Hay where can I get the OD paint for my m37 rebuild?

Google 'Army Jeep Parts'. They carry Gillespie paint. I've painted my trucks with 24087 Gillespie and have very good results. I think 67beast uses Gillespie also.

My source of Gillespie paint is RAPCO in Texas. Mark puts cases of paint on pallets and ships to me by truck freight. Total shipping cost by truck to my office is less than the UPS Hazmat charges would be... I'll be placing an order soon in case anyone wants to go in on a group purchase (delivery at Aberdeen or at a show in North Carolina in case you can find a buddy to haul it back for you...). Otherwise, just order online and have him ship to you direct.

Mark's website is located at:

Yep,
RAPCO is where I get all mine.

Also I don’t have a good spray gun for auto body paint, should I use spray paint or buy a sprayer?

 

[clinto]

Buy a sprayer. You're not doing the sort of high end paint that requires a good Binks or Sata gun, so you can get away with a $50 special. Make sure to have a good water filter in the system and on the gun as a last resort. 60 gallon compressor preferred.

I do powder coating so water in the air is not an option for that, so no problem there

I would first use some chemical rust converter on that truck.

 

[bubba_got_you]

That’s not rust that’s brown paint there is barley any rust and it is almost all original and I got it for $1500.00 it is being stored inside

 

[Armada]

It's a good idea to chemically prep the metal prior to painting, anywhere bare metal is exposed, rust or no rust.

Stay away from Aervoe paint. Nuff said.
