Looking at repainting my M1009 and am curious to see paints you guys are using. Rattle can Krylon, Rustolium? Any tips on paints, or brands recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

How about looking at the "What have you done to your CUCV today/lately" thread? I'll bet there is a lot of photos of CUCV's there, might even be some references to paint colors.

Nothing different in the painting of a M1009 or a M915. Just the shape of the vehicle.

CARC
Ureathanes (Sherwan Wiiliams, PPG, Dupont, etc..)
Rapco's Gillespie paint
Behr house paint
Rustoleum
rattle cans
roll on
spray on

Any combination of the above will work. It just depends on how much time and $$$ you want to spend.

The Military even used brooms and mops on ocassion

Thant's a **** of a nice paint job there. Is that all from a rattle can? I emailed RAPCO to see if they will ship ground to alaska. Nice rig...
No, most of that is a sprayer but I did touch up (actually repainted most to the drivers side door) with the rattle can. but its tricky because if your too close then you can see lines when it dries but if there's too much wind you get a ridiculous amount of over spray
