    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    For those using Behr paint, has anyone painted their exhaust stack with it? I'm curious as to how the latex paint reacts to extreme heat, i.e. does it hold up, turn gooey, melt off? I'm ready to paint my stack but wondering what will happen. Thanks.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    So now that the truck has been completely reduced to a pile of parts for complete frame off restoration on my '68 Deuce, I've finally gotten around to the cab. The cab on my truck was galvanized and the original military primer they initially used had a reaction to it, turned to a chalk like...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I've tried that. They look at me dumbfounded and say they no longer use that system and can't access it. Seems it's either laziness or they are just ignorant of the computer, either way it's very frustrating and they just get agitated the more you try to explain it. Even tried talking with a...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    This is what I recently obtained for my 68 Deuce restoration from the original paint match color. Sorry for the late reply. Would love to be able to use the Federal Standard codes however every paint place I have been to in my area says they either don’t have them or can’t access them. Hard...

    I’ll have to check the code when I get back. While disassembling the truck I found small parts that were the original 1968 dark olive green never touched by sunlight. Took to Home Depot and they color matched the paint perfectly. Put some on one of parts with original paint and you couldn’t...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Just used Behr Marquee semi-gloss from Home Depot over standard gray rustoleum rattle can primer on a few parts. Only issue is paint is really soft and has stayed tacky for 3 weeks. Can says can take up to 4 weeks to cure. Therefore having to hang parts for long periods otherwise they stick...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I'm in the middle of full frame off restoration of a '68 Deuce. While disassembling, I found some of the original era paint under a removed part which appeared in pristine color condition, unexposed to elements or light. This was taken to Home Depot last month and an exact (and I mean exact)...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    So I emailed BEHR Tech Support to get some feedback on the paint properties, in particular how the primer or paint would adhere to rusty surfaces, how it would hold up in the elements, specifically what they would recommend for bare steel, vs. rust coated steel, vs overother paints, if oil based...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Has anyone tried using the BEHR Premium Plus Interior/Exterior Multi-Surface Primer & Sealer as the primer and then used the BEHR flat exterior paint of the color of their choosing on their MV's? If so recommended as the primer over existing metal and holds up well? Any different then using...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    So after reading through this extremely informative thread in its entirety, which was no quick task, I have decided to go the Behr paint route. Sounds like several have had good luck without priming anything and spraying Behr paint direct with a Wagner electric power sprayer or other similar...
