An evaluation of FP500 and FP1500 paint replacement film (applique) small-scale coupons with 52-4 adhesive installed on the S-3B aircraft was conducted during 225 hr of laboratory tests and 2 flights totaling 2.0 flight- hours to determine system suitability for large-scale coupon evaluation. Complete adhesion of the film to the surface of the aircraft during basic maneuvers is an enhancing characteristic that will promote reliable performance of FP500 and FP1500 applique material reducing corrosion and maintenance down time aircraft. Tattering of prepeeled (failed) sections of the applique was an enhancing characteristic that will prevent any in-flight failures from becoming catastrophic failures. The capability of the adhesive to adhere to the film and not the aircraft surface during applique removal is an enhancing characteristic that will facilitate the rapid removal of the applique. There are no deficiencies.
