Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

[bikeman]

I used 34079 as the number... and Forest green as the name, 2 separate searches. forgot about the forest green one.

I was looking at the screen. Basically a dialogue box with only an "OK" button would pop up and after pressing Ok, back to the search screen.

 

[rhurey]

Searching by the number as a number has their computer try to match it to the number on one of their paint chips. Luckily it doesn't match Hello Kitty Pink or some such.

I've had luck telling them the name of the color is 34094 or the other 383 camo colors. Then they search and the full name is something like "FSC 34094" or "Federal Standard 34094" or something. And I say yes. They look confused. Sometimes I'll explain, sometimes not. Managed to get the three colors for woodland and the desert tan this way.

I had problems with Home Depot finding FS 34079 as well. I think that FS number was discontinued years ago.

What we did was he looked up FS 24079 which he was able to find and then just use a flat base. Looks good to me.

Here are the color examples.

Did you have the same with the rest of the MERDC colors? the green is the base and required, but I need the other 3 colors as well...


---rhurey, sounds good, I'll try again on Thursday.

will look for any input really, have a window to do this, and it's not going to be uber long.

 

[SturmTyger380]

Yeah after we struggled with the FS34079 he found the others I was looking for FS34102, FS34151, FS37038. I was getting the Behr Marquee Flat outdoor paint.

Worked like a charm. everything came out and the paint splotches look spot on to the MASSTER book.

Now just gotta wait for the rain to pass to get the truck masked and start sanding/painting.

Bikeman I'd like to see this when your done. I have an early AF Deuce that is originally MERDC and I really want to redo it. When I get back down to NC might have to take a spin down and check it out.

Not a problem. Now if the rain would let up, I could actually attempt to sand, prime and paint it. It's going to be a busy work before I (hopefully) start work next week.

That is a most excellent welding trailer you got fabbed-up there, robson1015; a real beauty.

I'm wonderingr about the oxygen tank though, is it legal to have it laying on its side like that (you know, the regulator being a potential missile and all)?

Something in the back of my mind says that they're always supposed to be upright, but maybe that's just a recommendation and not a statute. Do you know?

 

[Coffey1]

It's a OSHA thing our nitrogen tanks must be upright.

Yeah, something was ringing a bell for me here when I saw that. But I've been out of commercial work for a while so I wasn't sure.

Is it only nitrogen, or is it ANY tanks?

 

[Coffey1]

All tanks and I believe and I could be wrong while in transit they cannot have regulators on.
The caps have to be on.

Were you aware of the OSHA regs, robson1015?

They might not apply to you as long as you don't contract for outside work. But there is a reason for the regs, and you'll want to consider the reasoning (especially driving in a cab in the "firing zone" of that regulator). You don't want to get hurt. Easy enough to mount the two tanks vertically fore-and-aft it looks like.

I've always seen them transported upright with the caps screwed on, the regulators come off easy enough so it's not much of a hassle to switch between the 2.

 

[robson1015]

Oxygen can be any position, acetylene has to be upright. Yes- caps have to be on while transporting....

That's all good; no problems!

And for the record that is a Kick-A** trailer you created there.

I mean you could patent the set-up and sell a million of them, I'm not kidding.

 

[robson1015]

Thanx Ahab for the kind words.

 

[Another Ahab]

Hey robson, I just "calls 'em like I sees 'em":

- A person could make a living off of a pick-up truck and that trailer alone. It's excellent!

Nice trailer and tools! I have a similar setup with a Ford truck rear clip and Hobart welder. My LP is upright and oxygen tank laid down. I like it laid down to keep the CG low and make it easier to slide in and out. Do you have a cover? I use heavy canvas but it still blows in the wind.
