I'm repainting my Humvee with Rapco forest green and it sprays GREAT!
It covers well but DOESN'T make the rivets look like they disappear.

If your giving it away, I'm interested.

If you want to sell it, use the classifieds.

Sorry, but Rapco is entirely too glossy, needs 4 times more flattener added to match CARC.

The marker light is just set in for the pic but I like the green black green contrast.

Looks good. Post up some more pics when you get a chance and any details on the application: method, pressure, if/how you thinned it, number of coats, etc.

I have zero automotive painting skills, but I want to paint my 2 man all green and am open to something different than 383. I need to test this guinea pig before I move on to 3 color camo carc for the M966.

I also agree (looks great!)... can't figure out why some people go out of their way to criticize - negatively. Or... if that's not even their intention, they make irrelevant comments (selling/classifieds) but maybe he REALLY wants to buy it.

I too am interested in your prep & application methods/techniques (as the post above mentions).

Thank you.
