TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT, Pa. -- Painter James Bell uses a pressure pot paint system with an air spray gun to optimize paint transfer and efficiency here.

Bell works in the depot's Systems Integration and Support Directorate. Directorate personnel perform final painting on all systems with environmentally compliant coatings to include epoxies, alkyd enamels, urethanes, and CARC (chemical agent resistant coatings).

Workers apply single color and tri-color camouflage topcoat finishes in addition to undercoating and complete stencil application on interior and exterior surfaces. Painters are also dispatched to other work areas throughout the depot to touch up assets prior to shipment and offer mobile depot maintenance support for customers at locations worldwide.
