A. Installer Qualifications: Experienced with painting and surface
preparation as necessary and appropriate to the complexity of the work
involved.

B. Labeling Requirments: Provide best quality grade of each type of
coating as regularly manufactured by acceptable paint materials\'
manufacturers. Materials not displaying manufacturer\'s identification
as a standard, best‑grade product will be rejected.

C. Product Uniformity: Provide primers and other undercoat paint
produced by the same manufacturer as finish coats. Use only thinners
approved by paint manufacturer, and use only within directed limits.

D. Failure Criteria: Not limited to the following:

1\. Blistering, flaking, peeling of paint from substrate.

2\. Rust surfacing through paint film.

3\. Excessive fading or chalking of surface.

1.5 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING:

A. Delivery: Paint materials shall be delivered to the job in unopened
containers bearing the manufacturer\'s label and color number. Such
material shall be used without adulteration and only with such thinning
as called for in the manufacturer\'s directions. Ascertain that paints
received in the field are acceptable under the requirements of the
specification; that they are properly mixed and thinned (where allowed);
that colors are within the required limits.

B. Storage: Paints and thinners shall be stored at a minimum ambient
temperature of 45 degree F in areas or structures that are well
ventilated and not subject to excessive heat, open flames, electrical
discharge, or direct rays of the sun. Receiving, opening, and mixing of
painting materials shall be done in this area. Materials that are
susceptible to damage at low temperatures shall be stored in heated
areas. Paint containers shall remain unopened until needed and the
oldest shall be used first. Paints that have livered, gelled or
otherwise deteriorated during storage shall not be used.

1.6 PROJECT AND SITE CONDITIONS:

A. Environmental Conditions: Unless stated otherwise, the minimum
acceptable ambient temperatures shall be 45 degrees F (4.4 degrees C)
for paint application. For latex paints, minimum temperature for
interior work is 45 degrees F (7 degrees C) and 50 degrees F (10 degrees
C) for exterior work. Minimum temperature for varnish finishes is 65
degree F (18 degrees C). Do not paint over ice or frost. When ambient
temperature rises above 90 degrees F, paint only portions of the
building which are, and will remain, in shade for one hour.

B. Exterior Painting: Painting shall not be undertaken in rain, snow,
fog or mist, or when the temperature of the surface is below the
dewpoint. Wet surfaces shall not be painted unless the coatings are
designed for that condition. Discontinue or do not start painting when
the relative humidity is over 85 percent.

1\. When paint must be applied in damp or cold weather, the surface
shall be painted under cover, or protected from the surrounding air, and
the surface shall be heated to a temperature meeting the requirements
above. The surface should remain under cover until dry or until weather
conditions permit its exposure in the open.

C. Interior Painting: Provide adequate, continuous ventilation and
sufficient heating facilities to maintain temperatures above 45 degrees
F (7 degrees C) for 24 hours before, during and 48 hours after
application of finishes. Provide minimum of 25 fc of lighting on
surfaces to be finished.

1.7 SEQUENCING AND SCHEDULING:

A. General: Allow sufficient time between successive coatings to permit
proper drying. Do not recoat until paint has dried to where it feels
firm, does not deform or feel sticky under moderate thumb pressure, and
application of anchor coat of paint does not cause lifting or loss of
adhesion of the undercoat.

[PART 2: PRODUCTS]{.underline}

2.1 MATERIALS:

A. Installation Materials: Brushes, spray equipment, and rollers
designated for the intended application by the National Paint and
Coatings Association.

B. Paint: This category includes latex emulsions, enamels, paints,
varnishes, and sealers. These materials shall be of highest quality and
supplied as designated for the various surfaces enumerated.

2.2 ACCESSORIES:

A. Sprayers: Kinds of spraying are compressed air spray, airless spray,
hot spray and hot airless spray.

1\. The equipment shall be suitable for the intended purpose, capable of
properly atomizing the paint to be applied, and be equipped with
suitable pressure regulators and gauges. The equipment shall be kept in
a suitably clean condition to permit proper paint application without
depositing dirt, dried paint, and other foreign materials in the film.
Solvents left in the equipment shall be completely removed before
applying paint to the surface being painted.

2\. Airless spray equipment shall be properly grounded.

B. Brushes: When flat brushes are used, they shall not exceed 4 inches
in width. The bristle length shall be no less than 3-1/2 inches.

