Love this thread.
I would like to return the deuce to its original darker color. Has anyone used this paint in Vietnam era Olive Semi-gloss?

SW Bradley was telling me they loaded Behr in spray cans for him ? This is a step up for a lot of us for touch up or even full jobs with folks without spray equip - maybe Swbradley can chime in here and tell us how they did it and how long it took.
I have small airless with a qt on it. While I imagine rattle cans are easier, the airless is pretty easy in its self, and with the small nozzle is pretty accurate.

I forgot to share my M109A3 project I did a few weeks back. It started out as touching up the roof's sealant to repainting the whole truck just for the heck of it

Thanks. Most of my truck is ROUGH CARC. So with a semigloss 24087 it would need to be sanded?
Maybe i will pass on the 24087...

Well I've got the truck almost completely painted. Still have a couple spots to touch up, and under the truck to do. Haven't figured out how I'm going to tackle with getting under the bed yet. Needs to get wire wheeled(rust) and primed with some rusty metal primer first.
I'm not sure if I like the solid green or not. I think it looked so much more "mean" with camo, so I might have to add the black and brown soon. Also have to replace the mud flaps.
This was all painted with Behr Marquee. Used a foam roller and a paint brush for 90% of it. I messed with a Wagner sprayer for a tiny bit of it(back side of cab, front of the bed, and the sides of the bed). The sprayer mainly made a mess, and it was just easier for me to roll it.

Save yourself the trouble; that green looks good.
The big rig, all by itself, is already "mean".

Just started my Behr job. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I chose to step away from the factory greens and decided on "olive leaf." It's a bit darker than 383 and was right there on Home Depot's sample wall. I'm just finishing up the top and am very pleased. Sprayed the paint un-thinned with a Wagner Flexio 570. BTW this sprayer works very well. No runs, very quiet, very adjustable.

Here is my Behr paint job. It's not an MV, but a former EMS vehicle, for whatever that's worth. A complete color change, the truck used to be white, took almost 2 gallons. I used a Harbor Freight airless sprayer on the door jams and hard to reach areas, then a roller on the outside. Two coats on everything.
I couldnt be happier with it. The paint has the correct feel and texture I wanted. After a few trips through the woods, rubbing on trees and riverbanks, the paint is well "pinstriped" but there is no chipping or peeling. Even around the new dents.
