M1123 Radio mounting rack

[aghumvee]

ON the dash? The only holes I see on mine are on top, but I'm not really clear on how these mount.

I think some versions (998's?) have mounting holes in the front?

Looks great. What paint did you use? I need to touch up some stuff and hoping to find something easy in a spray can. I've read that the rapco stuff is a decent match for 383 green, but a bit more glossy compared to original carc. Probably close enough for me.

For what it's worth, I tried the rustoleum camo paint as a test. They have a couple greens that are too bright and too dark, so no dice there. Their camo black is a great match though, noticeably flatter than a typical matte black and a good match for the carc.

Thank you! This is the place I bought my paint from. The colors are spot on! I've touched up my truck and you can't tell a difference and price wasn't to bad.

383 “CARC” or 34094 Flat Green 1 Gallon – Paint Gallons – Quarter Ton & Military

Goes on glossy, but dries to a perfect color. I bought the spray cans.

Thanks. for the spray paint, do you remember what color you ordered? Their options are confusing (I think some labeling mistakes). They list 383 as a carc brown, which I don't think is right. I don't see a 383 green listed under the spary paints. The gallons make sense.

The standard camo is 383 green, 383 brown, and black. Each color has a specific 5 digit number.

Thanks, that makes more sense, I thought 383 was the code for the color. Looks like this is probably the correct green (34094?) -

 

[Coug]

yes, 34094 is the 383 green in the modern 3 color camo

Here's the three you need.

They have good paint and the rattle cans have done an amazing job for me.

I have done several touch-ups on my M1089 and M1088 and they are 5 years apart. After a few rains and a little sunshine you can't really pick out the "factory carc" from the RAPCO rattle can repairs that I have done.

I use a 3M scruff pad after I paint it and let it dry and it matches perfect.

Is Rapco and "quarter ton parts" selling the same paint or is it different? Rapco is a little cheaper, but not enough to matter much if one vendor is better than the other. Both good vendors with same paint?

There is a whole paint and restoration forum on steel soldiers. Also you can get Behr paint codes in that same forum where the colors match up well.

Paint Information (Codes and Sources)

I'd like to say this is all me but a lot of people post various codes and a few in the last couple of days so I thought I'd put a sticky up for quicker reference. White...several DesertTan 686A....33446 Sand ..................33303 Dark Sandstone.....33510 Earth Yellow..........33245 Field...

I've spent some time looking through that, lots of info (so much it's kind of confusing to me). If I was going to do the entire truck, I'd probably go with the behr latex, but I plan to keep the original carc and I just need some touch up spray (mostly for interior stuff). I figured the rapco stuff is probably fine for what I'm doing, I'm not trying to create a museum piece.

Wow, it is cheaper at Rapco. I just looked up the paint codes online and found quarter ton. I know you can use behr latex paint from Home Depot, but I'd rather use enamel. It holds up much better on metal.

 

[blutow]

Wow, it is cheaper at Rapco.

Paint was a little cheaper, shipping was a little more, so about a wash.

I know with quarter ton it was shipped super fast.

That’s exactly what I want for my m1123. I was looking for one, but like you I didn’t want to get the wrong one. Looks great.
