BOEING FINISH CODES Q&As
Q. I am a Quality Manager for an FAA certified Repair Station and manufacturing facility.
In our manufacturing area we have a print with a note to FINISH PER STF0180 and FINISH PER STF0352. These are McDonnell Douglas specifications that can be cross referenced to AMS or MIL STD but only Boeing has the originals with the cross-reference data.
Can anyone out there supply the cross reference data?

Q. My company is manufacturing aircraft spares in accordance with drawings developed in the 60's and 70's. I see Boeing finish code PS362 in many places. Where can I find a copy of the spec?
Thank you very much!

Q. We have the same problem as this fellow. Could not find the response in the finishing.com letters. Is there an answer to this for the viewing public?

A. The Boeing Corporation as well as Lockheed have "citis" portal access to all specs and documents dealing with their products (besides ANSI and NAS specs). Call your Buyer at the respective aerospace division to gain access to the 'product standard' portion of their customer site.

A. I have worked on a few Gov. jobs that calls for PS 362 , In ALL of them, the separate tech. data package stated to REPLACE PS-632 WITH ANODIZE PER MIL-A-8625 / MIL-PRF-8625
[on DLA] TY I OR II
See if you have a data package, the answer is probably there.

Boeing Vertol VF-3.0?
Q. I think this will be a tough one. I have a Boeing Vertol drawing that has a finish code
VF-3.0 + VF-1.1 and the part requiring the finish is a 2024-t3 aluminum bushing/sleeve.
Any help would be much appreciated and documentation to back it up would be even better.

Q. Good day everyone.
I am working on a nylon part that for the KC135.
The finish call out reads,F-19.52 + F-14-685
Can anyone tell me what this is, it is not listed in the D2-5000 spec.

A. Be careful with finish specs!!
D2-5000 is space, D6-5000 is commercial, and D8-5000 is military. If those specs are called out, your customer is required by Boeing to give you a copy.