2.3 MIXES:

A. Factory Tinting: Standard colors shall be factory tinted and shall
not be tinted at the jobsite.

B. Mixing of Paints: Paints shall be thoroughly and completely mixed
before use and agitated often enough during application to ensure
homogeneity. Paints shall be mixed in original containers. Pigmented
paints shall be strained after mixing to ensure homogeneity and to
remove skins and foreign matter. The strainers shall be of a type to
remove only skins, and foreign matter, but not to remove pigment. Paint
shall not remain in painters\' buckets, and spray pots overnight, but be
gathered into a container and remixed before use. Containers shall be
covered when not in use, to reduce volatile losses and skinning.

[PART 3: EXECUTION]{.underline}

3.1 EXAMINATION:

A. Verification of Conditions: Examine surfaces to be painted and verify
that the work of other trades is in satisfactory condition to receive
specified finish. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture,
scuffed surfaces, or conditions otherwise detrimental to formation of a
durable paint film.

1\. Notification: Notify Contracting Officer in writing of conditions
detrimental to the proper and timely completion of work. Do not proceed
with work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in a
manner acceptable to applicator.

B. Starting of Painting: Construed as applicator\'s acceptance of
surfaces and conditions within a particular area.

3.2 PREPARATION:

A. Protection: Contractor shall ensure that proper precautions have been
taken to prevent damage to adjacent areas from cleaning and painting
operations.

1\. Protective covers or drop cloths shall protect floors, fixtures, and
equipment. Care shall be taken to prevent splattering of paint on
surfaces which are not to be painted. Splattered paint shall be
corrected to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer.

2\. Protect adjacent work and material by suitable covering or other
method during the progress of the work.

3\. Protect exterior materials from staining and water damage prior to
painting or staining. Protect exterior painted work from damage.

4\. Care shall be taken to avoid lapping of paint on glass or hardware.
Paint shall be sharply cut to lines.

5\. Mask over labels and descriptive plaques on equipment prior to
painting.

B. Surface Preparation: In accord with ASTM D 2200. Before application
of paint, surfaces to be coated shall be thoroughly cleaned and properly
prepared to the requirements of the specification. Dust, dirt, oil,
grease, moisture, mortar, smoke, soot, tars, bitumens, or other
contaminants shall be removed from unpainted surfaces.

1\. Previously painted surfaces shall be similarly cleaned of such
foreign matter and, in addition, paint that has deteriorated to a chalky
or powdered state or is checked, cracked, scaled, blistered, peeled,
alligatored, wrinkled, sagged, loose, stained, or otherwise unacceptable
shall be removed.

2\. On metal surfaces, rust and scale that is not part of the parent
metal, and shavings and cuttings shall also be removed from the parts of
the structure.

3\. Cement drippings from construction or subsequent repairs or other
foreign materials shall not be painted over but shall be completely
removed by suitable mechanical or chemical means.

4\. Tree limbs or other growth overhanging or fouling the structure
shall be cut away and removed.

5\. The cleanliness of surfaces shall be approved before the application
of a coat of paint.

6\. Fill holes where nails have been set.

7\. Necessary puttying of nail holes and cracks shall be done after the
first coat with putty of a color to match that of the finish.

C. Power Wire‑Brushing: Avoid excessive power wire-brushing of metal
surfaces which may eliminate the paint anchor pattern. Some small amount
of roughness is necessary to bond paint to the surface.

D. Solvent Cleaning: Remove oil, grease, and soot from metal surfaces by
the use of mineral spirits or turpentine. Apply solvent by wiping or
scrubbing with rags or brushes. Contaminants shall be removed by a
thorough wiping of the affected areas with cloths saturated with clear
solvents. Wipe a second time with clean cloths on which solvents have
been poured. Emulsion cleaners, soaps, and detergents may be allowed.
After cleaning they shall be removed completely by washing with clean,
hot water. SSPC‑SPl provides a method of cleaning also.

E. Galvanizing: These surfaces shall be solvent cleaned and allowed to
weather as long as possible, but not less than 48 hours, after which
they shall be treated and prepared by one of the applicable methods in
ASTM D 2092 (Method A or D).

1\. Crystalline-zinc phosphate treatment may be carried out by
immersion, spray, or brush application.

2\. Acid‑bound resinous treatment may be applied by brush, spray, dip,
or roller coater.

F. Concrete Unit and Brick Masonry: Remove efflorescence by acid washing
and rinsing with brushing as required. Remove dust, dirt, asphalt, tar,
or excessive mortar by scraping or wire brushing. Remove rust, grease,
and oil by solvent cleaning.

G. New Wood:

1\. Remove dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with mineral spirits,
scrapers, or sandpaper. Finished surfaces, exposed to view, shall be
made smooth by sanding and dusting off.

