Won't the cold just harden the paint faster? It is water based I think.

Ron has his get together on Sat the 15 so I am taking time off the project to have some needed fun after this week - it'll be soaking wet all over the place anyhow and a pond at the bottom of my driveway - Then hopefully Sun 16th get back on stroke - Swiss is bringing over the remainder of the paint and we'll be doing a color sample on some OD he thought he liked - so we'll get that done as well.
Get the rest of the Black shot - get masking off some of the top and front to go into whatever OD he chooses - do the underside chassis in black last (remember bottom of the driveway will be a pond and filled with Ga mud that will need to be cleaned up once again.)

Looking forward to Ron's run tomorrow.
For those accumulating any goods for their projects here is what I have total in the paint.
I had 3/4 of a gallon of Marquee flat black already - what you saw shot in black it that remainder of that can. I picked up what Swiss ordered today from Homey which is 3 more gallons of black (remainder of top side needs finished off with two coats and then the underside - With good coverage it will only need one good coat.
OD Green - he purchased One can of 383 for me to do a test on & I have some remaining of which the M909 was shot in of the 24052 darker green - his call - his $$ - his truck - see which way this heads - but by Sunday night you will see at least the hood in some sort of green one way or the other.
With my (freely donated) remainder of my black - his 4 gallons all in Marquee paint - tad under $200.00
Depending on what time I get home tomorrow and weather - we'll see if we can get our hands back on it and prepp'd for Sunday early start.

Sunday morning - my church is being held at the garage and 5 ton this morning.
Been moving around since 6:30 getting prepp'd up as its:
32 degree's out now and headed up to the 60's
69% humidity
3 mph winds - 46 mph less than yesterday.
See if we can get something actually accomplished today.

I cannot stand the harrasment over my work phone tonka toy camera - I am gun shy now about sending any pic's over it - and my ole camera got worn out from whatever project was on hand at the time SOOOOOOOOO
Deb let me use her camera again (bless her little heart) and I had to clean and wipe my hands before even coming near it - heck I might as well just headed to the shower I guess but here are a few pics of the little bit of work I got done today.
I also put my front axle together on my ole 2000 Murray 12hp tractor in the garage while waiting for it to warm the surface of the 5ton.
Before any of the posts come in - razor blades are cheaper and faster than masking and tapping off windshield - I can have that windshield clean in about 10 minutes with an 18 cent razor blade and all of the seams are painted as well - that is why I did it.
BTW - someone please call Deb and tell her to STOP taking pictures of me - I hate it

Looks great. Is Swiss going to let you paint that cargo top?
