King of the rattle can

[unclemikey]

Milkman, I got it from Aervoe on the net. With shipping, if I remember right, it was about $5.00 or so a can. A bit much, but I really like the stuff both to work with and the color.

Came from the Missorri Forestry Dept.

The 1/4" plating has saved the wheelwell flairs and the rocker panels. No major dents or rust. Plus they look "cool". Great to mount flame throwers or rocket lauchers to.....LOL

I had a twin from the Iowa Forrestry. Mine had an exoskeleton around the windshield and across the edges of the hood as well. Looks like the same artisian to me. Glen

My rattlecanned M-715....

Different M-715 than the red exoskeleton truck....

The lime green truck, I scraped the lime off with a razor scraper, back to a good coat of OD green....then sanded the rough spots and commenced laying on 24 cans of OD green spray. I thought it turned out pretty good...

Hey, mine's a Rattle can monster, didn't sand it, nothing, just got the pattern and I had @ it.

You get 15 feet away from it ... Looks fine to me.

Hi to Gantster, and UncleMikie

I painted 2 of my trucks in the last month. I only sanded rusty areas and runs and tried to knock off the chiping spots. Didn't bother with minor dents and scratches because the battle scars add character. My trucks are going to be used and will develop more anyway. Used rustoleum rust preventer and rustoleum camo from the local hardware. Big price difference depending on where you get it. Walmart carries 11oz Krylon camo but its about $1.10 less per can if you go with the rustoleum 12oz can.

I did the camo on mine this weekend, RAPCO 383 brown and flat black rattle cans in top of spray gun RAPCO 383 green, it looks good from 10'

Were making Rapco a million dollar company just in 383 Carc paint

Here is one for the smallest rattle can job! it took a case of MC Green and 3 cans of flat black for the 106. Enjoy

I have a new green base coat but want camo do you go by patterns can you paint tan tops to look like they match camo tops not 2 be found. All the painting freehand huh?

 

[Pawnshop]

I gunned the green base coat but rattle canned the brown and black. I printed out a guide and outlined the shapes with chalk by eye.

Any suggestions on painting the wooden troop seats? I will scrape the seats of all the loose paint first and probably rattle can them over with Rustoleum Camo. Should I primer them first?

I tried spray cans after I planed the slats down and the wood just soaked it up to fast. It would have cost way to much so I bought a quart of Rustoleum flat black and used a 3" Roller.

Mine was all free hand. Had the pattern from online in one hand, and a Black, or Brown Rattle Can in the other.
Worked well for me, I basically did one side @ a time. Started on the back.

Have FUN !!

Here is my M818 interior done with a rattle can. Gillespe 383 green. First one is the fuel can also done with the same paint. It turned out great for me.

I just finished the inside and outside of my Deuce with the exception of the undercarriage, and used 31 cans of Krylon Camo Olive from Wal Mart. In Florida, currently the price is $4.47 a can. I painted the wheels with Rustoleum Flat Black. I know how you guys like pictures, but it rained ALL day! I will post some tomorrow if the rain stops. I bought 2 Herculiner kits for the bed, but have not applied it.

Price went up on Krylon Camo Olive here too. I paid $3.33, then $3.97, and now $4.44 per can, all over the last 5 months. Even so, I am totally SOLD on Krylon Camoflauge Olive paint, as far as application. I can handle it with ease in ten minutes with no problem in turning my metals over, and get down my 2 or 3 coats easily within 30 minutes and then bring inside for storage. It seems to have some special adhesion and drying qualities well above the rusteoleum I have ever used before.

Now for the bigger test. Endurance. I'll post again in 4 years. Be back on this one in late 2014. <smile>

Oh, by the way, do NOT use that other Krylon paint that is Olive, but listed as indoor/outdoor for metals. Totally SUCKS!

 

[BAMA91]

When using the krylon camo olive do you prime before you paint? and how do you prep it? Im not painting a MV but my 88 ford ranger.

 

[sigo]

Bulldog, How many cans/gallons of primer did it take for you to cover your 813? How many cans of green? Your truck looks great! Any more tips?

I have an 813 that is going to get a new paint job in May or June along with a bunch of other work and I'm stocking the supplies now. I'm debating doing the whole job with cans or if I'm going to spend some more $$ on a sprayer too.

Not a Deuce but I love krylon camo!
