Looks great!!!!! Every time I see your guy's projects, I'm just itching to get my Goat painted! I've still got a ways to go before I throw some Behr on her. When I do, it'll be done in the ole winter MERDC to be era correct. Thinking I'll spend extra time on her and have sharp lines rather than blended. But, we'll see how impatient I get and when.
Thanks, Mike! Much appreciated... especially because
you are the one who motivated me to actually jump into it!
Plus, the extended warm weather gave me the 'window of opportunity' I needed to transform 'The Rust-Bucket'!
Looks like you've got a great place to do work inside. Is it also a heated environment that would aid painting?
My entire family worked well into darkness each night in a 'frantic effort' to get our deuce painted and the drying
started before the rain had a chance to wash (or pound) the Behr off the completed surfaces. Being that all of our
work was done outside in the 'elements'... we were extremely fortunate to have avoided a nasty disaster!
I think your plans for the Goat sound perfect! There's something about the concept of, "era correct" that really
appeals to me. That's the main reason I've decided to leave the interior of my M35A2 in the original 1970, OD
condition. When I sit inside I almost feel as if I'm in a 'time machine'. My family and I love the history of the truck
and feel honored, to be in a position, to be able to preserve this awesome piece of American Military treasure.
The Behr paint has proven, so far, to be a great protective product with an authentic appearance. For us, it has
been a great investment, a fun project and a cost-effective option which protects the truck and... enhances the
value and look of this military workhorse.
I thank you for helping me 'discover' the Behr option! Although I know there are many other quality paint products
and application methods out there for MV restorations, this one has worked very well for our situation.
