Plus one on that Steve...the Rustoluem is the way to go.
Not looking forward to it though, I still have nightmares from the M1a2 I did with that method!
The masking sessions ughhh!

I BELIEVE those are air filter intakes. I remember having to lift the hood and remove an armored plate to get at the air filter to clean it out. I seem to remember it being in that area.
Quoted TextVery well done. I remember that hatch locking mechanism getting bent and ruined on almost all of our trucks. To follow up with with Rob said, the non skid on these was not as cleanly done as on an Abrams, so you have some wiggle room.
Ours were tied up with bailing wire because the gunners were always very anxious about having those doors come sliding closed and cutting the gunner in half or breaking their pelvis. Good place to store stuff as I recall. Regarding the vents on the sides of the engine cover, I BELIEVE those are air filter intakes.

That space between the turret platform and the roof was absolutely a great place to keep your stuff. I always kept my lube, SAW ammo, M4 mags in bandoliers, frags smoke and flares, and of course Rip It's in mine. Anything bigger went into the bustle rack on the back of the turret, ie: .50 cal ammo. 240 ammo was always below the radio rack so it was easy enough to get to should I need it.
