MIL-DTL-14072F
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be
helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. This specification is intended for use as a subsidiary document
to specifications and drawings covering ground based electronic equipment. It specifies
required finishes in detail by finish numbers.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the
following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
c. Surveillance inspection required (see 4.2).
6.3 Cross reference between discontinued and superseding finishes.
6.3.1 Discontinued paint film designators. Cross references between
discontinued letters and superseding letters are in accordance with Table X.
6.3.2 Discontinued plated, M finishes. Cross references between discontinued
and superseding M numbers are in accordance with Table XI.
6.3.3 Discontinued finishes or processes other than painting or plating, E finishes.
Cross references between discontinued and superseding E numbers are as indicated in
Table XII.
6.3.4 Cross reference of basic paint finishes, P numbers. Revision A included, in
many cases, multiple choice of treatments to be applied under the same P number.
Revision B used a decimal system in these cases to assign a specific P number for each
treatment. Table XIII is a cross reference for Revisions A, B, C, D andE. It includes
continued, superseding, and discontinued P numbers.
6.3.5 CARC paints. The CARC paint specifications are based on pigment
formulations to meet specific color and spectral reflectance requirements and not a visual
color match. Therefore, each film is extremely flat in appearance and has a slight surface
texture. The visual color will vary depending on the texture and type of substrate to
which it has been applied, the orientation of the paint film and the direction from which
the paint film is illuminated and observed. These paints will wear as a result of handling
or rubbing, especially if the paint film has not been fully cured. The marring is due to the
smearing of the pigments which are close to or at the surface of these paint films. Paint
films AG, AG and AI afford better protection against exposure of the base metal since it
is applied over an epoxy primer.
