The original material used on C-130E aircraft nose radomes was an elastomeric two-part (base coat and catalyzing agent) chemically cured rubberized spray or brush-on rain erosion coating system . This type of coating system provided superior surface erosion protection from organic and precipitate impingement for the nose and "top hat" radomes on the E-models I worked on back in the mid 70's at Pope AFB, NC; where I was an Aircraft Structural Repair Technician. We had 55 C-130E models assigned at the time.
