and scratch. But I've been told it can take...

I didn't thin my paint. It can be done with no issue. But most people feel that the unthinned paint is more CARC like in the way it looks and feels, and I would agree with that based on my trucks in the guard

I liked it a lot. Like most systems its not perfect, but it did the job and I'm satisfied with it. And personally I am a very picky person when it comes to things not looking correct. For the base coat of green the air was a little over half way open and the volume control for paint was just a...

I've got the seats installed and have a seat belt kit for the front seats on the way. I still need to touch up a few places here and there and I plan to take on the wheels today and tomorrow. If anyone is interested I would be open to the idea of repainting trucks for other people for a fee...

Thank you all for the responses. I really wanted to document this for anyone that has or will be getting a hmmwv in the future and wants to go back with this pattern. My truck was a 2 man setup that was originally 3 color NATO and then painted tan in 2006. I havnt seen any issues with the...

I installed the soft top and doors and put the seats back inside. The lines of the cammo on the top and doors lined up nicely with the paint pattern I laid out on the truck by following the TM.

Thanks! I barely had time to do this one, lol.

I started at the back of the truck in the tailgate area where you wouldn't be able to paint once the gate was closed. I then moved the other inside of the bed and got as much of the interior as I could reach, then the rear wheel wells. I then painted the passenger side up to the windshield and...

I finished the green last night. And just for anyone's reference, 1 gallon will not cover a hmmwv completely, inside and out. For some crazy reason I was thinking it would. I must have been thinking back to my m151a2 that I did a repaint on and it used less than 1 gallon....a jeep has less...

So, just in case anyone is curious, 1 gallon of green 383 in behr will not cover all of the areas required for a color change on a hmmwv. i.e. wheel wells, interior, and exterior. so.......i'll resume painting today after another run to home depot.

No. It has 2 different nozzle attachements though for different levels of detail work. It's the flexio 690 by Wagner. It has a 1.5 qt cup under the nozzle and the turbine is separate, which takes a lot of the weight Out of the gun.

Here is my truck ready for paint. I plan to start with the 383 green tomorrow.

So I went to lowes last night and had zero luck with any of the FS codes. It looks like I will be going to Home Depot to get the behr paint. Though I did get a new paint rig at lowes, the flexio 690. I'll let everyone know how it works out. And they did have a brown and green and black color...

So any ideas on the amounts of each color it would take to paint a hmmwv?

That's sort of what I was leaning towards. A setup like that.

Thank you all for the responses. This has been very informative and helpful! My next issue is that I plan to use the behr paint option using the fs codes. I'm not sure which type of the pint to go with or what gun to use? Any suggestions? Also, I could do pint from lowes a lot easier just...

I am planning to repaint my tan HMMWV back to the 3 color woodland pattern at some point in the near future. I have read the TM regarding paint and camouflage markings. I was planning to lay down a complete coat of 383 green then after it dries marking in chalk for the brown and black. Is...
