Anyone else Monstaliner the body?

[coolwind57]

I got mine done last night in WWII Olive Drab.  I think I'll do a retro USMC marking theme on mine in honor of my career.   Got my bed off at the moment.  First time user of this stuff and I'm quite surprised at how thick it piled on there.  Texturing is more pronounced than expected too.  I think I'm kind of diggin' it.

 

I'd love to see pictures of member's MJs that are Monstaliner...erd.    Anyone?

Semper Fi! Any pics? Retro markings would be neat. Have to include your units line number! I remember off loading MPS ships and finding our units Vic’s by those markings.

 Yeah I want to come up with something cool. May do a combination of retro and modern marketing techniques.  Historically, the Marine Corps never got as elaborate as the US Army on vehicle markings. Hell, half the time they stole army vehicles and put them in service!  I just intend to come up with something to commemorate the Corps and my time. Doesn't have to be completely accurate,  if that's even possible. . I think it'll look really neat.   I'll take a picture of what I have so far, but I coated just last night.   Semper Fidelis.

Here's what I got so far.  Next is to reassemble the body, then I'll do my USMC markings.

I didn't have that concern, as I rolled Monstaliner.  All in all, I am pleased with the texture and finish.  There were a few very tiny, hardened bubbles mostly on top of the cab where one can't easily see them anyhow.

Playing around with stencil ideas today.  Here's what I have in mind.  USMC & Lettering (letters from my actual VIN) on both bumpers.  Unit tac symbol on tailgate and again on front quarters (or possibly doors).  And you know where the TP-25 goes of course. All in yellow, with tac symbol center filled in red.  Letter sizing in 3" with TP-25 at 1-1/2".  I used some decals I had laying around and free-handed the symbol.  I got some exacto knife work to do now.

 

I was a 3rd Surveillance Reconnaissance Intelligence Group (SRIG) guy for a while, hence the shout out to my 5th Force Recon brothers with their tactical symbol.

 

Accuracy?  Likely not so much, but it's a hellavalot of fun.

Is the gloss normal or an additive to the monstaliner?  Looks nice!

Not an additive.  Visually, It's not glossy, per sae.  I'd call it a Satin maybe.

Right, it looks nice in the pics. Not as "chalky" as some others I've seen.

BTW, thanks for your service.
