Anybody in NC painting trucks?

[PowerstrokeNC]

Several years back I had John Winslow paint my M35A3, this was a short while before his untimely passing. Anyone else in NC painting vehicles that you know of?

Thanks.

I am actually seriously contemplating that. (Coffey1) and I have been chatting. Really my main concern is getting the CARC pattern right/close. Don't want it to look like crap lol. Since I have brush strokes on it from its previous life how bad could it be I guess

 

[infidel got me]

Do it do it-- just 180 grit the brush marks out , power wash it, tape it and shoot.

I painted mine outside, on a sunny- low wind day. I must say it came out pretty good.

As far as the 3 pattern goes, take some pictures with your phone and print them off to use as refrence.

Your not taking your truck to barret Jackson, so if you do make a mistake it's an easy fix.

Swing by home depot and get your paint and get to it. You can save yourself a bunch of money, plus you can say Yeah I painted it.

So simple a caveman can do it. P.S. If Coffey is helping--- hide the paint--- he likes to drink it. If I still lived in Gray court I'd lend a hand.

Post pictures-- Good luck

Remember, it's a military truck. Don't be too fussy, half the paint jobs done in the military were done by privates with paint rollers in one hand and beers in the other. If it looks too nice, it won't be original.

Ditto! I used to fret about how the paint job looked, but actually nobody notices- it's just not that critical!

I could make a trip up there and paint it for you if you aren't comfortable doing it yourself, as long as you have a place to paint it and an air compressor. I can bring the paint. Real paint, not behr, and not CARC. Good ole PPG industrial paint. Holding up great on my truck and color matches very well.

I have to go up your direction to paint a few trucks for another fella anyway.

I have another truck that needs some paint. Not sure if I am too late for the painting party. Though I am going to be going against the grain and painting arctic white.
