Help with paint color

I wonder how it would come out of an airless paint sprayer

Haven't a clue, I used a three inch brush to paint my shop van with Behr "green 383 camo" (the official name of FS34094) - took about a gallon.

airless sprayers are not as goodlooking as the HLVP guns...It goes on too thick...

If I thinned it a hair and ran a thin tip it might work? Maybe?

Go %60 paint and %40 percent water...Might lay nice. Youll see right away too...its forgiving paint...like REALLY forgiving...lol..I spray eveything in that crap now...lol....lockers, gear, you name it..lol...

We have been talking about the Behr paint for a few years now.

I guess I need to move this to the paint forum

Painted the Pinzgauer and M101A2 with Valspar Signature paint in a Panzer Gray/Green and used a brush. If you take your time and use a very good brush the results can be amazing and touch ups are a breeze.

Personally, I would avoid the Gillespie RAPCO paint. It's way too glossy and fades quickly. My paint preference is BEHR exterior Flat mixed in the appropriate Federal Standard Color Codes.

Our stuff sits on a flightline...rarely goes into the brush...so the abrasion resist is not as hot with the Behr ultra...BUT...if your draggin a trailer? this stuff will last you three or four years.....without fading..just like your house..lol...

I was back "home" to see my mom a few months ago. Dropped by my old house. I painted it about 20 years ago. It's still the same paint. It still looks just fine. Flat walls, semi-gloss trim. Looks basically like when we lived there. I am 100% sure it has not been repainted, and I'm 90% sure it's never been maintained in any way.

House paint just isn't what it used to be in the old days. It's way better.

This is from one of the guys here on the forum a few yrs back. It might help you figure out your trailer's color. It's "Rapco" paint so YMMV.
