PPG Deft 03-GY-205 Flat Gray MIL-PRF-85285E Topcoat – 2 Gallon Kit for Military Aircraft
PPG Aerospace Deft 03-GY-205 is a flat gray (FS#36270) MIL-PRF-85285E Type I, Class H aerospace polyurethane topcoat — providing the FS#36270 gray shade for military aircraft and defense equipment where this specific color is required by the applicable technical order. FS#36270 is a specific flat gray in the Federal Standard 595 system used on certain military aircraft types, rotorcraft, and defense platforms as part of their standard paint scheme.
The 2 gallon kit provides production-volume material for military depot and scheduled maintenance paint events. Combined with other Deft MIL-PRF-85285E gray shades stocked in the military paint shop, 03-GY-205 completes the color palette needed to service aircraft types requiring the FS#36270 specification within the military maintenance program.
As with all PPG Deft MIL-PRF-85285E topcoats, 03-GY-205 delivers the proven performance of Deft’s aliphatic polyurethane platform — qualified through rigorous MIL-PRF-85285E testing and approved for use on U.S. military aircraft under the applicable military specification and approval documentation maintained by PPG Aerospace.

Technical Information
Deft 03-GY-205 uses the same MIL-PRF-85285E aliphatic polyurethane chemistry as all other Deft military topcoats in the 03-GY-xxx range. The FS#36270 gray pigment formulation provides the specific gray shade required by applicable technical orders, with batch-to-batch color consistency controlled by PPG’s manufacturing quality system. Application and performance properties — mixing ratio, induction time, pot life, film thickness requirements, and cure schedule — are consistent with the Deft MIL-PRF-85285E product family.
FS#36270 falls in the flat gray color family alongside other common military grays (FS#36622, FS#36293, FS#36251, FS#36440) — each represents a slightly different shade. While the differences between adjacent FS gray numbers can be subtle to the naked eye, the specification requires the correct FS code to be used per the technical order. Color comparison against the Federal Standard 595 chip set during color formulation and production quality control ensures each Deft 03-GY-205 lot matches the FS#36270 standard.
The 2 gallon batch should be thoroughly mixed — both the base (with pigment) and hardener components — before combining and applying. Allow the specified induction time after mixing the two components before beginning spray application to ensure the crosslinking reaction is properly initiated for optimal film formation and performance.
