Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

[ghost944]

Well turns out the people at my local Home Depot just aren't very sharp! Called another Home Depot in Calgary and they cross referenced the number in 2 seconds! Anyways now I know exactly what to ask them and I will be good to go. So problem solved. Thanks for the help boys.

Oh quick question. If I roll the paint on the truck will it go on nice and uniform looking or should I spray it on?

There is no one "right" answer.

It's a function of what resources you have, and what approach is easiest for you.

People have had good success here with both (a thread search about it will bring you up plenty of background for your decision-making).

Just in case it helps out, I swung by the local HD and had them mix a quart.

I liked the spray that we did. It gave it a "CARC" feeling of a tad of roughness.

Has anyone applied this to bare steel? If so, was any kind of adhesion promoter used, or was the surface just cleaned, scuffed, and applied?

I pressured washed twice used lots of those sandpaper flap discs for grinder. And used 5 gallons of 34086 behr ultra premium flat 4300. In a wagner 590 air sprayer. I have around 350 in paint job if you count the sprayer i also sprayed my m1101 and my deck with it...

That's plenty cheaper than Earl Schieb, and a lot better looking too. I'd say you are way ahead.

Just finished one. Pleased with the texture, price and ease of use (fumes clean up etc). I paid a company to sandblast the truck. They stripped the entire bed floor and about 50% of the rest of the bed. I'm pleased.

[Buffalobwana]

Great job on the trailer. Going to give it my trailer a shot today.

 

[Buffalobwana]

That's very nice. I love 1101/2's though and I love the tan ones more!

Well done!

Dangit I just bought 7 gallons of behr last week!! 5 for the deuce 2 for m1101

 

[Buffalobwana]

I did the exact same thing a week ago and the girl said I should buy some more in a week because they would be on sale!

Someone asked about bare metal, primer, rolling it on etc.

i rolled the hood. Looked fantastic. I had some bare spots of metal, roughed up by rust and sandblasting. I'm not concerned about the paint sticking. It's primer and paint mixed and I think it will be fine.

I have never seen a latex adhere to stuff like this does. This is quality paint.

 

[drivebymashing]

Some of my truck was also bare metal most has rusty metal primer. This paint isnt going anywehre bare metal or over old paint.

This is a great thread but so long...I've tried to read it all. Three questions: 1. So at this point, what is the thoughts on durability? 2. What do you use as primer on bare metal? 3. Can you choose the finish as in eggshell vs. flat etc.?

I painted this one year ago after power washing it and priming it with rustolium rattle can primer. I've painted two trailers and prefer the premium ultra plus. Still looks great.
