    Brake Upgrade Options

    The goat is a diesel. You would need a hydraboost. Or you could do air over hydraulic. The space under dash is a challenge.

    6 to 8 inches. That is what the manual said. It works great thinned.

    CUCV 383 Green Paint

    No overspray issue with the gun I use. I did not remove grill as I am lazy and no overspray on the radiator. I did not even use a drop cloth. I consider it a military vehicle and saw some of the guys assigned paint duty in other units and they were using brushes. Mine I think looks better than...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Satin was just as hard after cure time. My trucks sit outside. If I get 10 years I will just respray. The Behr Premium Ultra has a primer mixed in. It only takes two days for two coats after the prep is done.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    When it comes to cost, Behr wins hands down! Easy clean up, Easy application, Easy touch up. No shipping, Only downside is the 30 day cure! I can live with that. I get tons of compliments! Will be starting on vehicle number seven in a couple of weeks.

    CUCV 383 Green Paint

    I used 1 gallon green. 2 coats and a couple of areas have 3. I picked up for 3 color camo but my daughter likes the green. I mark out the design with chalk and use the same sprayer. Practice on cardboard and it works great. Soft edges like the original. Pretty flat! Looks like carc. I have...

    CUCV 383 Green Paint

    The sprayer dials down to spray camo. Takes practice and I use a piece of cardboard to test. 2 coats. I mark out with chalk. As for 1 galloon of base green. That is on a M1009. My other trucks have taken more. Yes I was a sceptic at first. Remember it is a 30 day cure time to be safe. I painted...

    CUCV 383 Green Paint

    First complete coat. Looks splotchy until I get the next coat. I will wait 24 hours to start number 2 coat! I found a couple of blemishes that I will take care of before another coat. Previous runs I did not see.

    CUCV 383 Green Paint

    How much paint? If that was the question? The M1009 will take a gallon or Behr Premium Ultra Flat Exterior 34094 is 383 Green. The Black and Brown will be around 1/3 Gallon.

    CUCV 383 Green Paint

    No Floetrol with the sprayer. I reduce with water about 1 cup to 2 pints. Depends on weather. I have been winging it to come up with the best formula. My buddy told me that If I over thin it I will have to add more coats. I use Floetrol with a brush if I have to touch up.
