One of the interesting things happening on the surplus scene is with Boeing being impacted by the pandemic and also not being able to build the MAX, they have lots of really neat (read expensive) coatings that are passing their best-by dates and passing into the surplus market. While buying some fancy DTM epoxy primer I happened across this stuff, which seems pretty ideal for a machine-tool paint... and it comes in gray. :-)
I'd love to hear if anybody has experience with this product or ideas of why it would or would not work.
I work for Lick Observatory and we've been getting government surplus since WWII, a lot of really tough battleship-gray paint all over everything, so it's sort of a tradition. :-)
From the PPG website:
Desothane® HS CA8100 series military and defense anti-chafe topcoats are Teflon-filled polyurethanes. These topcoats are primarily used on surfaces where abrasion resistance, low friction and impact resistance is required to reduce chafing and wear.
• Excellent gloss and color retention.
• Compatible with Desoprime® HS primers
• Excellent fluid resistance
• compatible with all current spray equipment
• Can be applied in a wide range of conditions
• Service temperature -54°C to 177°C (-65°F to 350°F)
Here's a link to the P-sheet, or what would be a P-sheet if it were an automotive paint product:
