The paint system for the new auxiliary counterweight system components will include an inorganic zinc-rich primer, epoxy polyamide intermediate and an aliphatic acrylic top coat. The owner-approved coating manufacturer is Carboline or an engineer-approved equivalent.
The new skew resolver components will be coated with a high-gloss oil-resistant paint for external use and resistant to weathering and abrasion.

The owner-approved coating manufacturers include Carboline and Sherwin-Williams, or an engineer-approved equivalent.
The threads of all mounting bolts and fitted bolts will be coated with an anti-seize compound before assembly to prevent corrosion or galling and to facilitate in future removal, if necessary. The owner-approved anti-seize compounds are A.W. Chesterton and Henkel Corporation.
