    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    As someone who’s used behr flat for a few trucks over the years and loved it, how does the semi gloss cure? I feel like it would always be softer paint but I could be wrong. I would love to paint my 65 Kaiser soon in semi gloss Gillespie, but it fades very quickly in the desert. I think semi...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    After a year of working on and around the M211 which has 2 gallons of Behr on it I have just been downright astounded as to how durable it has been. It is tool proof, diesel proof and every other proof. It's been the most durable paint job i've ever done. 1.What did you apply the Behr over? It...

    I'll say it again, let the paint cure 3 weeks before getting it wet.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    As others have posted, the first time the paint gets wet it may "streak" which will wrench your stomach at first. However, after a few washdowns it does eventually go away as do the "soap bubbles". I must stress the importance of letting the paint dry 3 to 4 weeks before getting it wet. Scuffs...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    If your asking if it would keep it from sun rotting, sure. A lot of people down here paint PVC pipe that sits outdoors to keep it from sun rotting. Works great, just make sure the herculiner is not a super smooth finish. Being a bedliner, it's probably quite porous so any paint should adhere...

    Or you could just top coat the bedliner with your BEHR. :beer:

    I don't believe the Herculiner would spray very well. For one, it is textured which means there is some type of abrasive material in the paint which would destroy the brass spraying tip rather quickly. I tried brushing and rolling the Behr and was not happy with how it came out. I wanted a...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I couldn't be happier with my $25 electric paint gun. I got it off Amazon, they don't have any left. But it looks very similar to the Chicago Electric made ones at HB. Very simple in construction and easy to clean and take care of. I don't see how it could break, there's nothing to it. For those...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Some pics of the texture. Hides about 60% of all surface flaws such as small chips, dents, sanding marks and brush strokes. I would have killed myself trying to get that nice of a finish with the Aervoe semi gloss. I expect to use 3 more gallons to finish the truck, from top to bottom and bumper...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I used one of those harbor freight airless electric sprayers today, it's a cheap version of a Wagner. I had to thin the BEHR the recommended amount on the can for it to spray well. It used up a whole gallon in about 1 1/2 hours, although the adjusting knob on the back hardly works to "adjust...

    Yes, it holds up very well to diesel fuel, oil and heat. It will stain like too, to watch where you put your grease rags and your dirty little paws.

    Behr can be applied at 35 degrees and above, and it must remain at 35 degrees for 4 hours after applying it. I'd say your good to go, if you started spraying before noon and finished within a couple hours.

    If you have access to the real thing, by all means go with it. But It's really up to you, durability wise and appearance wise they will both wear the same. You can always touch up CARC with BEHR too, and you will not be able to tell the difference. As the original OP said, depending on the...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I typed this out on wordpad real quick. Save as a DOC file so the forum will upload it. BEHR matched to Aervoe 24087. I felt this would reduce some of the "how do I post this code properly". Print it out and take it to depoty.
