Abstract
Various methods of application were used to evaluate high performance coatings. A low energy radioactive isotope is deposited on the dried film using contrast autoradiography. Greatly magnified images of the paint surface are examined. Penetration of the isotope permits observations underneath the surface. Comparisons are made with one coating applied by different methods.
