Very nice, what paint did you use on top??

 

[digitaldust]

did you paint by number from the TM ?
I like the colors

 

[hank2424]

Getting more pics, still have to finish cargo seats..

 

[digitaldust]

what was the paint ?

 

[hank2424]

No i went to menards and picked colors i thought would go good with each other, flat black, flat brown and satin

 

[hank2424]

I used rustoleum oil base for black and brown an the satin was a latex water base, all were mixed 4:1 ratio.

Looks like the red desert scheme of the 70's merdec.

I used the Federal Standard color 686 sand and 383 brown Wally world has it in their computer plus all the carc colors. I put the brown where the black should be and don't know if I will use the black or not. Put 2 coats of white elastomeric on roof to help with heat load in the box.View attachment 438328

I personally think the desert tan trucks are ugly. To me there's nothing better than a woodland colored camo pattern. But what you've done with your's looks good. really helps break up the tan and it looks like it should be that way. I like it


Why didn't you paint the stake sides and troop seats?

I think the red would look good with the color pattern you have.

I think the red would look good with the color pattern you have.

The only problem is I have been unable to figure out what real FS color reddish brown was used for "red desert" any ideas?

Just a personal preference, but I like the tan over flat black below.

I like it a lot, I am not a fan of the Tan trucks but your paint job is a 100% improvement in my book. Good Job and thanks for the pics.

I have learned that almost any paint job makes the truck look better. Yours is no exception. Looks good.

Thanks juanprado 30117 earth red is what I was looking for Rapco did not show that color on his page.

Ok, I see what seemed not quite right to me, it is the light bottom areas like the frame and tanks. Perhaps consider a black or darker bottom area. It contrasts sharply with your green yard in your photo.
