Humvee Build - Painting the Humvee (Camo)

[@RakTheGoose]

you should always start with painting the whole thing green, then put on the camo colors

[@hungryhungryhummer]

It's a humvee. It will get beat up anyway. May as well do it the easy way.

[@brentcos9370]

Thank you for sharing! The painting was a lot of work, but so was the video editing!

[@RakTheGoose]

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

03:37 AM and here I am, laying in my bed, watching a humvee getting painted...

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.

[@edbo10]

Damn son the end result was really well done

[@DakotaWoodHD]

Thanks buddy!

[@wuilderhund]

Gefällt mir gut dein Humvee, hast du gut gemacht :-) Sieht aus wie mein Hummer :-)-I like your Humvee, have you done well :-) Looks like my Humvee ...

[@DakotaWoodHD]

Thank you! Vielen Dank :-)

[@wuilderhund]

Perfect :-)

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.

[@caseygaston568]

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.

[@DakotaWoodHD]

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.

[@collinsfamily5395]

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.

[@juandebastos8148]

Nice job man!! Keep’em coming!

[@Bud......]

Germany everything would be painted first in olive green, then comes the camouflage pattern !!!! and not the other way around

[@pfcthomasblackhawk1100]

Maverick & Goose I woulda done it that way too.

[@KevinsDatsun]

[@pfcthomasblackhawk1100]

[@jibjr7038]

Nice work men

[@arysv.8538]

Great job. I love how this is coming together. I'm in Tampa and would love to get my hands in a humvee. Where can I buy one?

[@m998hmmwv7]

Two hours later and you didnt say what kind or how much stuff you mixed with the paint?

[@boxwoodgreen]

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.

[@MrJeep75]

I would of left those nice unit markings on the kick corner panel

[@RakTheGoose]

ayy, ebay gillsepe black paint

[@frankstalnaker7463]

I'm over here in waterford lakes if you guys need any help... Free labor... :)

[@Marcustrismegistus]

[@Bearskimethod]

[@mattsvintageshop2925]

[@DakotaWoodHD]

Jorge Quiros I will be selling them when I’m done with restoring them. I’ll post a link when it’s time

[@jorgequiros3990]

[@tomhmmwv]

How is mixed your paint? Type of thinner? Thx.

[@jeeplord4067]

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

[@bennygade3786]

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.

[@DakotaWoodHD]

Hello! If you would like to email me at [e-mail] I can try and help you out with getting one over there.

[@koningbolo4700]

NICE ! NATO all the way

[@MrJeep75]

You paint the whole rig green then lay out your camo pattern

[@MrJeep75]

You need to screen that paint in a paint bucket

[@sf1139]

Where did you get your paint?

[@slunktycoon]

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.

[@rocketlife9549]

Such a small area to cover doing camo that your paint sprayer was a waste of time should have just rattle bombed

[@montanaprepper3926]

Wish you painted it FDE. Then hit the fenders with coyote brown. That would have looked sick. Not a fan of the woodland camo.

[@lipo112233]

QUE LE ENSEÑEN A PINTAR PRIMERO LE QUEDARA COMO EL OYO

[@MrJeep75]

Wow, this is not how you paint camo
