15. PAINT
The following equipment will be furnished with the completed unit:
- One (1) bag of chrome, stainless steel, or cadmium plated screws, nuts, bolts and washers, as used in the
construction of the unit.
PAINT
The cab/chassis and body will be painted Yellowish-Green to meet the requirements of the FAA Advisory
Circular No. 150/5210-5C, Appendix A.
The exterior custom body painting procedure will consist of a six- (6) step finishing process as follows:
1. Manual Surface Preparation - All exposed metal surfaces on the custom cab and body will be thoroughly
cleaned and prepared for painting. Surfaces that will not be painted include chrome plating, polished stainless
steel, anodized aluminum and bright aluminum treadplate. Each imperfection on the exterior metal surface will
be removed or filled and then sanded smooth for a smooth appearance. All seams will be sealed before
painting.
2. Chemical Cleaning and Treatment - The aluminum surfaces will be properly cleaned using a 4-phase, high
pressure and high temperature acid etching system. All steel surfaces will be properly treated using a 3-phase,
high temperature, cleaning/phosphatizing system. Surfaces are chemically cleaned to remove all dirt, oil, grease
and metal oxides to ensure the subsequent coatings bond well. The chemical treatment converts the metal
surface to a passive condition to prevent corrosion. An ultra pure water final rinse of 25 parts per million solids
or less, will be applied to final rinse all metal surfaces, (excluding undercarriage components), at the conclusion
of the metal treatment process. This final rinse ensures all chemical residues are removed and that no minerals,
(salts), from the water dry onto the metal surface and remain under the primers and topcoats. These salts can
lead to blistering and under film corrosion. The pH of the final rinse drainage coming off the treated metal will
be measured and within 1.0 pH of the pure water supply, (5.0 pH).
34
3. Primer/Surfacer Coats - A minimum of two (2) mil dry, (.002), of two component urethane primer/surfacer
will be hand applied to the chemically treated metal surfaces to provide a strong corrosion protective base coat
and to smooth out the surface. The primer is a high solids and low VOC paint.
4. Hand Sanding to Ultra Fine Finish The primer/surfacer coat is lightly sanded with mild abrasive paper to an
ultra smooth finish. This hand finish process is critical to produce the smooth mirror like finish in the topcoat.
5. Sealer Primer Coat A two- (2) component sealer primer coat is applied over the sanded primer to again build
toward the final smooth finish. This layer of primer sealer also gives additional corrosion protection.
6. Topcoat Paint Two (2) coats of an automotive grade, two component acrylic urethane paint are applied to
provide the lasting beauty and durability. The acrylic urethane topcoat contains a clear coat resin chemistry that
creates the high gloss and depth of image. This type of topcoat provides the best resistance against acid rain
and other more common chemicals. The paint finish will have a surface gloss of no less than 90.00 percent
reflection measured on a 60-degree geometry.
A cyclic corrosion test, (General Motors test GM-9511P), of20 cycles will be required before making changes
to the exterior coating process. Exterior coating systems, (excluding the undercarriage components), must
achieve a 1/16 or less maximum creep from the scribe for aluminum and an 1/8 or less maximum creep from the
scribe for galvanneal after 20 cycles in the General Motors GM-9511P test. Traditional salt spray tests have
been proven in multiple studies to not accurately predict real world corrosion performance.
Each batch of color topcoat, together with the finish painted vehicle, is tested for precise color match. Visual
color match will be checked following ASTM D-1729, (American Standard Testing Methods), procedures using
CIE, (International Commission on Illumination), D75 Northern Daylight light source. Instrumental color
match will follow ASMT D-2244 procedures with a maximum delta E of 1.0 for whites, 1.4 for yellows, blues,
greens and 1.5 for reds.
All removable items such as brackets, compartment doors, door hinges, and trim will be removed and painted
separately to insure paint behind all mounted items. Body assemblies that can not be finish painted after
assembly will be finish painted before assembly.
Prior to reassembly and reinstallation of lights, handrails, door hardware and any miscellaneous items an
isolation tape, gasket or dielectric material will be used to prevent damage to the finish painted surfaces. A
nylon washer will be installed under each acorn nut or metal screw that is fastened directly to an exterior
painted surface.
PAINT - ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACT
The Fire Equipment Supplier will meet or exceed our current State regulations concerning paint operations.
Pollution control will include measures to protect the atmosphere, water and soil. Controls will include the

dry filter means is used, it will have an efficiency rating of 98.00%. Water wash systems will be 99.97%
efficient.
- Water from water wash booths will be reused. Solids will be removed mechanically on a continual basis to
keep the water clean.
- Paint wastes will be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.

Additionally, the finished apparatus will not be manufactured with or contain products that have ozone
depleting substances. Fire Equipment Supplier will, upon demand, present evidence that their manufacturing
facility meets the above conditions and that it is in compliance with our State EP A rules and regulations.
WARRANTY - PAINT AND CORROSION
Limited Warranty
Except as provided below, and provided the vehicle has been placed in service within 60 days after delivery to
the original purchaser as established by an original invoice, for a period often (10) years after delivery to the
