I finally got around to using house paint on some of my equipment. I am repainting my M416, using Ben Moore 34097 from Ace. The color match to the original CARC is amazing, and application could not have been easier: brush it on, then go over it with a small foam roller to eliminate the brush...
I did not lean on him at all. I asked him to look up 24087 and he said nothing came up. I thanked him and moved on.
I was as nice as could be. He was surly. Life goes on.
I was not surly to the guy, although he was a bit nasty himself. I nicely told him about the Federal codes, and he was surprised to learn about that. He would not let me see the screen. From the responses above, it sounds like he was keying the number into the name field. I'll try again...
Well, for sure the guy today was just being a jerk, based on his very nasty attitude. He said there was no list for him to scroll. He said there was just a blank screen, and when he keyed in '24087' that nothing came up. I hate this. Now I have to drive all the way back to try again, and I...
I asked the guy at HD today to try the code 24087. He said it did not work, but while he did find the federal standard colors he did have a bit of an attitude and he would not let me see what he was keying into his computer (top secret public paint codes, after all). Was it that he was not...
I went to a HD today and asked the counterman to look up the Federal paint codes. He found the listing - much to his surprise - but did not know what code to enter to find 24087 or 34087. He said there was no other way to look them up, and I did not have access to the info in this thread.
For...
Maybe you can scuff them off with a worn 3M pad or something. Maybe they will scrub off with Pre-Kleano or a strong soap. Maybe you can dust over them with a very thin, light topcoat.
That's good to know about Herc. Of course, it can only hold on for as good as whatever it is applied on top of. If the underneath paint flakes off, the Herc will come with it. That's the beauty of POU, just spray on a bit more and it patches perfectly. Plus, because it remains pliable, it...
As Yolner already commented, you can remove it by scraping, with a little heat from a hot air gun and a putty knife, with solvent, or even just muscle the fasteners off past it. Herc and the other bed coatings don't play nice like that. POU (plain 'ol undercoating) is also a lot less...
I suggest plain old undercoating under your fenders and bed. It is removable if you need to work on it, and it can be touched up. It is also quite flexible, which is probably a good thing in areas that can get hit by pebbles as you motor along.
