    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Door and frame had a plastic vulcanized to it and I thought the whole unit needed replaced. After seeing the new cost, I did repair. Now adding a full view storm door and side window. Edit....and steel hand rails.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    L1A1.....The FS numbers can be mixed at almost any paint formulator....they all have the information if they are smart enough to access it. Behr seems to be very good quality, but almost any hardware has access to the formula by the FS number. I've taken it a step further and paint my house...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I like the FS 383 green. I'm painting parts of my house with it because it matches the sand color so nicely....a novel idea for house paint

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I thought the quarts you got were the Marquee since sample size is not available, except in Ultra. It's (Marquee) priced higher and people claim it's better....so it must be better...right?. I'm not spraying all at once with a nice machine either. To me, the Ultra seems more brush ready...

    Buffalobwana, I sure would like to have one of those....or the HVLP system. Nice tool. Marquee sample size is not available. She's right, the color will be the same as the ultra....but you have moved beyond that now that you have quarts. Notice the black has a shot of blue. That is why...

    Yes, red primer. Use a small dose Flo-trol and go light on the water with Behr.

    Are those 80# tires on 16" rims? I just scored a set for my trailer that fits the Dexter axles. The rest of it looks great too. Nice work.

    If you are referring to me, I can't, I've sold everything that I've painted.

    Is that Behr? I get a bit of rust coming back in places with the acrylic latex. I'm going to get rustoleum flat black and have them put blue in it to match the military black for the frame and drive.... stick with oil based on the lower areas. I have a wetter climate here.

    Plus you're not carrying the weight of the paint reservoir...and great price on the unit. Did the nozzle seem right to you, clogging and such?

    Sweet! What FS number? Did you use the black 37030 on the wheels, they look glossy?

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I've been trying different brands of exterior flat and none are as good as the Behr in the Ultra Premium Plus or Marquee. Personally I like a little Floetrol to slow it down. I bought the FS 37030 Black from Ace (yes Ace can mix to FS numbers) and can tell the difference, even on rough but...

    It looks really nice Wendell! Yes they are nice trailers. Did you consider the Behr flat black made from the FS number?

    Wow. I would have tarped it. How hard has it rained, wind, etc? I'd plan a second coat.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Would there be a problem with just getting the sample size Behr U.P.? They seem to have the wide range of colors that are in the Federal Specifications (by mixing it) so you may be able to be really period correct. I bet there are 10-20 shades of white.

    Especially if thinned. Flowtrol wouldn't make a lot of difference but I bet water would. I have some really fine sand that I've used with some that might go through the larger nozzle.

    What is the FS number for your desert tan? I'll get a sample of desert tan and try it. I'm finding a near match on an M35A3 with sandstone. If anyone wants it, I'll get the FS number.
