Rapco Spray Cans

[TwoStates]

How many spray cans are needed to paint a HMMWV body and hood inside and out (not including the roof, top, doors, etc.)?

It takes 18 to do a Deuce and about 22-24 for an M813.

Your mileage may vary.

I don't think I used even 10 cans to paint my M1008 pickup. CAMO pattern. You will need mostly green is you go CAMO.

Just ordered 18 Green, 3 Brown, and 3 Black. Hope that is enough.

Don't sweat on the quantity of black paint. You can get some flat black from any manufacturer to finish the job.

I'm having a hard time believing that there is that much black needed for the small globs of black on the hood and visible exterior body since I'm not paining a slant back. We'll see though.

I would think that one can of black should be more than enough.

I used six cans of Green, three cans of Black, and two cans of Brown. I need to order more to finish up. I think I will need another four black and three brown. I still have a case of Green and once can of Brown.

Where did you order it from? I got an M1009 and getting ready to repaint it green after the Son and I sand the **** out of it.

I ordered from Rapco.

I see where one of you said 18 cans for a deuce and 10 cans for a M1008; I'm guessing about 12 for a M1009? Thoughts?

Sure, 12.




It's a crap shoot but you can always use the extra to add more coats to areas that may need it but you have to wait for more if you don't start with enough.

Took a case of Rapco 383 green on my K3500 crew cab long bed.

It depends on your worksite, My 1009 took 16 cans because I sprayed it outside on a windy day.

When you are painting yourself, the grass, the trees and the neighbor's cars and houses add 33.42%.

In case this helps, have painted a few deuces and 5 tons with RAPCO spray cans, friend discovered for black, can use the tall chrome colored can of Rust-Oleum High Performance Enamel in Flat Black, so we order the green and brown from RAPCO and go to Lowe's for the black. Have done a 5 ton in RAPCO sand color or tan color and that turned out great.
