m105a2 paint job

[Deuce007]

I posted this thread in the paint and body works section and didn't get any bites so I want to try this thread in the trailers section instead. I am wanting to to a paint job on my m105a2 and was wondering if anyone was any recommendations of what paint I should use. I was thinking of using an oil based O.D. green and just use a spray gun to apply it but I am open to suggestions.

Rapco paint is what I suggest. Comes in both gallon buckets or spraypaint cans. I've done a whole truck with it before and it looks sharp.

Rapco is good stuff.

I used water based CARC. I love the way it goes on.

I love the way my rapco went on. i suggest buying the gallons and using a regular automotive spray gun set-up to spray it. the paint takes a while to harden up where it wont "mar" or scratch.... but it sure does stick real good! i didnt primer mine or anything. i just used a DA to sand it down and smooth it up real nice before i sprayed it. i figure 2 gallons and you will definately have enough paint to do the whole thing inside and out.

I painted the side racks and stenciled it after i took this picture... but you get the idea.
