M105A2 PPG Pittsburgh Paint

I just refinished my M105A2. It was painted tan but wanted it to match my truck. I followed the paint TM the best I could. I used "Pittsburgh Ultra Paint & Primer in one" exterior flat from Menard's. I let it sit for 48 hours before removing the masking tape over the bumper numbers. When I pulled the tape off it seemed the surrounding paint wanted to come off with it. The paint is still soft after sitting in dry and hot temps. I hope it holds well, the can says lifetime warranty and is ok for use on metal. :lol: I sand blasted it and did some minor body filler work, I left some of the bullet holes alone. I primed it, applied spray on paintable bedliner inside, then painted the whole thing matching 383 green, then black followed by matching 383 brown patterns. This is my first project and I just free handed the camo pattern the best I could with my spray gun. What do you guys think? Be honest! When I go to paint the tarp do I prime it or just paint right onto the bare tarp? With time I'll let everyone know how the Pittsburgh paint holds up.

Thanks all. I'll have to post pics in better light after I get the tarp done. Honest comments can only help one improve their selves. If some thing looks like poop don't sugar coat it. Ducer LOL! Your deuce would look good in my yard hooked to it!
