Camo, I thinks that's how they were originally issued. It's not that hard to do with the patterns, they were available her
one time. If you can't find them, I can scan and send you some. I did some M151's 20 yrs ago and it wasn't to hard. We
some with a touch-up gun and some with rattlecans.

ryan77, This is what I did. I mostly use this truck for hunting. Ryan it's sounds like your going to sell the truck in the future so maybe all green, then someone can camo the way they want or not.

Saw some guys in Colorado do a desert camo job. They used the "old" camo pattern and it looks super sweet!!! just my 2cents
There's one in one of the motorpools here that's just painted straight tan. Looks like all the other trucks that go to/are in the sandbox. I say camo. Mines straight green and I've toyed with the idea of repainting it camo. I've heard if you print off the camo pattern from the TM on a thin piece of paper and put it on an overhead projector (not the ones that you hook up to computer. The old ones from when you were still in high school) and project it onto the truck while you're painting it turns out pretty well.

I have a white 1009 too but with some flaking paint and I was wondering how much prep you did and if you used the sherwin williams paint and how thin did you mix it. I am in the process of hand sanding with 100 grit and it sucks!!! Any advice would be great I want to have it painted in the next week or two. Thanks, Adam
