# PART 3 - EXECUTION

## 3.01 [EXAMINATION]{.underline}

[Examine substrates and conditions]{.underline} 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]{.underline}

A. [General Procedures]{.underline}: 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]{.underline}: 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]{.underline}: 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.

E. [Ferrous Metals]{.underline}: Clean nongalvanized 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]{.underline}: 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]{.underline}: 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]{.underline}: 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 oil base enamel.

## 3.03 [APPLICATION]{.underline}

A. [General]{.underline}

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, nonspecular 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]{.underline}: 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]{.underline}: 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]{.underline}: 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]{.underline}: Color-coding of mechanical piping
systems is limited to those items exposed in mechanical equipment rooms.
Paint shall be applied directly to the insulation and/or 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.
