I love the Behr line of paints. My paint set up pretty good. No issues with bubbling or any problem whatsoever. I have a link of my Behr paint project in my signature. I painted my truck in the 3 color CARC. If interested, I have the paint lid w/the formulas on them for the 383 Green and 383...
Is there nothing on your trailer? Dataplate, stencilled serial # etc? I got a trailer with unknown VIN. The dataplate was blank but found that they stenciled in the serial # and CARNAC was able to fill in the spaces for the rest of the SF97
Oh and if you're wondering I am no way affiliated with Home Depot nor Behr paint. I am not receiving any loyalties or perks from either company...haha. No but seriously, I know we're all on a budget (even more so now), I just wanted to explore a less expensive alternative to CARC and Gillespie...
Haha there you go. I like the paint on your truck though. I wouldn't want to mess it up. That's what I want to do on my next project, a desert tan truck w/a desert storm theme. I like the black coalition force upside down V on the doors and hood
Thanks! I am happy with the colors. Hmm, not sure about what it looks like wet but can't tell the difference when dry. Can you spot the real CARC from Behr CARC Substitute?;-) My pic looks lighter due to it being a clear 85 degree day. Sun was right at high noon. If it were Gillespie paint it...

Couple more items on the project list for this truck is wiring in a 12 volt dash plug, getting the aux lights wired in, backup lights, and getting those lollipop lights to work.
Things I have added throughout the years:
Bed mounted aux fuel tank
Windshield washer kit
Upgraded to metal windshield...
That's not bad at all. When you consider what you're getting. They all had really low miles and look pristine on the insides. I had them saved on the list but completely forgot the auction was up yesterday.:(
Great idea! We can meet up and convoy there. we can have a couple little convoys. One for all you tacom area and north...probably scott will meet you guys at his designated krispy location. Anyonr from the south we usually exit i5 north at the tenino exit and head thru tenino and yelm.
I attempted to install the Lollipops today. I used a jumper and patched the lollipop onto wire 460/461 (signal lights) and now my flasher don't work anymore. Oops, how did everyone else wire their lollipops? Oh, I am using them as turn signals in the rear facing configuration along with using...
3 color camo
Thanks, I was able to shoot a couple more colors on her today. And yes the brown and black are exterior Behr paint from Home Depot as well. I did use Rustoleum Rattle can paint for the stencils though.
First couple pics of her pulled out of her stall.
Second set of pics show the...
