I was able to prime the doors and the fenders with 2 coats of 2k primer and plan on sanding on Sunday and try to get them painted with one coat of green 2 coats on door hinge area, fenders sand and get a coat on of the green. Also in the morning I will get 2 coats of 2k primer on the rest of the truck. Today I cleaned and pressure washed the truck exterior and pressure washer inside and out and then got 2 coats of epoxy primer on.

a tip, after you get the epoxy primer on, wait about an hr then put your primer on. this is called a wet on wet process. for future reference.

Hello Lild , Yes I am aware about when I can apply the primer I just ran out of time . You can apply it 30 mins after the last coat of epoxy primer and it must be recoated within 72 hr. otherwise it must be scuffed up.

Here are some more pictures . Finished cleaning up engine compartment today, and painted one more coat of green on backside of tailgate and also 2 coats of paint on hood and topper inside and out.

Very nice work!

 

[Buzz]

Cpappy, are you going with black interior like your last build?

 

[CPAPPY]

Hello Buzz, yes I am going with black interior. Having seconds thought on painting it Camo I am not sure witch one will sell better . I have one that is just green and I kinda like it any thoughts Buzz or members. I guess I could always camo it later if someone wanted a camo paint job . I guess we will see later..

 

[Buzz]

I like both the green and the camo. The camo is a pain in the butt in my opinion, lol. Whatever you decide I know it will be cool.

 

[Lild]

Paint f & r bumpers black along with the grille, & leave it green.

 

[ThunderCracker]

I like the camo paint job.

 

[Buzz]

I got some paint on mine, the camo was a major pain.

Buzz that really looks nice.

 

[Buzz]

Cpappy, thanks. It looks ok as long as you don't get too close so you can see all the runs in it. Lol

 

[CPAPPY]

Hello Buzz, RUNS What paint did you use, are the runs in the green or on the black and brown . I have painted some of them camo and yes it is a pain, I have never painted a M1009 before . I still don't know whether to paint it green or Camo. We shall see soon ..

CPAPPY, The runs may be in all colors, I used the sw carc allthree colors, that's what happens when its hot and sweat gets in your eyes, after staring at the paint for a while in the sun it seems like it gets hard for me to see. I am colorblind so it was challenging. I was trying to get paint on before winter and me and my son put rocker panels on both sides. The paint that was on it was wearing real thin.
