REV: 04-29-25 LF <br />CAB PAINT EXTERIOR <br />The cab exterior shall be painted two tone per City’s specified paint colors following the RFG-SR- <br />001 paint standards. <br />CAB PAINT PROCESS/MANUFACTURER <br /> <br />The cab shall be painted with PPG Industries paint prior to the installation of glass accessories <br />and all other cab trim to ensure complete paint coverage and the maximum in corrosion protection <br />of all metal surfaces. <br />All metal surfaces on the cab shall be mechanically etched by sanding disc to remove any surface <br />oxidation or surface debris which may hinder the paint adhesion. Once all imperfections on the <br />exterior surfaces are removed and sanded smooth, body fillers shall be applied to the cab on all <br />surfaces that require a critically aesthetic finish and sanded smooth. <br />The entire cab shall then be coated with a high-quality base primer that is designed to fill any <br />minor surface defects, provide an adhesive bond between the primer and the paint and improve <br />the color and gloss retention of the color. The finish to this procedure shall be sanding the cab to <br />a smooth finish followed by sealing the seams with an automotive seam sealer. The minimum <br />thickness of the primer coat after sanding shall be 2.50 mils with a maximum thickness of 5.00 <br />mils. <br />The cab shall then be painted the specific color(s) designated by the City with an acrylic urethane <br />type system designed to retain color and resist acid rain and most atmospheric chemicals found <br />on an emergency scene. The paint shall have a minimum thickness of 1.00 mils with a maximum <br />of 4 mills, followed by a clear top coat with a minimum of 2.5 mils and a maximum of 3.5 mils. The <br />entire cab shall then be baked to speed the curing process of the coatings. <br />CAB PAINT PRIMARY/LOWER COLOR <br />The lower paint color shall be Dupont 817520EX Red <br />CAB PAINT SECONDARY/UPPER COLOR <br />The secondary/upper paint color shall be PPG FBCH 903653 white. <br />CAB PAINT EXTERIOR BREAKLINE <br />The upper and lower paint shall meet at a breakline on the cab which shall be located <br />approximately 1.00 inch below the door windows on each side of the cab. The breakline shall <br />curve down at the front cab corners to approximately 5.00 inches below the windshields on the <br />front of the cab. <br />CAB PAINT PINSTRIPE <br />Where the upper and lower paint colors meet a temporary 0.50 inch wide black pinstripe shall be <br />applied over this break line to offer a more finished look prior to the final pinstripe being installed <br />by the OEM. <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.089/Fire Apparatus Solutions (Purchase of Spartan-LTC 105' TDA) (Page 25 of 150)
