After the Post MaintenanceCheck Flight (PMCF), the aircraft will be complete defueled, thououghly washed and then stripped of all old paint. The serface treated with a clear corrosion inhibitor, then 2 coates of a brown metal protectant, then a zinc Cromate primer and then the Low-Vis gray surface paint. (BTW all of the aircraft on board The Midway Museum get thie same paint treatment that active Navy and Marine Corps aircraft get).

A PMI Level One overhaul is supposed to take between 8,000 to 8500 manhours and/or between 125-140 days to complete depending on the level of repair after the aaircraft is to recieve after it is disassembled I can remember a couple of instances wher those numbers were completely blown apart. A lot of that depwnds on the corrosion work done my the operating activities(the Squadrons) and how much effort they put into Corrosion Control.
