Painting my m35a2 think the color is off.

It's a little light for sure. Hope the over spray on the parking lot cleans up easy.

Would you guys please verify the color for me? this doesn't look right to me. I started spraying this morning and stopped after letting a portion of the truck dry and realized it was too bright for my liking. what do you think?

Close enough in color to be related.

Mine looked brighter after the first couple hours, but then flattened out nicely. All 3 colors Behr house paint.

Much better color don't you guys think

 

[bikeman]

Definitely better IMO.

Plus, it looks familiar...

-that's more like "The Hulk" green. Finish off and see what is does. It wont be the first paint job re-done....

I agree with Scar59, looks like the Hulk. Leave the back unpainted and get a bumper sticker that reads, "You dont want to see me when Im angry.." haha

So the green in all three shots is the same paint?
I think I will use this same paint. Looks great!

Yup the last set of pics is the new updated behr paint using the federal standard color code. I just need to do the other color then black. Might have the wife do that not sure my camo abilities are as talented as it would need

What'd you use to spray it with?

My house paint sprayer got lost in a move. I might rent one for a day or something.

Turned out real nice....Glad to see I'm not the only one who painted today.

I used a wagner house sprayer... I added some of the concrete floor traction grains to it for texture. turned out great! rub your skin right off. I love it!

Looks great! I'm picking my truck up tomorrow. Lots to paint.

I used Rapco 383, rust o leum primer and harbor freight hvlp
gun. And lots of wet sanding! Rims were painted same, just a bit later.

Yes, same color. Even though the third pic looks much brighter.

I've been looking at the wet sandblaster kit for my pressure washer. I think I'm going to go that route rather than sanding.

I've seen this diy, who makes the kit you are talking about?

Looks much better with the newest green paint on it. Glad you got it worked out.
