Hi GRB...
I hear people on this list ripping on Aervoe paint all the time. What
exactly is wrong with it?
I painted my CUCV with Aervoe Sand 30277 about 2 years ago. It sits
in the sun all the time, gets rough treatment off-road, and gets
washed only when it rains. The Aervoe paint has not turned pink as
many people warned me it would, nor are there any other problems with
it.
A trick to any flat paint is to use a slow thinner because they all
tend to dry very quickly.
Just curious. Thanks!
