Thanx to Jim, Jeff, and Fred who replied and helped with my question on paint and camo patterns for my M1009!
Wanted to send a special thanx to Hank from www.military-markings.com up in NH for his quick response and assistance in selling me the Gillespie paint I needed to paint my M1009. He went above and beyond by offering to bring it down to NJ to save shipping. As it happened, I was headed to NH for the weekend and so picked it up from Ronzo. Luckily the undercover paint police did not catch us making the parking lot transaction.
With any luck and a break in the weather, I’ll have her green by the end of the weekend.

> Hi All,
> With winter just around the corner, I have decided to paint over my winter camo paint job(DC gov white and gray primer paint job) with a nice 3 color green camo paint, job so that I don’t loose her in the snow.
> Couple questions about painting an M1009 for those of you with experience.
>
> Do you recommend removing the brush guard and grill and painting them off the truck to get in all the nooks and crannies?
>
> I have some surplus paint but do not know if it is CARC. Would it say so on the can, and is CARC always a 2-part paint?
>
> If it’s not correct, any recommendations on where to get the correct color CARC paint? And yes, I am aware of the spraying hazards of CARC.
>
> Lastly, recommendations on how to paint the proper camo job, i.e. freehand, stencils, draw it with pencil first, and where to find the correct camo layout.
>
> Thanx in advance.
