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. I know Gillespie paint in itself is not very expensive but with shipping it gets up there. I figured the paint job on my '68 was getting pretty bad. I had nothing to loose.
After the second day of drying I was up near the gun mount, I dropped my hammer on the hood where it proceeded to slide down. Surprisingly it didn't break the paint...whew! So after just two days of drying she's pretty tough (albiet they were two 80+ degree days).
This is my son's truck. He wanted the 3 color CARC. Now he's telling me he wants to be an Army Ranger. He asked me "Daddy can you make this truck belong to the RANGER unit where the guy got the Medal of Honor?" So it appears I'll have to make up unit stencils for 2/75th Ranger Batt for him. My father in law will like this as he went through Ranger School. Oh by the way my son is only 7 years old. He knows what a Ranger is, knows what a Ranger looks like, knows how a Ranger carries himself, and knows how tough it is to be a Ranger. It's amazing what a 7 year old absorbs. When we're at the PX or commissary at JBLM (I still call it Fort Lewis), he'll be in the middle of doing something only to stop to stare at the guys walking by in their tan berets.

I'll even be happy putting on FOUR coats!!!
. I know I know, the honeymoon phase of the new paint should wear off in a few more weeks.
I'm waiting a call back from the manager to see if I can get a hook up with the green since it's a non-returnable item.
