Here is a link to a thread on SS about flat black deuces. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/51310-flat-black-deuce.html

Check the 2010 GA Rally multimedia page. There you will find pics of pctrans bobbed 5 ton in flat black. It looks sinister.

PCTRANS,

Your truck paint job is exactly what I am looking for.
It looks outstanding!

Can you give me any info on how you painted and what supplies you used?

Thank you.

 

[Fort Powell]

Thank you all for the links and pictures.

Back in the 1990s some of the Marine Corps "Super Jeeps" were painted flat black.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET

yankeedeuce has a black one, but it's gloss.

I remember seeing the black jeeps on Camp Lejeune. A few of them were out on the ranges for targets.
I think some had TOWS on them as well. I always thought they were with Recon.

I want my paint job to look as good as PCTRANS.
I have a lot of work to do before I get there.
I need to get the MODS done first.

Flat black is nice unless you live here in Florida where it will bake you alive in it.

not that it counts,,, but years ago a fellow co-worker had a flat black toyota v6. Helped him fix a fuel leak on the fuel rail...... we teased him about the brush strokes in the paint,, but he did use his truck, so I give him credit

SIDE STORY....... I love having good neighbors, that happen to be parts managers at the dealership,,, and they open up the shop after hours( after you just called them durring dinner).... and get the parts we needed ,,,the computers were off,,,,,, I just gave my Word that it would get paid by someone else......

Also,,, in the dessert, driving around.... anytime near sunrise or sunset,,, it(flat anything) dosent blind you, speaking from personal experience........ I HATE,,,, HATE new glossy white company trucks..... I was lucky to find some gas welding glasses in order to get home from a long work run up to Lost Vegas.

High temperature flat black barbeque paint works great for the exhaust stack and wheels. I have never tried it on any other body surfaces.

At first when maddawg said glossy black, I was thinking why? Now that I have stared at it for about 5 minutes, I think I like it. Good looking paint job.

I've built two "Bliz Black" trucks, pictures here:

Trucks

Blitz Black is a matte black John Deere color that is popular with the street rod / lead sled guys. It's very affordable, about $50 a gallon, and tough as nails (use hardener with it).

Thanks Mikew.
The trucks look great.
What are the details on the Deuce trailer you made?

I have a 2nd truck coming and that is an idea I had.

Fort Powell, per your request....
