Suggested paint colors for Deuce (other than OD or camo)

[JohnnyReb]

I would go with yellow or white.
Yellow is the color we paint our trucks on the flight line for safty, you see them a mile away.
White, you could have magnetic signs made up with black UN on them. This way if the anti loggers come in to the woods you could tell them you are with the UN doing a study on the south eastern spotted owl and they should leave the area.

My 2 cents. Whatever you use make sure it's a flat or satin and available in spray cans for touch up. If these are your business trucks you want to keep them looking good, not beat up.

A lot of the new fire trucks around here have swiched from red to a brite green, the kind seen on construction worker vests. This can be seen good at night also.

tractor supply sells kubota orange enamel paint for like $25 a gallon. it dries fast, you dont have to clear coat it and its cheap enough that you can keep the fleet lookin nice by simply repainting your trucks once a year.

How much you wanting to spend? If it is minimal and you are going to paint with a brush or roller, then go to Pittsburgh Paints and get some of their wate based acrylic enamel. I used Zinser for a primer and togethere they make a very durable finish that you can leave in the rain without worry.

If you want to spray it on, go and get some automotive acrylic enamel but preparation will be more time consuming and expensive. If you want to spend even more, I would get gloss urethane that desn't require a top clear coat.

buy a gallon of rustoleum in either red, white, yellow, or green and have at it.

Do you have a Company Logo or letter head?? Company jackets or hats? Do you already have a
color scheme for your company? If so try to incorporate a few of those Base colors in your overall.
