CARC Coatings
CARC is a specialized coating system engineered so chemical agents can be washed off rather than absorbed, while delivering a durable, low-gloss, low-infrared-signature finish. Gleco applies CARC systems to the specification called out on your drawing — such as MIL-DTL-53039 or MIL-DTL-64159 — and quotes and provides the certification your MIL-spec work requires.
MIL-Spec Painting & Certification
Beyond CARC, we handle military-specification topcoats and primer systems as your program requires, with the documentation and certification defense buyers expect. Because our pretreatments — chem film per MIL-DTL-5541, anodize per MIL-PRF-8625, and plating — are all performed in-house, the full coating stack is controlled under one quality system, with no finger-pointing between a plater and a painter.
Why Gleco for Defense Coatings
CARC & MIL-Spec Painting FAQ
Do you apply CARC coatings?
Yes. Gleco applies Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) systems to the specification called out on your drawing, such as MIL-DTL-53039 or MIL-DTL-64159, and quotes and provides the certification your MIL-spec work requires.
What MIL-spec painting can you certify?
We are certified under special processes for military-specification painting, including CARC systems and other MIL-spec topcoats, with documentation and certification supplied for your program.
Can you combine CARC or MIL-spec paint with plating or chem film?
Yes. Because Gleco runs plating, chem film (MIL-DTL-5541), anodize, and painting in-house, your full pretreatment-and-topcoat sequence stays under one AS9100D quality system and one purchase order.
