So there are a few spots with the green primer, but only between parts not normally accessible without removal. All the exterior stuff seems to be straight from metal to flat black...2 coats, likely a black primer and flat black top coat. I have absolutely no clue. Hence, my inquiry to the...

Inside the headlight ring...

This bracket was in the cabin...likely from the air conditioning mounting equipment.

Here's another one from a part that is more likely not be a replacement part (it's a body rivet)

Only spot I could find that I hadn't covered up yet

Oh, and also straight from black to metal on the screws that hold the headlight bracket on, and the tow/cargo loops in front and back on the bumpers (the metal loops for towing or tying it down)

Not in the bed where the only bad chip came up, but the hood retaining clip had some green where the black coat missed, and the entire interior is green. I haven't seen tan anywhere on this truck. A small chip came off the half shaft boot when it flexed, and there was red in the chip. IDK

The best way to describe it would be that it looked like someone who knew what they were doing did the paint very quickly. Full coverage over everything metal, but too much in a couple spots, the entire bottom is the same color, but there is over spray and drips even on the tires. The roof...

Definitely a military job. There are runs, missed spots, and I haven't seen any green under the flaws in the paint. It looks like it goes strait from black to metal in the bed where the only bad chips came up.

I am pretty sure (not 100%) that the only parties to have had this HMMWV were the Marine Corps, GovPlanet, and me. There probably isn't another way to tell though. No CARFAX for MVs lol (Edited for autocorrect)

Also, the only information GP would/could give me about the truck's history is that it was deployed overseas with Marine Corps...if that helps.

I've been searching Google and SS for weeks not wanting to ask this silly question. I've read a lot about the factory paint and painting and repainting techniques, but I can't find anything on why/who/when these trucks get different paint than the woodland or tan schemes. I've seen these...

Thanks, Mav! Also, thanks 1038a1! I was afraid it was something serious like a drivetrain component mounting bracket/brace. whew! I am still very new and ignorant about this series of truck. I'm lucky to have found you guys. Actually, I may have recruited someone yesterday. I ran into him...

670771 Any idea what these are? They fell out from the bottom on my first drive out of 1st gear

Thanks! Come by any time.

Delivered last night! Needs batteries, but everything else seems in order. The high beam on one side is out though...and the A/C won't hold a charge. There is a brand new unit in the bed (for free) though, so I just have to mechanic a little. Fortunately, it's winter. Anyone in the area is...

It's an honor to serve. I appreciate your gratitude.

EUC approved! Shipping bids are lower than anticipated! Can't wait!

Thanks for the update, Mav! Best of luck! Let me know if I can help since I will soon have an M1123 here in VA.

Any news, Mav? Been a couple weeks. I'm on the edge of my seat here lol
