White Primer?????

[FMJ]

One of my M35's seems to be all white under the CARC, the truck was rebuilt at TEAD Utah in 91, and the CARC was applied at that time. Everywhere there is a chip its white, not any shade of gray but white. Anyone have any thoughts as to why? You can see it between the duals on the frame, its worse now that I pressure washed the truck.

Maybe they had white primer for the desert tan jobs?

I don't know, possible, but its green CARC, then white paint......

My hole 1986 M925a1 was done with the white primer.....and it sure is tough as Nails......!!

From the factory as well as the rebuild in Albany back in 1997.

Well, I wish the CARC had been that tough.....Most of the problem is the paint on the frame, maybe I can feather it out and touch it up...... Don't really want to pull the bed.....

White primer is used on Military vehicles so that when final paint is applied, missed spots and lack of coverage can be easily identified and repainted. It would be hard to see high lights and thin coverage if you would use lets say a green primer.

I have seen the white primer. I mentioned it and someone explained it. I'll see if I can find more on it.

Here's the post I was thinking of. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index....e+primer&sid=1a5582a3f33edea520c5da6ec6f05c70

btw, found it using the search function "white primer" find all terms.
