Newbie Dumb Question #1 - Paint
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2012 6:47 am
Hi Guys,
Ok.....I've read thru many of the posts here and on other military sites and I realize asking paint questions, especially "what color should my vehicle be" can get really ugly and lead to bad things. So I won't go there. But assuming I have chosen a paint color (let's call it "green" and want to replicate the vehicle as it left the assembly line......here's my questions;
1. Where the M37s painted AFTER they were assembled, or did all the parts come painted "green" from the respective vendors? I'm asking because I've looked at hundreds of photos on the web of M37s but I don't think any of them are original paint vehicles. So I' wondering if let's say....the frames and driveline were black when they got to the assembly line....or they were already green?
2. Were the engines painted "green" or were they some other color?
3. Were there any parts of the vehicle not painted "green", other than seats and tires and such? Was the front of the radiator painted "green" or was it left black?
thanks,
bob
