I recently bought an M813A1 off of the govliquidation site an I'm a 16year old high school student and I'm going to repaint it for my senior project to graduate and i need some help.
- What are the correct colors for the camouflage and how much paint would i need?
- also is the canvas over the cargo area paintable?
Any info is very appreciated
Thank you
I know some of the members have painted their canvas, but the projects that I know of are fairly recent. (i.e., they could not say how well the painted canvas would hold up). Probably has a lot to do with the type paint that is used.
Search through the site for different patterns, colors, and paint types. You should be able to find all the information you wanted to know... if not more.
Some people have been trying exterior house paint with some success, but there are obviously some issues at least the first few weeks of the drying process.
I plan on going with a high quality paint when I get around to painting my truck. Don't have faith in the house paint, at least at this time.
BTW, you don't want to breath in the paint dust when prepping (I assume you were not planning to do that.
). I have heard the military paint can be a bit more hazardous then normal auto paint.
Nice score with the 5 ton.
