I've painted my deuce several times with Aervoe spray cans (lots of
cans). I only sprayed my M105 trailer one time. I used Marine Corps
Green for all the painting, although the date of manufacture were very
different. The truck faded after the first two months in the summer
sun. I painted it again, and the color seemed to turn to a pink-gray
color rather quickly. I tried to touch up spots and the color was way
off. This was only a few weeks after the second painting.
I had a very different experience with my trailer. I painted it one
time, and it has remained very similar to it's original shade of dark
green since I painted it a few years ago. I am very happy with the
trailer, and very unhappy with the results on the truck. When I get the
truck sand blasted and painted, I cannot justify spending the money on
Aervoe, with even the possibility of having to re-do the entire job.
