About this file
This exhibit document specifies high-visibility paint scheme requirements for Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) aircraft under the BPM007303 All-Inclusive Single Engine Air Tankers and Services contract. The document provides detailed specifications for paint colors, suppliers, and application guidelines to ensure aircraft visibility and identification during firefighting operations. The paint scheme requirements include three primary colors: white (True White or Matterhorn White from PPG, Sherwin Williams, Rust-oleum, or Air Tractor), orange/red (PPG Aero Union Red, Sherwin Williams Bright Poppy, or equivalent products), and gloss black. Contact information is provided for paint suppliers including Sherwin Williams, PPG, and Omega Mega Max, with specific representatives and phone numbers listed for ordering and technical support.
The specification mandates that aircraft fuselage, wings, and tail surfaces be painted white as the base color, with identification panels on wings measuring 4 to 8 feet from the tip in orange/red on both upper and lower surfaces. Tanker numbers must be displayed in black block lettering on wing surfaces, measuring a minimum of 24 inches. Horizontal and vertical stabilizer surfaces require orange/red identification panels measuring 2 to 4 feet from the tip or top, with tanker numbers painted on both sides of the vertical stabilizer in black gloss at a minimum height of 12 inches. Additional trim stripes are limited to 6 inches in width. Aircraft owner identification by name or logo is approved for fuselage or tail placement only, and references to firefighting operations or agency logos require prior approval from the National Single Engine Airtanker Program Manager. Vinyl numbering is acceptable provided it meets specified standards and remains undegraded.

White and Red Paint Scheme OVERALL: The fuselage, wings, and tail surfaces must be painted white.
Identification panels: Wings
The wing surface, starting from the tip, inward a minimum of 4 ft to a maximum of 8 ft is to be orange/red, both wings, upper and lower surfaces, including leading and trailing edges. The remainder of the wing surface is to be white. **
Tanker numbers: Wings
Minimum of 24” black, block “Tanker Number” on the upper surface of the left wing and lower surface of the right wing, inboard of the red panels on the wing tips. These numbers should be as large as practicable to provide better readability.
Identification panels: Tail surfaces:
The horizontal stabilizer and elevator surfaces starting from the tip inward a minimum of 2 ft to a maximum of 4 ft is to be orange/red, both sides, upper and lower surfaces, including leading and trailing edges. The remainder of the horizontal stabilizer and elevator surfaces is to be white.
The vertical stabilizer and rudder surfaces starting from the top downward a minimum of 2 ft to a maximum of 4 ft are to be orange/red, both sides, including leading and trailing edges. The remainder of the vertical stabilizer and rudder is to be painted white, with the exception of the tanker number.
Tanker Number:
The assigned tanker number must be painted on both sides of the vertical stabilizer/rudder in gloss black. The numbers must be as large as possible, but a minimum of 12 inches high with the format and spacing the same as aircraft “N” numbers. (Ref: 14 CFR Part 45.29.) NOTE: Vinyl numbering is acceptable, provided it meets the standard described here and is not degraded.
**Any additional trim stripes on the wings or tail surfaces must not exceed 6 inches in width. Any fuselage trim is to be the same colors as the trim on the wings. Any design of stripes on the fuselage may be applied to provide individuality;
this will be at the owner’s option.
Note: Since these aircraft are not owned by the Federal firefighting agencies, the use of any agency logo is not approved.
The use of the words “fire” or “fire suppression” may be approved. The National Single Engine Airtanker Program Manager must give approval of these types of references, prior to being placed on the aircraft. Identification of the aircraft owner by either name or logo is approved but must be only on the fuselage or tail, not on the wing surface.
