    Questions on painting a M109

    My painter hired a gal who blasts/paints equipment for a living to do it. She used 2000 lbs of sand!!! Took her 12-14 hours. The trick here is that you need to move super slow on thin metal or it will warp. She did an awesome job. The truck looked kind of cool all bare steel. Cleaning up all...

    Questions on painting a M109

    I just had my 109 100% painted on the outside only. We used 4 gallons of paint cut with one gallon of Xylene. The painter used a "paint pot" with a gun. I'm not sure, but I do not think it was a HVLP gun. This thing really laid the paint down! For inside and out, I would err on the side of...

    mkt cambro questions

    My plastic cambro has an outer lid seal. A white plastic cap from a small disposable propane bottle(stove or lantern size) works good as a vent cap.

    No kidding! Although, the 109 was painted MERDC and it took approx 2000 lbs of sand to get it all to bare steel.:shock:

    I'm leaning toward painting the 105 to match. Not sure that a 109 would be dragging around a 332 in real life.

    Just to give better paint access to the frame and suspension. Inners need to get painted today.

    13 months later.......... The 109 gets a much needed makeover. Had it blasted down to bare steel. Minor amount of body work. Primed with DP-40. Hosed down with 24087. 4 gallons cut with a gallon of Xylene. We ended up with about a quart of material left in the pressure pot. Markings are next...
