87937, Type I), which contain solvent. In either case,<br />

it is absolutely necessary that the surface be scrubbed<br />

while the soap is being applied. A clean water break<br />

free surface is necessary prior to additional treatment.<br />

5.6.1.1 Preferably on the day prior to painting, the surface to<br />

be coated the next day is to be cleaned. Use aircraft cleaning<br />

soap, MIL-PRF-87937, or MIL-C-43616, as appropriate.<br />

Always clean from the bottom to the top to prevent streaking<br />

and have one person applying rinse water to previously<br />

cleaned surfaces to also prevent streaking.<br />

5.6.1.2 Early on the second day, apply one coat of MIL-PRF-<br />

23377, Type I, Class 2, or MIL-DTL-53022, Type II (Lead and<br />

Chromate Free Epoxy Primer) primer to a dry film thickness<br />

of 0.6 to 1.1 mils. Drying time should be from one to two<br />

hours.<br />

5.6.1.3 Apply two thin coats of polyurethane MIL-PRF-<br />

85285 (total dry film thickness of 1.6 to 2.4 mils).<br />

5.6.1.4 After the first topcoat has been allowed to dry a maximum<br />

of 4-6 hours, apply the desired camouflage pattern. If<br />

using polyurethane, lightly scuff sand the area to be overcoated,<br />

then solvent wipe with Acetone, O-A-51, ASTM<br />

D329, prior to painting.<br />

5.7 GALVANIZED SURFACES.<br />

NOTE<br />

To prevent streaking and other problems, it is necessary<br />

to work from the bottom to the top and not allow<br />

previously worked surfaces to dry. The amount of<br />

surface area to be worked at any time should not<br />

exceed the surface area that can be zinc conversion<br />

coated epoxy primed and polyurethane topcoated in<br />

one day.<br />

5.7.1 Roof. Drape a barrier of paint drop cloths, barrier<br />

paper or other suitable material on the walls directly below<br />

area of roof to be worked. The drape should be such to prevent<br />

fluids from contacting the wall.<br />

NOTE<br />

Examine the galvanized surface prior to cleaning. If<br />

the surface appears to be dirty (not oily), then MIL-<br />

PRF-87937, Type IV soap should be sufficient to<br />

clean the surface. If the surface is oily, it will be<br />

necessary to use one of the soaps (MIL-C-43616,<br />

Type II or MIL-PRF-87937, Type I), which contain<br />

solvent. In either case, it is absolutely necessary that<br />

the surface be scrubbed while then soap is being applied.<br />

A clean water break free surface is necessary<br />

prior to additional treatment.<br />

5.7.1.1 On the day prior to painting, the surface to be coated<br />

the next day is to be cleaned. Use aircraft cleaning soap MIL-<br />

PRF-87937 as appropriate. Always clean from the bottom to<br />

the top to prevent streaking and have one person applying<br />

rinse water to previously clean surfaces to also prevent streaking.<br />

5.7.1.2 Early on the second day, apply the pretreatment compound.<br />

Again work from bottom to top applying the compound.<br />

Keep lower surfaces (even where the pretreatment<br />

compound was previously applied) flooded with water to prevent<br />

streaking.<br />

5.7.1.3 As soon as the pretreatment compound has dried,<br />

apply one coat of organic zinc-rich primer to a dry film thickness<br />

of 2.0 to 3.0 mils.<br />

5.7.1.4 Apply one heavy coat of polyurethane MIL-PRF-<br />

85285 (dry film thickness of 1.6 to 2.4 mils).<br />

5.7.1.5 After the entire roof has been topcoated and allowed<br />

to dry a maximum of 4-6 hours, apply the desired camouflage<br />

pattern. If using polyurethane, lightly scuff sand the area to be<br />

overcoated, then wipe with a scotch-brite pad, A-A-58054,<br />

Type I, Grade A, dampened with MIL-PRF-87937 diluted per<br />

manufacturer's instructions. After wiping with cleaner, rinse<br />

surface with clean cloth dampened with water and dry with<br />

clean cloth prior to painting.<br />

5.7.2 Walls and Doors. The walls should be worked only<br />

after the roof painting is complete. Work on the door can be<br />

accomplished as desired. The air intake space in the wall<br />

formed by the screen wire and acoustical panels must be protected<br />

during repainting operations to prevent entry of chemicals<br />

and paints. Cut pieces of plywood (or other barrier type<br />

materials) and push the plywood against the screen wire from<br />

the interior side. Because of the difficulty in cleaning and<br />

painting the solid wall area formed by acoustical panels and<br />

screen wire, it is recommended that a galvanized panel equal<br />

in width and length be fabricated and attached to the solid wall<br />

areas by means of locally fabricated standoffs.<br />
