Aerosol

MILSPRAY's single use aerosol touch up product is ideally suited for touching up any existing CARC finish and is available in a wide variety of colors.

MILSPRAY's aerosol product affords the soldier the ability to achieve a high quality finish on any existing CARC painted vehicle or gear. Since the material is water based, it is a safe and effective means of performing corrosion repair and marking and stenciling of vehicles and equipment. It is the authorized and approved method for touching up vehicles and equipment having a CARC paint finish.

MILSPRAY CARC touch-up products are used by the U.S. Army worldwide. They preserve and restore the IR signature reduction and chemical and biological agent resistance properties of the original CARC application. IR homing weapon systems use a vehicle or aircraft's IR signature for target identification and destruction. Using non-compliant, non-mil spec, commercially available aerosol touch-up paints creates a hot spot and substantially compromises the signature reduction properties of CARC.

Brush

MILSPRAY's pre-filled bottle of QPL CARC paint starts with a specially treated bottle that ensures storage stability and maximizes shelf life. The innovative brush head, made of the finest material available, uses a series of delivery tubes that transport paint from the bottle through the bristles to the work area requiring touch-up, and leaves little or no brush marks. The bottle stands upright when not in use. The 1" wide brush is ideal for touch-up of irregular surfaces, such as up armor bolt heads, seams and joints, and round surfaces such as mirror brackets, slings, and tie downs. The use of the brush applicator allows the safe application of CARC material without atomization or the use of any aerosol propellants. To use, simply mix the components as directed, then squeeze the bottle. The coating material travels through the delivery tubes to the brush head. Apply a wet coat in even, parallel passes, overlapping each pass 50 percent to avoid bare areas and pinholes.

Roller

MILSPRAY's pre-filled bottle of QPL CARC paint starts with a specially treated bottle that ensures storage stability and maximizes shelf life. The innovative foam material is engineered and manufactured exclusively for MILSPRAY and is compatible with a multitude of mil-spec coatings. The special high-density, closed cell foam allows for the safe application of CARC material without atomization or the use of any aerosol propellants.

The resulting finish quality is virtually indistinguishable from a spray finish. The bottle stands upright when not in use, and there is an integrated plug attached to the roller head that is used to temporarily reseal the bottle. To use, simply squeeze the bottle and the coating material dispenses directly onto the foam roller. Roll out the material onto any substrate. The 2" wide roller makes it perfect for touching up flat areas quickly.

Quart

MILSPRAY quarts offer an inexpensive means of obtaining the same Mil-Spec material found in our touch up products in a manageable quart size. Each quart of base or “A” component has just enough room in it to pour the catalyst, or “B” component. Simply add the contents of the “B” container to the contents of the “A” container and shake or mix thoroughly. Each component has been pre-measured to ensure that mixing ratios are correct and that one (1) quart of mixed material results. For spray applications it may be necessary to thin the material. Please see the thinning instructions for the specific material ordered.

Vacuum Gun

MILSPRAY's revolutionary vacuum touch-up system was designed to apply low voc, high solids military coatings. It combines the principals of fluid dynamics and the Bernoulli Effect and yields transfer efficiencies greater than any other application system of its type. The heart of the system is a die cast one piece handle that has a precision pathway bored through a solid metal housing. This results in reduced friction, less air turbulence, less wall friction, and fewer obstructions. In fact, the vacuum gun contains none of the parts found in a typical spray gun because it is not a spray gun. There are no needles, springs, flow regulators or other parts found in a traditional spray gun system.

Utilizing MILSPRAY's 2 ounce bottles containing PPG Aerospace/Desothane^TM HS military & defense topcoats/CA 8200 series, a vacuum is created within the bottle and the material is actually pulled from the bottle and transferred to the substrate. Since no air is mixed with the paint it does not actually atomize. There is no blow back, no overspray, and no Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPS). Extremely low air pressure is required to create the vacuum - approximately 9-15 psi. It can be connected to any compressor or air line.

The vacuum gun has "system limiters" and fixed factory settings. There are no flow or volume controls and no way to increase the amount of coating that can be dispensed through the vacuum gun. Additionally, the vacuum gun only accepts MILSPRAY touch-up bottles and will not work with any larger capacity cups or bottles. This ensures that the system is used for its intended purpose - touch-up.
