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 />
