SS member WildChild467 painted my 925A2. Guess giving him that commercial grade pressure washer paid off! Thanks bro...

WildChild467's Work

WildChild467 is an M35A2 member, but he took it upon himself to paint my 925A2 for me. All I did was drop it off at his house. Just wanted to show off his work and give a shout out to his abilities and fabulous job. You guys are lucky to have him in your dugout. Thanks bud. 2 Diablo's and a Doctor Pepper....

nice, did he take it off the frame? Cuz some of those places don't look fun to get into with the cab and bed on.

 

[Wildchild467]

Nope, I did it all frame on. Just takes time to get detail work. Anybody can paint one but it depends how much detail you want to do and how nice you want it.

Thanks bud, you deserve it. If you don't take a second glance back to look at your truck when you park it in a parking lot, you bought the wrong truck. Glad you like it

Looks pretty dang good. Even with out a tear down for paint, I bet he did a lot of masking. The prep work/ clean up is what seems to take the most time for me.

Masking off the glass makes things easier. Other than that, not much else. Ok, stuff like the slave cable port/cap, solar battery charger, light lenses, etc. Head lights are so easy to remove it just easier taking them out and putting tape over the ends of the wires. You are right though, paint is somewhat easier but prep work takes all the time. Thank you for the compliments. I was really happy to paint it for my buddy. He deserves it for all of the nice things he has done for me so I took extra extra detail on stuff and made it right.

Thank you for the compliments. The most important thing is prep work. A good pressure wash and then grinding away flaking paint and taking a DA sander to all the flat surfaces helps exfoliate the oxidized paint and helps the new stuff attach. I used Rapco 383 Green, then painted 383 brown and then 911 black. I used xylene to thin the paint in a ratio of 4:1.

Rapco. See post #11. It is the basic 3 color camp scheme listed in the TM.

 

[Wildchild467]

74M35A2 should post more pictures of the truck so we all can see it in the day light!

 

[Wildchild467]

I'd also like to say it takes about 2 gallons of paint to cover a M925 or M923 in one color.

 

[74M35A2]

WildChild467 said he is open to painting anybody's truck for $950 plus paint, if brought to his place. I think that is a tremendous deal. I would have paid that had I not known him. Anybody interested should get a hold of him. He said 2.5T or 5T same price.
