Sweet pics! Spray job looks GOOD! I couldn't ever get the handle on that camo pattern. Tried it once. Failed.

The .mil has manuals, that's a NATO pattern, actually.. Kinda screwed up on a couple of parts, but I was freehanding it...

Good thing about the .mil is everything is written down somewhere, from lettering, to how to press the pedal to make it stop..haha

So, in addition to all the manuals on how to paint it, what identification marks go where, how to decipher the bumper numbers, and all that jazz, I get free tech manuals, step by step diagnostics procedures, maintenance/PM manuals,etc.

It's actually BEHR 4300, which is an ultra flat exterior paint.

It's widely used in the .mil vehicle owner community because it lasts forever (25 year exterior rated), it goes down easy, and has the same texture of the CARC that was originally applied to the vehicles when they were in service.

It is truly a paint by numbers scheme.. See attached...

Mammy and Pappaw's house needs a new roof

Mammy and Pappaw's house needs a new roof

I was thinking the same. Less time farting around with painting some surplus vehicles, more work on the essentials like keeping the rain out of the living room/bedroom.

As for the shed? Nothing wrong with it that a match wouldn't cure Who knows, given time, spontaneous combustion might do the job especially if there are enough paint rags in it.

Or, we could assume that with the fence in between the parcels, that house may not even be related to the OP, and that the pictures were taken "mid project" and things aren't put away yet.

Of course, that would require not being an egotistical dickhead. Hard for some to do, though.
