BOEING FINISH CODES Q&As



Q. My company is manufacturing aircraft spares in accordance with drawings developed in the 60's and 70's. I see Boeing finish code PS362 in many places. Where can I find a copy of the spec?

Thank you very much!

Q. We have the same problem as this fellow. Could not find the response in the finishing.com letters. Is there an answer to this for the viewing public?

Ed. note: Hello, Albert. It's a public forum not a private consulting service; if anyone answers, the response will appear on this page just like your followup. Sorry it hasn't drawn an answer yet.


A. The Boeing Corporation as well as Lockheed have "citis" portal access to all specs and documents dealing with their products (besides ANSI and NAS specs). Call your Buyer at the respective aerospace division to gain access to the 'product standard' portion of their customer site.

A. I have worked on a few Gov. jobs that calls for PS 362 , In ALL of them, the separate tech. data package stated to REPLACE PS-632 WITH ANODIZE PER MIL-A-8625 / MIL-PRF-8625 [affil link or DLA] TY I OR II
See if you have a data package, the answer is probably there.

Happy to help, Mike

Q. I have been looking for a Boeing finish code F-1.191 with very little success. I know it is some sort of plating. Can anyone help? Thanks so much.

Rest in peace, Ken. Thank you for your hard work which the finishing world, and we at finishing.com, continue to benefit from.



A. Doing a web search I found this ...

"5.FINISH CODE F-1.191 DEFINED: CADMIUM PLATE
PER AMSQQP416 [affil link], TYPE I, CLASS 2. BAKE 3 HOURS
MINIMUM AT 375 ± 25 °F"

Although I can't verify this is correct, it may be helpful?

A. Can you confirm it is F-1001 and not P-1001? I do have a cross-reference for P-1001 but not F-1001.

Boeing Vertol VF-3.0

Q. I think this will be a tough one. I have a Boeing Vertol drawing that has a finish code
VF-3.0 + VF-1.1 and the part requiring the finish is a 2024-t3 aluminum bushing/sleeve.
Any help would be much appreciated and documentation to back it up would be even better.

Q. Good day everyone.
I am working on a nylon part that for the KC135.
The finish call out reads,F-19.52 + F-14-685
Can anyone tell me what this is, it is not listed in the D2-5000 spec.

John Fiedler

A. Be careful with finish specs!!
D2-5000 is space, D6-5000 is commercial, and D8-5000 is military. If those specs are called out, your customer is required by Boeing to give you a copy.

J Bogart

Q. Working on a part for Boeing and getting a little lost in Specs. The codes called out are CHEMICAL TREAT PER VF-3.0, PRIME PER VF-1.70, AND FINISH PER VF-1.80 (REF: BLACK COLOR NO.37038) EXCEPT AS NOTED PER FL1.

Any information is appreciated or any pointing in the right direction.
