MIL-STD-171F

(e) The primer used in the GARG/camouflage system should be from the QPD and tested for conformance with the corrosion resistance specified in paragraph 4.2.3.7 of MIL-DTL-

53072 or paragraph 3.5.8 of TT-G-490. The test panels should be tested for dry film thickness prior to the salt spray test. The dry film thickness should conform to the thicknesses specified in paragraph 5.2.3 of this document.

(f) The top coat of the GARG/camouflage system should be inspected for its performance in meeting the degree of cure when tested in the solvent wipe test specified in paragraph 4.2.3.2 of MIL-DTL-53072.

(g) The dry color should be uniform for each individual part, but not necessarily from part to part.

(h) During application, the paint should not be applied in a dry spray. A dry spray would produce a chalky effect which would allow the paint to be removed just by light rubbing.

(i) Isolated marring and scratching from handling should be allowed as long as the primer is not exposed. The slight marring and scratching will not affect the camouflage properties when observed by either visual or infrared photographic means.
