Looks great! What was your process? Rattle cans or what? I hope to start painting mine soon.
Basic paint prep and tons of sanding to include heavy degreaser and using a hot pressure wash. Paint and primer are single stage urethane that use catalyst and reducers then shot through a cheap Lowes HVLP gun.

Thanks for info. Looks really good. Hope mine turns out that well.

How did your HMMWV look on arrival? Progress?
It started right up and drives but pulls to the right, someone local is going to show me how to align it. Alternator rattles a bit but other than that I’ve still been driving it after a full lube up. Need to figure out why the heater doesn’t blow on the drivers side floor because that will hurt my ability to drive it in winter.

Address the alt ASAP, usually loose and or broken bolts.

I would like to correct something here. This is not a list of TM's you need to work on the truck. This is a list of MWO's, (Modification Work Orders) that has been applied to the truck.

All those TM numbers you see should be the TM's you will want to use when working on your 1097.
