I am restoring a 1986 M1009. I swapped the CARC-painted hood and fender with civilian ones in better shape; the new ones are painted in a normal civilian gloss-type of paint. I want to paint the truck with FS #24052 (USMC semi gloss forest green); Behr Premium Plus Ultra or Marqee (not sure; any recommendations). This truck will be my only vehicle and a daily driver that I plan to drive for years and want it to be something I can meet clients/landowners in (I am a forester but do have to look professional) Had 12,000 miles on it when I got it a few months back, been at local bodywork guy's house/shop since. A few questions:
1. Will there be any difference in final texture or sheen between the glossy civilian pain and the rest of the truck still in CARC once painted over in the 24052? Anyone with experience with this?
2. Are people using Behr paint because it is cheap and great paint for the money or it is really that good. I get the impression from reading the forums here it is that good. But; I assume most people are painting a second truck and not really a daily driver so they don't want to spend a ton of money for something that sees occasional use and the Behr paint is excellent stuff for the money. I don't fall into that category, I want to a high quality paint on it. Not saying Behr isn't, I just don't know the reason for choosing it.
3. The sticky and other Behr posts have posts going back a while but I can't find much about people's experience with the Behr paint years down the road. Long term durability?
