kaiserkoski's truck has the stock paint and its kinda red....is that how all of them were? or is their another color i can use

The inside cab would be OD even when the outside has been painted a differen color. The military rarely bothers to repaint the inside of the cab and the factory delivered them in OD.

I spent about a half an hour looking at new trucks right from the factory at the Armory the other day and 1/3 of the trucks where flat forest green, 1/3 were nato 3 color camo and 1/3 were flat sand. You could see on the sand trucks where they were taped off and shot sand over the OD. Rubber was painted sand, sand paint on the tires, around the lights etc I open the cab door and guess what....Flat Forest Green on the inside! So kwai was right on the money!

Kaiserkoski's truck was used in the middle east, was it not? Egypt or such, as I recall. So the color may be completely different from what you'd normally expect to see.

I remember he said he was curious as to what the Arabic writing on his tailgate meant, so he did what makes perfect sense...he took it by a convenience store and asked the clerk! lol.....

[foodstamp]

hey, my hood seams kinda floppie, it has the 2 braces that go down the middle, and the ridge in the center, but it seems a little floppie, its still strong, but you know what i mean. is your guys like that too?

[fisherman]

A floppy Hood? sounds like a problem. Oh you mean your truck. They are kinda floppy. Don't worry about it if all your hood supports are there and it works. You wouldn't want to climb or walk accross it either.

[foodstamp]

ya lol...ok i was just wondering, i was sanding it down, and its really floppy kinda on the sides closer to the middle ridge you know what i mean man.

what is the deal, ok im using rustoleum primer, and when i go to sand it, it sorta rubs off, its kinda rubberie, and it cakes up the sandpaper quick and makes a big mess on the truck. its a pain in the turd cutter.

[fisherman]

You need sandable primer. And then some primers that aren't that sandable can be sanded, just need to let them cure a few days. I use sandable primer over body repairs or areas of filler. When that spot looks and feels good I use the red oxide over everything. Let the red oxide dry for a few days, sand with 400 grit, blow off and tack rag. Then shoot Gillespie.
