Default One Step Closer

The 1945 HUP is now registered, insured and plated as a Historical Vehicle. This put more onus on me to get it on the road before the snow flies. While Bob and Grant were bivouacking at Kingston today, I rolled the HUP out for a quick primer paint job. This was done to prepare for the lusterless olive green paint that I will be shooting on next week - after fixing some bondo issues that the primer revealed.

Not that it would have happened with this particular vehicle, but here it is under new management:

Excellent work Rob. Terrific to see that you guys at the barn managed to get two CMP's registered and back on the road over the past few weeks!
Well done Hammond crew!

Have you decided on markings yet?

Alex

Alex, Since this late model HUP never left Canada, and never went into service with any army (although it was part of a Brit Service Order), I think I will just leave it green as seen in the attached photo. Gotta be different!

Default Incredibly Good Lookin Hulk

Saturday morning's weather was perfect to shoot some green paint. After setting up the truck, paint supplies and equipment, Bob and Grant joined me in putting my Metal Mistress in a new dress of green.

After a brief lesson on paint gun control, Bob tended to the mixing of the paint with Grant providing a hand. It sure made things go fast when you have someone reloading for you. My thanks to the boys for taking the time to help out with this task.

While the first coat went on well, there were some areas that will need a second coat at a later date. Overall, I was happy with the result, and now the HUP looks like a "real" CMP!

5 - Bringing up the rear
