classic symptom of the humvee bug, it's an incurable...disease, but that feels wrong - debate is raging within the medical community as to whether it is actually a disease or the next step in human evolution
When I painted mine I used primer first. Like yours, I had fiberglass hood repair and some exposed aluminum after the prep. The paint topcoat probably won’t stick well to exposed metal. Also I did a green coat first and then did the brown and black over the green base coat. I took a tour of the AM gen factory and they used a “proprietary method” to anneal the paint to the aluminum body because it’s difficult to get paint to stick to aluminum. Always use gloves and resistor mask when reducing the paint with xylene, it can cause liver cancer.
also highly recomended that you sandblast/media blast the headlight covers that hold the headlight to the bucket, they rust very easily and will drip rust in about 2-3 months if you wash it
Thanks! & yeah I will be doing it differently next time. It wasn't bad for my first real camo job though. Next time I will paint the whole truck green as the base color and then the black and brown.
I really like the detail work you put into these hmmwvs. I served in the Army. And went to Afghanistan. Looking forward to auto body school so I can buy and build one of my own.
The way you're painting, you'd be better off with rattle cans. I did mine with rustolium camo rattle cans(all 4 colors) and gave it a 3D camo paint job. I didn't even sand it. Just degreased and pressure washed it. The CARC really sucks the paint in and holds strong. It's been three years since I did the paint and have had no peeling at all. Plus the 3D camo really stands out when sitting next to other m998's.
Anytime you are using solvents or paint you need to wear the appropriate gloves, filter mask, and safety glasses. Your family and friends want you to be around for a long time.
dude that Humvee is badass. i have a question, what brand name paint did you use for the green paint ?? i am restoring 1985 chevy k5 blazer m1008 truck that was used in military im trying to find correct military green.
Hey man! I got all of my paint from this seller on eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/Military-Paint-Gallon-383-CARC-substitute-or-34094-flat-green-MUTT-M35-Hummer-/273967743883?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
Hey. Hope you will help me. I am looking to import a Humvee to Denmark, i am the first one so theres no places i can seek informations, will you give me these numbers, they are needed for me to seek the tax price for a Humvee. Official miles per gallon / kilometers per liter. The actual weight. (If you know which configuration is the lightest i would like to know) Highest official weight load at the rear axle. Sorry for my bad english, its not my main language.
Shhhh. Be quiet. Tonight is the night that we ride. 30 camouflaged Hummers with n-words inside...with choppers...doing surgery on bodies like they're doctors.
3:49...what the Hell?...you live in a 2 story mansion and don't have a funnel and work table?...talk about white privilege gone wrong..just joking!..my white privilege is really malfunctioning
you should always start with painting the whole thing green, then put on the camo colors
It's a humvee. It will get beat up anyway. May as well do it the easy way.
Thank you for sharing! The painting was a lot of work, but so was the video editing!
Damn son the end result was really well done
Thanks buddy!
03:37 AM and here I am, laying in my bed, watching a humvee getting painted...
TiMeJ34nD1T Go to sleep! 😂😂

The driver side, hood and tailgate looks great! You could have used more time on matching the passenger side pattern. New paint made it really pop.

Hello! If you would like to email me at Dakotawoodhd@gmail.com I can try and help you out with getting one over there.
How long does it take to get one after u buy it? I'm looking for a summer project becuase this is my last summer in high school
How can I buy one?
Jorge Quiros I will be selling them when I’m done with restoring them. I’ll post a link when it’s time
@@DakotaWoodHD how much it would cost?
NICE ! NATO all the way
Where did you get your paint?
You paint the whole rig green then lay out your camo pattern
Shhhh. Be quiet. Tonight is the night that we ride. 30 camouflaged Hummers with n-words inside...with choppers...doing surgery on bodies like they're doctors.
You need to screen that paint in a paint bucket
Such a small area to cover doing camo that your paint sprayer was a waste of time should have just rattle bombed
Wish you painted it FDE. Then hit the fenders with coyote brown. That would have looked sick. Not a fan of the woodland camo.
QUE LE ENSEÑEN A PINTAR PRIMERO LE QUEDARA COMO EL OYO
Wow, this is not how you paint camo
