Table 3-2. Pretreatment Instructions<br />

Material<br />

A. FERROUS ALLOYS other than<br />

stainless steel, mill-galvanized or<br />

mill-electrozinc coating, or mill-aluminized<br />

surfaces. (Continued)<br />

Finish Process<br />

3. Primer - The preferred coating system over abrasive blasted ferrous alloys is a<br />

zinc-rich primer and intermediate primer system. The primers will be applied in a<br />

“wet-to-wet” process. The basecoat zinc-rich primer, (MIL-PRF-26915) is<br />

applied and the intermediate primer (MIL-DTL-53030) is applied shortly thereafter<br />

over the zinc-rich primer.<br />

Follow the coating manufacturers' application instructions for the mixing, delays<br />

between the primer application and the required application equipment.<br />

The base coat zinc-rich primer shall conform to MIL-PRF-26915. Dry film thickness<br />

of the zinc-rich primer should be 2.0 - 2.5 mils. The intermediate primer<br />

shall conform to MIL-DTL-53030. Dry film thickness for MIL-DTL-53030 shall<br />

be 0.9 to 1.1 mils. If the surface is not reconditioned to bare metal, the use of a<br />

non-chromate tie-coat is recommended. Apply MIL-PRF-23377, Type I, Class N<br />

or MIL-DTL-53022, Type II over the areas to be painted.<br />

4. Topcoat - Paint with one coat of MIL-PRF-85285, Type I applied to a dry film<br />

thickness of 1.6 to 2.4 mils.<br />

B. STAINLESS STEEL AND NICKEL<br />

BASE ALLOYS.<br />

1. Most stainless steel surfaces do not require finishing. If there are requirements in<br />

the equipment specific technical order to coat stainless steel, and the technical<br />

order provided the coating procedures those instructions shall take precedence. If<br />

no instructions are available and coatings are required use the following application<br />

processes.<br />

2. Clean in accordance with Chapter 2, if the surface remains contaminated refer to<br />

<strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691.<br />

3. Passivate the surface in accordance with SAE-AMS-QQ-P-<strong>35</strong> (Depot or Contractor<br />

levels of maintenance only).<br />

4. Primer - MIL-DTL-53022, Type II (Lead and Chromate Free, Epoxy Primer).<br />

Allow the primer to dry. Dry film thickness for MIL-DTL-53022, Type II primed<br />

surfaces shall be 0.9 to 1.1 mils.<br />

5. Finish - Paint with one coat of MIL-PRF-85285 applied to a dry film thickness of<br />

1.6 to 2.4 mils. Total dry film thickness of all coatings: MIL-DTL-53022, Type II<br />

primed surfaces shall be 2.5 to 3.5 mils.<br />

C. MAGNESIUM ALLOYS. 1. Clean in accordance with Chapter 2, if the surface remains contaminated refer to<br />

<strong>TO</strong> 1-1-691.<br />

2. Pretreat with dichromate film per SAE-AMS-M-3171, Type III.<br />

3. Primer - Prime with one coat of epoxy primer, MIL-PRF-23377, Type I, Class 2.<br />

Dry film thickness for MIL-PRF-23377 primed surfaces shall be 0.6 to 0.8 mils.<br />

4. Finish - Finish with one coat of MIL-PRF-85285 applied to a dry film thickness<br />

of 1.6 to 2.4 mils. Total dry film thickness of all coatings: MIL-PRF-23377<br />

primed surfaces shall be 2.2 to 3.2 mils.<br />
