LOL!! That is awesome man. My first house in St. Louis was previously owned by an artist and had similar decor. Keep it.

Took some time off away from the jeep, to have a different vacation. Get a little sun
Sun has never been to nice!!
Got some parts while I was gone
But got back hard at it and front it pretty much all together, except the calipers/breaks and steering built

Just say no to hooks........... yikes.
Please, just a D-ring insert or just use the receiver pin and hook-less strap.

Took a 1/2 day today and tomorrow off from work. Shot the door jambs and letting it dry overnight. I'll be painting the entire rig tomorrow.
Just an FYI...
If you guys ever need THE toughest alkyd enamel primer on the retail market, go to Sherwin Williams and get their Bare Metal base primer. HOLY SHEET that stuff is hard as a rock after letting it dry for about a week. It took 3 packages of Norton's Profession 180grit to level it out. Then 220, then 320, then 450, then 700.
Ugh...I remember why I don't do this anymore.

Looks pretty good, so is that CARC? If so youll have to let us know how it holds up and cleans off...i have a gallon of it sitting around. And post up some pics of it put back together and outta the garage!

No Sir. This is WWII Army Jeep Green from Gillespie. It's just a Alkyd Enamel with a hardener and matting agent. Tough as nails with the hardener.
I have sprayed CARC before and it is SOO volatile! I wouldn't do it unless I had pressurized air and a downdraft booth. We used to paint a lot of H1s with it back in Florida. Even after it was dried, the off-gas would make everyone in the shop a little loopy.
If you use it, please be careful.

All the booths at my shop are downdrafts with fresh air supply
Good stuff...Have at it!
CARC holds up great if you reduce it properly and use a 1.8 tip (if my memory serves me correctly). We would set our at-gun pressure right around 25psi (psi at tip was 12psi).
DON'T use Oxsol for thinner. I don't care if anyone say otherwise. Don't use it. It'll wrinkle like a beotch! There's a special reducer called "T" something or other; I can't remember it's exact name. But it's what the military uses when it does their LAVs and Humvees. It's a special order item that not many paint stores keep in stock.
If you have any questions if you ever spray it let me know. I have nearly every paint/reducer/activator/hardener/humidity combination written down in my old notebook.
