Some of you may have followed my RV story in chit chat.

Basically I have a 32' Moho that needs some uniqueness added.

I wanted to do it all flat black but that is just to much. So I have settled on a desert sand and flat black motif.

My question is. What paint to use. I don't think I want to use a real mil-spec carc paint but then again I am clueless and figured you guys can steer me in the best direction.

I found a Rust-oleum flat Khaki I like but of course it doesn't come in gallons.

So doing some net searching I found the Kyrlon brand but need to go find an Ace store and see if I like the color.

Here is my favorite rendition of what I am hoping for :smokin:

.

Just to be clear.

I am asking for recommendations on a brand of flat desert sand or Khaki in gallons.

oh and I have not only the OK but am being encouraged by the lady friend to add and element to the design. :smokin:

Go to a parts store that sells paint. Tell them what color you want and them them you want it in a cheap acrylic ennamel. Its a one part paint that is tough and should be easy to work with. It is commonly used on tractors.

I Think you should stick with the flat black, that would look sick! Murder that fawker out!

so you are saying that instead of getting specific advise from my friends here on Pirate4x4 who have first hand experiance with all sorts of brands and camo painting experiance I should go to auto-zone and rely on some 17 year old pimple face stonner for my paint tech ? ya thats great :laughing:

Honestly that is what I wanted but I just don't think a huge murdered out flat black moho is gonna be that neat of a theme.

I am thinking more of a mad max goes to Iraq kinda look

No, go to a real parts store.

My place uses DuPont. Do you need me to go look up the code for you?

there are no more real parts stores in this neck of the woods that I am aware of. just Auto zones and the like :( well a few old napa stores with inventory so old it is rusty. :laughing:

Camo, for color reference....

my rig I had w/ me at KOH was Krylon desert camo colors (Khaki, medium brown, and brown)

Ahh but with the right adornments it would flow welll I think. I wish I knew how to photoshop, I could put up some ideas. I have always wanted a murdered moho!

Bass Pro and the like sell it, I have seen guys use it on boats, jeeps etc.

Desert MARPAT would be sick

edit by camo.... keep the pics on Pirate4x4 800x800 max size please please

How much would you estimate you would need? I might be able to talk with some friends in motor-t....

Where you at Camo? There are Sherwin Williams everywhere... since your location only says 'Rubicon' - here are a shit ton in Placerville and Sacramento :D

painted the front quarter panel today with rattle cans to see if I liked the paint scheme.

I'm using krylon to do the desert marpat on the rig, but it a grant total of like 40 square feet. Tractor supplys enamal is almost indestructible, and easy to spray but I don't know if they have your color. I also like ppg with their flattening agent. Its the best paint IMHO but its spendy.

Doc,

Your ticket will be waiting at the airport counter. :smokin:

You can even hide a few cocks in the scheme :flipoff2:

i'd stop by both sherwin williams and and auto paint supply store and see what they recommend. they have both of those in placerville and probably in auburn, which ever side of the divide you want to pop out on.

i know you can get a mil-spec polane finish from sherwin williams but it would be expensive to coat an entire moho. many of the firearm finishes are very similar to polane.

I'd bet the krylon in the aerosol cans, can be had by the gallon.

At least that way, touch-ups would be an easy match. My ace guy will order stuff for me. Otherwise some online dealers are there as well.

These are online dealers listed on the Krylon website.

What are the color codes on your aerosol bombs?

You can get most enamels in satin or with a satin additive. I know Majic sells gallons of camo enamel as well

oh and any decent hunting place should have this:

oh and thin with zylene or whatever and get a cheap ass harbor freight sprayer so you don't have to ruin a quality gun.

this stuff comes in spray, quarts (maybe it was pints?) and gallons: http://shop.coversuperstore.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.prodInfo&productID=7963&categoryID=0

i used the spray on a rifle over 5 years ago and it is still holding up great.

this is the rifle that was finished in the spray. i am pretty sure that the "marsh grass" is the tan color:

my experience trying to get my truck painted OD:

went to sherman williams retail, and industrial, and automotive.
nothing that WASNT latex or glossy OR over 100 bucks.
i got some camo paint from ace hardware (local folk) and it was latex. it didnt show that on the outside of the can, so i ended up having to scrub it off again the next morning..... over night it rusted thru :rolleyes:



finally settled on home depot. was the only fucking paint that i could find that was gonna stick and be worth it. they had rustoleum dark olive in a satin finish. close enough. it will protect from rust, and is solvent based. used 4 quarts (gallon) to paint it. 7.68 a quart.


used a roller and a 2 inch brush. sanded with 180 and washed with gasoline and acetone


to date its been a little over a year. the roof needs to be repainted due to the heat, but the rest of the truck looks bangin still..... no severe fade from the sun (sits in the driveway the whole time) minus where i bent the fawk outta the sheet metal. im impressed with its worthyness. i need to hit the spots that are rusting where the paint was rubbed off by tree's and re-brush those areas.


the star i went to hobby lobby and found a big fucking star..... just traced it onto some paper and taped it on the doors. easy.

maybe a big Bogger tire track down the side :smokin:

replace the black stripe with a black tire track over the tan color

replace the black stripe with a black tire track over the tan color

I concur, the way it's going to look now with the solid black stripe and desert tan upper area makes it look like the owner went redneck on a perfectly good stock Moho paint job with spray can camo and its probably held up inside with a small aresenal of guns and moonshine. :flipoff2: I think the bogger track will say "Some time and thought went into this"

replace the black stripe with a black tire track over the tan color

I like that idea.
I bet you could get that as a skin pretty reasonably priced

Two words: A Team.

All you need is black and red. And a spoiler.

fawk, just get a bogger and hold it sideways off a tire carrier or something :confused:


roll that bitch down the sides while painting the lugs as it rolls :smokin:

maybe a big Bogger tire track down the side :smokin:

YJ4Rox did a bogger pattern for our club decal.
Might contact him to get the pattern to copy.

Ooh, I know. Do the A-team theme, but instead of just a plain red pinstripe, use the bogger track. :D

actually I was thinking of moving the black lower section down to only do the compartment doors and then doing a black bogger tire tracks where the existing stripes are now.

I believe that SOILENTGREEN is the PBB paint man - have you checked with him yet?

Best I can do at the moment. I dont have a bogger vector so i used a krawler

boggers are so '90s anyways:flipoff2:

from the paint scheme thread Ken Carter proposed this :smokin:

Looks like now I will need to find all the colors in flat

NOW THATS FAWKING COOL! :beer:

Thats SHitt Hawtt :smokin:

You mean the PBB isn't full of 17 year old pimple faced stoners? :confused: :flipoff2:

now I need to figure out how to create the art work and make the stencils

looks like it will take a few different patterns

.

looks like it will take a few different patterns

. . . or one hot chick willing to take one for the team.

ETA: Now that I think about it, all you need is a model, a light source, and some template paper and you can trace out some templates pretty quickly. If not that, you could use an overhead projector to enlarge some smaller templates.

. . . or one hot chick willing to take one for the team.

I know a few hot chicks willing to pose for the job. the question is how do you go from a live chick posing to a stencil ?

Look up

Look up

I see the light :flipoff2:

Would it be too expensive to just do a wrap like Travis did on his buggy instead of painting it?

Simular graffic, just skulls instead of chicks in a Camo pattern:

Bright Light behind the model so her shadow goes onto a large peice of paper for you to trace. You never did this back in elementary school or something?
