Summary for mil-f-14072 Discussion
MIL-F-14072 is the focus keyphrase here, but the thread is really a short note about trying to identify a coating code from the military specification MIL-DTL-14072. The questioner says they used a website to look up the spec and wonders whether the “N” in a code means black semi-gloss MIL-PRF-22750 topcoat, based on abbreviations in Table II, but they are unsure whether the convention is simply to append an “N” to the code. No direct technical answer is given in the excerpt, so the page mainly captures the uncertainty around interpreting the abbreviation rather than resolving it. The only named source visible is Ted Mooney, P.E., whose site is referenced, but no substantive guidance from him appears in the excerpt.

I did find that M217 is for Hot Tin Dip. I got that from an ex-NASA employee and a shop in California.
Thanks…

A. Hi Michael; more words please 🙂
You want to obtain the spec (it’s not a spec, it’s just a code within spec MIL-14072), or you want someone to process parts for you to that spec, or you want to buy the paints & processes?
… or you want guidance on what “P510.2N” is supposed to mean?
Table I of MIL-DTL-14072 says that “P510.2” means MIL-DTL-5541 chromate conversion coating of aluminum, followed by MIL-PRF-23377
[⇦ this spec on DLA] primer. The “N” might mean color black semi-gloss MIL-PRF-22750 topcoat per the list of abbreviations in Table II, but I don’t know whether the convention is to just append an “N” to the code that way or not.
Luck & Regards,
