Thanks! I've never sprayed Carc, but I imagine it isn't too bad to work with. I need to let the paint harden up over the next few days, then I'll be cutting and buffing it.

Nah, should be fine. They made H1s in shiny black, and they don't have any issues.

4 coats of clear laid down!

Spraying base!

It's definitely worth doing. It came out awesome. I wanted an H1 style marker light bar on the windshield, but nobody made anything close to looking like an H1 that was 24v, so I made this. It's three, 4 inch 24v trailer lights mounted to some flat stock I had laying around. I measured...

Final spot putty work before high build primer...

One last look at it before paint day!

No emissions, just basic stuff like lights and horn.

Nice! I'm definitely down for a get together

Nice! There's one local to me that says Hummin

Haven't shot it in high build yet as it's been raining 24/7, but I mounted two of the new rims and tires. Looks awesome imo

Got the rims in. I was gonna go with H2 wheels, but at the last second I decided to go with these Blackrock 942 Type D wheels. They're 17x9 with a 4.5" backspace, -13mm offset. They sit about 1/2" out from the body.

I should be laying down the high build primer today. Initially I was just gonna do the hood, but I'm thinking about just doing the whole truck. I feel like the Carc will act like a decent primer, but I figured while I'm there painting the hood, might as well do everything else.

I'm definitely thinking about it. I think it would look sweet! The paint is coming in Wednesday. It's Jet Black base coat with a nice high solids clear. I'll be doing 3 coats of color, and 4 coats of clear. Three only downside to painting a Humvee in BC/CC is trying to cut and buff it. The hood...

I'm on week 4 so far. I guess I got a ways to go.

A little sneak peak on the new color....

Paint prep is starting...

I scuffed everything with a red scotch brite, and wiped it down with a heavy duty wax and grease remover. After that it was just two coats of satin black. I figured the original carc will act like a good primer for it. I'm slowly working my way towards the outside of the truck. I'm fact, I just...

Got the dash painted up in a nice satin black.

Honestly, I didn't even realize I was missing them. The truck came without a curtain, so I completely overlooked them lol I think I have them inside the truck for a 2 man setup. I can rob them out of there.
