Summer is here and I think I'm finally going to have some time to work with
my M35. It could really use a paint job! The OD greens don't all match and
there's even some blue showing in spots.
How realistic is it to think I can paint this thing at home?
I have a compressor, spray gun, and sandblaster. I figured I'd just go
around and clean up any rust (either sanding or sandblasting), smooth
everything else out with some sandpaper, tape of the "non-painted" parts,
and spray away. I'd also take off the easy things like mirrors separately.
Also I'd rather not have to send off for paint. Is there a color/brand that
is close to the modern OD green that can be found at the local NAPA?
Thanks for any tips or tricks!
