Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Are you certified to apply CARC?

Yes. We quote and provide the certification needed for CARC and other MIL-Spec work, and we have been approved for Special Processes by manufacturers across defense and aerospace.

What quality certifications do you hold?

AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 for the quality management system, plus ITAR registration and RoHS compliance. Gleco Plating dba Gleco Paint and Powder Coating operates as one company under one quality system.

My drawing calls out a spec that is not on your list. Can you still quote it?

Send it. The list on this page is what we run routinely, not the limit of what we can quote. If we cannot hold it, we will tell you rather than guess.

Can you do the pretreatment as well as the topcoat?

Yes. Wash primers, chemical conversion coating (MIL-DTL-5541 TCP) and TT-C-490E cleaning are all in-house. Anodizing per MIL-A-8625 is performed at our Gleco Plating facility, so it stays inside one company and one certification package.

Do you provide certifications with the shipment?

Yes. Certifications, traceability and inspection records come with the job.

Can you apply EMI shielding?

Yes. We apply EMI/RFI shielding coatings for military and commercial electronics.

Is Gleco ITAR registered?

Yes. Gleco is ITAR registered, and defense work is handled accordingly.
