Gary.... here's the spec on the check !
The Military pubs say......
"Most equipment painted in the new 3-color camouflage pattern wears CARC.
Equipment painted with CARC should have <CARC> stencilled near the data plate.
If you don't see it stencilled, wet a cloth with acetone (fingernail polish
remover) and rub hard on the painted surface for 10 seconds. Wet a clean
corner of the cloth with acetone and rub another 10 seconds in the same spot.
If NO paint comes off the second time, it's CARC. (The first wipe may remove
overspray and make you think it's not CARC)".
So now's the opportunity to raid your wife's makeup box.... all for a good
cause !
Here are some useful references re: CARC.....
AR (Army Regs) 750-1 (para 3-41)
TM43-0139..Painting Instructions for Army Materiel
TB MED 502...Respiratory Protection Program
Training Video TVT3-40.... CARC - The REAL Story
Kind regards....
