CARC Paint…
The solvents in CARC can damage
the rubber’s flexibility and maybe
even cause premature cracking. If that
happens, your vehicle’s unsafe until
the hoses are replaced.
Have you seen a CARC-painted
rubber hose that has developed
cracks? If so, submit a QDR and send
the failed part to TACOM-TARDEC
for analysis. Here’s the address:

CARC paint and rubber do
not
mix.
CARC is designed for use on hard metal
surfaces, not flexible rubber surfaces like
brake lines and hydraulic hoses.
S
o, your vehicle’s being sent off for a
fresh coat of CARC paint. Before it
goes, take a close look at the exterior
rubber lines and hoses. Have they been
covered with tape and paper yet?

Carc
paint may
make them
crack!
Sure, that’s
supposed to
be done by
your support
before
they
do the
painting.
But since it’s
your
vehicle and
you
have to drive
it, protecting
those lines and
hoses yourself
just makes plain
good sense.
