# PART 3 -- EXECUTION

## 3.01 EXAMINATION

A. Examine substrates and conditions under which painting will be
performed for compliance with requirements for application of paint. Do
not begin paint application until unsatisfactory conditions have been
corrected. Start of painting will be construed as Applicator\'s
acceptance of surfaces and conditions within a particular area.

## 3.02 PREPARATION

A. General Procedures: Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates,
machined surfaces, lighting fixtures, and similar items in places that
are not to be painted, or provide surface-applied protection prior to
surface preparation and painting. Remove these items if necessary for
complete painting of the items and adjacent surfaces. Clean surfaces
before applying paint or surface treatments. Remove oil and grease prior
to cleaning. Schedule cleaning and painting so that dust and other
contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet,
newly-painted surfaces. Following completion of painting operations in
each space or area, items shall be reinstalled in the same manner that
they were removed.

B. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted in
accordance with the manufacturer\'s instructions for each particular
substrate condition and as specified. Provide barrier coats over
incompatible primers or remove and reprime. Notify SDR in writing when
problems are anticipated in using the specified finish-coat material
with substrates primed by others.

C. Cementitious Materials: Prepare concrete, concrete masonry block, and
stucco to be painted. Remove efflorescence, chalk, dust, dirt, grease,
oils, and release agents. Roughen as required to remove glaze. If
hardeners or sealers have been used to improve curing, use mechanical
methods of surface preparation.

1\. Use abrasive blast-cleaning methods if recommended by the paint
manufacturer.

2\. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing
appropriate tests. Pay special attention to concrete masonry unit mortar
joints and patched concrete surfaces. If surfaces are sufficiently
alkaline to cause blistering and burning of finish paint, correct this
condition before application. Do not paint surfaces where moisture
content of surface to be painted exceeds that permitted in
manufacturer\'s printed directions.

3\. Clean concrete floors to be painted with a 5 percent solution of
muriatic acid or other etching cleaner. Flush the floor with clean water
to remove acid, neutralize with ammonia, and rinse; allow to dry and
vacuum before painting.

D. Wood Materials: Clean surfaces of dirt, oil, and other foreign
substances with scrapers, mineral spirits, and sandpaper. Sand smooth
surfaces exposed to view and dust off.

1\. Scrape and clean small, dry, seasoned knots and apply a thin coat of
white shellac or other recommended knot sealer before application of
primer.

2\. Prime, stain, or seal wood to be painted immediately upon delivery.
Prime edges, ends, faces, undersides, and backsides of wood, including
cabinets, counters, cases, and paneling. After priming, fill holes and
imperfections in finish surfaces with putty or plastic wood filler. Sand
smooth when dried.

3\. When transparent finish is required, back prime with spar varnish.

4\. Back prime paneling on interior partitions where masonry, plaster,
or other wet wall construction occurs on backside.

5\. Seal tops, bottoms, and cutouts of unprimed wood doors with a heavy
coat of varnish or sealer immediately upon delivery to jobsite.

E. Ferrous Metals: Clean non-galvanized ferrous-metal surfaces that have
not been shop-coated; remove oil, grease, dirt, loose mill scale, and
other foreign substances. Use solvent or mechanical cleaning methods
that comply with recommendations of the Steel Structures Painting
Council.

1\. Treat bare and sand-blasted or pickled clean metal with a metal
treatment wash coat before priming.

2\. Touch up bare areas and shop-applied prime coats that have been
damaged. Wire-brush, clean with solvents recommended by the paint
manufacturer, and touch up with the same primer as the shop coat.

F. Galvanized Surfaces: Clean galvanized surfaces with
non-petroleum-based solvents so that the surface is free of oil and
surface contaminants. Remove pretreatment from galvanized sheet metal
fabricated from coil stock by mechanical methods.

G. Gypsum Board: Surfaces shall be dry and shall have all loose dirt and
dust removed by brushing with a soft brush, rubbing with a dry cloth, or
vacuum-cleaning prior to application of first-coat material. Repair
blemishes, irregularities and damaged surfaces.

H. Material Preparation: Carefully mix and prepare paint materials in
accordance with the manufacturer\'s directions.

1\. Maintain containers used in mixing and application of paint in a
clean condition, free of foreign materials and residue.

