WD CARC NSNs
There are two types of WD CARC. Type I is
better than the original CARC but contains silica-
based extender pigments that are almost identical
to those used in solvent-based CARC.
The extender pigments in Type II are replaced
by small spherical beads. These beads are the
main reason for the paint’s improved performance
properties and make it the recommended choice.

WD Primer NSNs
The military specification for solvent-based
CARC (MIL-C-46168) will be cancelled at the
end of 2004 and officially replaced by WD
CARC (MIL-DTL-64159).
Water dispersible primer is also available to
prep bare metal before painting. The white primer
listed is lead- and chromate-free. The light green
primer is lead-free, but contains chromate. Follow
the instructions that come with the primer.
More Info
You’ll find more information about WD CARC—including specifications
and POCs—at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory web site:

• Clothes that cover all your skin. Coveralls work well.
• Boots and rubber gloves.
• Face shield or splash goggles to protect
your eyes from paint.
• Respiratory protection. A respirator—
not just a dust mask—is always required
when spray painting with WD CARC.
However, depending on the conditions
and location for spot painting with a
brush, you may or may not need a respi-
rator. Contact your local occupational
safety and health office to perform an
evaluation of your work area.
If a respirator is required, they’ll do a baseline medical evaluation, fit-test you for
the proper respirator and train you in its use.
Mixing
WD CARC comes in two-component kits
that have to be mixed before use. The mixing
ratio is two parts of component A to one part
of component B.
Once the two components are thoroughly
mixed, you can thin the paint by adding up to
one part deionized (or distilled) water to four
parts of the mixed paint. You may want to thin
a little less for brush painting. Again, you must
thoroughly mix the paint to ensure the water
and both components are completely blended.
Be careful not to over thin with water since
that will make the paint unusable.
