    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    One good coat with a brush and then evened out with a small foam roller. No clear. Once cured I can't see this stuff peeling.

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Forgive the late reply, but I painted my M416 with the ACE exterior latex over 8 years ago and it has held up fine in weather from Vermont to Florida.

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    I hear you. What is somehat annoying is that if you accidentally splash paint, it stays forever but if you want it to stick...... It's happened to me. I once accidentally spilled some paint right onto a dirty, greasy, not-at-all-prepared-for-paint floor. Years later that paint is still...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Thanks for the reply. I should have been more clear with the description of the existing paint. It is only peeling in a strip on the top of the front bumper. That area I would sand. Everywhere else is just the normal GM-clear-coat-weathers-off that is usually seen on vehicles from the 80s...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    Gentleman, I have a question about painting an OT vehicle. I've got a Chevy APV (plastic body) stashed away with Stabil in the tank and a solar trickle charger. The body has no rust (obviously) and no dents, but the factory clear is worn through or peeling off in several places. I'd like to...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    So, is CARC the formulation and 383 the color? If so, is there a 24087 color for the CARC formulation?

    I am losing track of the colors being used. Which brown is this? I like it a lot.

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    You guys are too funny. I will post pix of whatever I use to try this stuff out. If anyone else is going to try this Ace C-K paint, grab yourself a bunch of the color chip cards. The cards that included the OD shades I was perusing are card numbers D 19 through D 28. I was looking at the...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    I just got my free quart from Ace. They have many standard colors available in the Clark Kensington line that seem to match several flavors of OD. I was looking for something close to my opinion of what 24087 looks like. I say my opinion, because it is hard to tell from a tiny paint chip. I...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    I saw a tv commercial that said that ACE hardware stores are giving away a free quart of their house brand paint tomorrow. I am going to check it out in case I can get something that resembles CARC or 24087. From a press release: "Called Clark+Kensington, the line combines paint and primer...

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    It might work just fine. Personally, I am not a fan of bedliner products. I do not like the appearance or the texture. Way too thick and 'plastic', nor the idea of a coating that can not be easily removed. To me, they look out of place on a regular old pickup truck. They look absolutely...