2\. Stir material before application to produce a mixture of uniform
density; stir as required during application. Do not stir surface film
into material. Remove film and, if necessary, strain material before
using.

3\. Use only thinners approved by the paint manufacturer, and only
within recommended limits. Use odorless thinner with alkyd enamel.

# 3.03 APPLICATION

A. General

1\. Apply paint in accordance with manufacturer\'s directions. Use
applicators and techniques best suited for substrate and type of
material being applied. Spray applications will require prior approval
from the SDR.

2\. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed
surfaces, or conditions detrimental to formation of a durable paint
film.

3\. Surface treatments and finishes shall be as indicated in articles
3.06, 3.07 and 3.08 or as selected by SDR.

4\. Provide finish coats that are compatible with primers used.

5\. The number of coats and film thickness required is the same
regardless of the application method. Do not apply succeeding coats
until the previous coat has cured as recommended by the manufacturer.
Sand between applications where sanding is required to produce an even,
smooth surface in accordance with the manufacturer\'s directions.

6\. Apply additional coats when undercoats, stains, or other conditions
show through final coat of paint until paint film is of uniform finish,
color, and appearance. Give special attention to ensure that surfaces,
including edges, corners, crevices, welds and exposed fasteners receive
a dry film thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces.

7\. The term \"exposed surfaces\" includes areas visible when permanent
or built-in fixtures, convector covers, covers for finned tube
radiation, grilles, and similar components are in place. Extend coatings
in these areas as required to maintain the system integrity and provide
desired protection.

8\. Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture same as
similar exposed surfaces. Paint surfaces behind permanently fixed
equipment or furniture with prime coat only before final installation of
equipment.

9\. Paint interior surfaces of ducts, where visible through registers or
grilles, with a flat, non-specular black paint.

10\. Paint back sides of access panels and removable or hinged covers to
match exposed surfaces.

11\. Finish exterior doors on tops, bottoms, and side edges same as
exterior faces.

12\. Sand lightly between each succeeding enamel or varnish coat.

13\. Omit primer on metal surfaces that have been shop-primed and touch
up painted.

B. Scheduling Painting: Apply first coat to surfaces that have been
cleaned, pretreated, or otherwise prepared for painting as soon as
practicable after preparation and before subsequent surface
deterioration. Allow time between successive coats to permit proper
drying per manufacturer\'s recommendations.

C. Minimum Coating Thickness: Apply materials at not less than the
manufacturer\'s recommended spreading rate. Provide a total dry film
thickness of the entire system as recommended by the manufacturer or as
specified, whichever is greater.

D. Mixing and Thinning: Unless otherwise recommended by the
manufacturer, paints may be thinned immediately prior to application
with an approved manufacturer\'s thinner and used only within
recommended limits when necessary to suit conditions of surface
temperature, weather and application methods. The use of thinner shall
not relieve the Contractor from obtaining complete hiding, full film
thickness, or required gloss. Paints of different manufacturers shall
not be mixed.

E. Mechanical Work: Color-coding of mechanical piping systems is limited
to those items exposed in mechanical equipment rooms and as noted on
drawings. Paint shall be applied directly to the insulation and pipe on
systems which are not insulated. Label pipe systems appropriately after
painting. Painting of other mechanical items is limited to those exposed
in mechanical equipment rooms and occupied spaces except as otherwise
indicated. Use paint and color specified or other manufacturer\'s
equivalent.

F. Block Fillers: Apply block fillers to concrete masonry block at a
rate to ensure complete coverage with pores filled. Apply at a dry film
thickness of not less than that recommended by the manufacturer.

G. Prime Coats: Before application of finish coats, apply a prime coat
of material as recommended by the manufacturer to material that is
required to be painted or finished and has not been prime coated by
others. Recoat primed and sealed surfaces where evidence of suction
spots or unsealed areas in first coat appears, to assure a finish coat
with no burn-through or other defects due to insufficient sealing.

H. Pigmented (Opaque) Finishes: Completely cover to provide an opaque,
smooth surface of uniform finish, color, appearance, and coverage.
Cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps, brush marks, runs, sags, ropiness,
