    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Yeah it goes away eventually, I stopped worrying about it since it only does it when it's wet which isn't a lot around here with 2" of yearly rain fall IF THAT. :lol: When it's dry the streaks are gone.

    Could it be you don't see the streaking on a house wall because a homes exterior surface is usually of the textured type? Whereas a deuce is like a giant flat bill board with no texture at all.

    I am sorry I took the stuff off my bumper and fenders. I will be putting new grip stuff back on by brushing on a thick slurry of sand/behr too.

    That is awesome if it works on vinyl. The surplus cargo tops should last many times longer with a coating of paint to protect them from UV rays. They would get eaten up in less than 1 year here. Sunniest city in the country.

    Yep! My friend who served in Desert Storm said all the trucks and CUCV's had them.

    I would spray the "arrows" on both doors. Not sure on the correct terminology. http://data3.primeportal.net/trucks/gert/m813/images/m813_16_of_16.jpg

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    You just sprayed that paint, give it 1 month to cure and you will see what I mean about it being resistant to anything you can throw at it. The only thing that would harm mine was Stripx paint stripper. Oil stains seemed to wash right off with dawn, hot water and a scrub brush. I had a puddle of...

    If you use a quality paint brush it will come out really nice, I just opted for the sprayer because I wanted a rough texture.

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    By the way, these paints DO protect and seal the metal against rust. I've found absolutely no difference between these house paints and the traditional alkyd enamels in the way of rust prevention. So for those small bare metal areas that will be hit with these paints, do not worry about rust...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Your not applying the paint over metal, your applying over existing paint. I had a thread sometime back on the use of the Behr and Valspar, I too found that rusty metal or bare metal must be cleaned and PRIMED before applying the house paints. I would choose the Behr over the valspar because it...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    I let the rusty metal primer dry for a total of 3 days before I apply a topcoat. The reason why Rustoleum's primer takes so long to dry is because it contains fish oil. If it dried in under an hour like some paints do, it would never do it's intended job of preventing rust. It dries so slowly...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    I have been VERY happy with my Behr paint job. It was Behr Premium Plus Ultra to be exact. Again, these are not actually "latex" based paints. They are acrylics, just like the paint used on your Ford or Toyoda, minus the clear coat of course. I was a bit critical of my paint job in the beginning...
