Okay, I FINALLY had the time on a day of good weather and painted my M1009 this morning. I think it turned out pretty decent and it was a blast (and a lot of hours in prep work). I used Behr flat latex in Olive Drab with just a little tan thrown in. It will get stars on the hood and doors, numbers/letters in the appropriate places. I have new stock seats (front), not putting the back seat back in, new rubber for the windows/windshield and there will be brown/olive drab camo netting going over the "re-purposed" trailer bows in back. Later on, I'm planning to fab a metal top to accommodate the "tank commander enclosure" so my grandson can sit up in it during parades. Anyway, it feels great to have it painted and ready to be all put back together now. The pictures are prepped, primered, wet sanded; first coat along with grandson; and after the second coat of finish. Also tried to get a good close-up of the texture.
