Preservation and Coating for Interior and Exterior Surfaces...
7-1. General. This section covers the application of paints to shipboard equipment, bilges, tanks, and
interior and exterior surfaces of US Army Watercraft.
7-2. Pretreating, Priming, and Insulating Metal Surfaces. Metal surfaces should be primed as soon as
practical after surface preparation. This prevents corrosion and maintains the state of preservation until
the finish coat can be applied. To prevent bimetallic corrosion, dissimilar metal surfaces must be kept
separate from each other. The preservation of metal surfaces is described below.
a. Steel Surfaces. Except when otherwise specified steel should be painted with at least one coat as
soon as practical after surface preparation. See the painting instructions pertaining to the end use of the
steel to determine the proper primer for final painting. Apply one priming coat to interior surfaces and two
coats to exterior surfaces. Give all edges, welding, rivet heads, and other protruding objects an additional
coat of primer. Clean and touch up areas that become bare or show rust.
b. Galvanized Steel:
(1) Paint all galvanized steel unless painting is specifically excluded elsewhere in this TB. Apply
epoxy paints where specified; otherwise, apply one coat of epoxy primer to surfaces that are to be
painted.
(2) Paint welds and damaged areas of galvanized surfaces as required for the surrounding
galvanized area. Apply paint only to surfaces that have been cleaned (preferably by abrasive blasting).
Where painting is not required, apply two coats of galvanizing repair paint to the welds and damaged
areas.
c. Miscellaneous Metals:
(1) In interior compartments, corrosion-resisting steel, brass, nickel-copper alloy, and copper-nickel
alloy are not required to be painted except to improve appearance. Camouflage painted exterior areas
must be coated with an epoxy primer prior to application of the finish paint.
