External Finish Notes
Paint per FED-STD-595 [Colors used in Government Procurement]
Textured paint, light gray per Sherwin Williams; all exterior surfaces; aluminum is brushed gold chromate per MIL-STD 5541, steel is light gray paint over primer
The gold chromate conversion (aka "alodine") finish, as specified on sheet metal enclosures ,does not comply with RoHS due to the presence of hexavalent chromium (Note: the hexavalent chromium imparts the 'gold pigment' to this finish).
