    U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Jared Martrano, 22nd Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance specialist, simulates painting a KC-46A Pegasus wheel while wearing personal protective equipment at McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, Aug. 24, 2026. Aircraft coatings and primers can contain hazardous substances such as hexavalent chromium, making respiratory protection, gloves, eye protection and protective clothing essential for limiting exposure during painting operations. Environmental Protection Agency regulations and other exposure-control measures help reduce the release of toxic substances into the atmosphere and protect personnel working with hazardous aircraft coatings.

    A worker in full protective gear is spray painting a large circular component, likely a vehicle wheel or rim, mounted on a rotating stand inside an industrial paint booth. The worker is wearing a white Tyvek suit, respirator mask, goggles, and blue nitrile gloves while operating a spray gun. The environment is a dedicated paint booth with yellow-coated walls and ventilation infrastructure.
    A technician in a white protective suit and blue nitrile gloves is using a pneumatic or power tool (blue-colored) on a large aircraft or aerospace wheel/hub assembly. The wheel rim is gray with a yellow center hub, featuring multiple bolt holes around its circumference. The work appears to be taking place in an industrial maintenance or manufacturing facility.
    A worker in protective gear (white Tyvek suit and blue nitrile gloves) is operating a spray gun or dispensing tool over a large metal wheel or rim. The wheel appears to be mounted on a rotating fixture, and yellow material (likely paint, primer, or sealant) is being applied to the center hub area. This appears to be an industrial wheel refinishing or coating operation.