2\. Immediately after trimming, hanging, and fitting, edges of doors
shall be painted, with two coats of the specified material.

3\. Small, dry, seasoned knots shall be surface scraped and thoroughly
cleaned, and shall be given a coat of knot sealer before application of
primer coat. Pitch on large, open, unseasoned knots and other beads or
streaks of pitch shall be scraped off, or if still soft, shall be
removed with mineral spirits or turpentine and the area coated with knot
sealer. After sealing interior surfaces to be natural finished, holes
and imperfections in finish surfaces shall be filled with putty or
plastic wood filler colored to match the finish coat, allowed to dry,
and sanded smooth.

H. Existing Wood:

1\. If existing finish is sound, free of defects, and shows normal
chalking, lightly sand the existing finish to allow a samll amount of
roughness for the new coat to bond to.

2\. If 30 percent of the existing finish on a member is checked,
cracked, alligatored, blistered, or is in otherwise unsound condition,
or in a condition which would be harmful to the specified painting,
remove existing finish to bare wood.

I. Ferrous:

1\. Surfaces shall be free of oil and grease before painting.

2\. Surfaces that contain rust, mill scale, and other foreign substances
shall be mechanically cleaned by wire brushing. Apply one coat of primer
to surface on the same day.

3\. Wire brush and touch up abraded or corroded spots of shop‑coated
surfaces with material similar in color to the shop coat.

J. Gypsum Board:

1\. Surfaces shall be dry and clean prior to application of the
specified first coat material.

2\. After the first coat has dried, and before the prior to finish coat
application, apply touch‑up coats to suction spots, as necessary.

3.3 APPLICATION:

A. General: Paint coatings shall be applied undiluted, except as noted;
each coat shall have the mil thickness specified by the manufacturer for
the intended application.

1\. Tops and bottoms of wood doors shall be finished identical to door
faces. Painting is required in areas routed or drilled for hardware. UL
labels on doors and frames shall not be painted. Finish exterior doors
on tops, bottoms and side edges same as exterior faces, unless otherwise
indicated.

2\. Hardwood to be finished shall be sanded smooth and surface cleaned
before first coat and between coats with fine sand paper and shall be
wiped with a tack rag after each sanding.

3\. Access panels shall be painted in the open position and edges
painted.

B. Priming: Apply first‑coat material to surfaces that have been
cleaned, pretreated, or otherwise prepared for painting as soon as
practicable after preparation and before subsequent surface
deterioration.

1\. Undercoats of paint and enamel shall be tinted to the approximate
shade of the final coat. Successive coats shall be tinted slightly
darker to assure coverage. See Section 09999 ‑ Color Schedule for
required colors before priming walls.

2\. Joint Sealants and Caulking: Do not paint sealants and caulking.

3\. New Construction: The first coat shall be applied to the cleaned
surfaces before soiling or deterioration can occur. The cleaned areas of
exterior surfaces shall receive the first protective coat well before
nightfall brings lower temperatures and possible moisture condensation
on the surfaces.

4\. Shop‑coated steel that has been shipped to and stored on the
erection site and which has miscellaneous scratches and breaks in the
shop coat, including those occasioned by field welds, bolts, or rivets,
shall be cleaned and touched up as specified before the steel receives
the first overall field coat.

5\. Every coat of the paint system shall be applied over dry, soil‑free
surfaces and previous coats shall be free from mechanical damage.

C. Interface With Existing Painted Surfaces: Do not damage sound paint
areas by cleaning operations on adjacent areas.

1\. The effect of newly applied paint on the old, underlying coating
should be noted. Paint that shows curling, lifting, or excessive
wrinkling shall be removed and the area repainted.

2\. The junctions between sound paint and spot‑cleaned areas shall
present a smooth, feathered appearance. Before the overall finish coat
of paint is applied, ensure that oil, grime, dust and other contaminants
are cleaned from the old paint surfaces. The application of paint to
spot‑cleaned areas shall overlap the old adjacent paint to a slight
extent in order to assure full coverage of the cleaned areas.

D. Pigmented Finish Procedure: Where multiple coats of pigmented finish
are used, each preceding coat shall differ slightly from the
next-succeeding coat but shall be of the same hue.

1\. Roll and distribute enamel finish paint to an even and fine texture.
Leave no evidence of rolling such as laps, irregularity in texture, skid
marks, or other surface imperfections.

2\. Completely cover with pigmented paint to provide an opaque, smooth
surface of uniform finish, color, appearance, and coverage. Cloudiness,
spotting, holidays, laps, brush marks, runs, sags, ropiness, or other
surface imperfections will not be acceptable.

3\. Apply prime coat of material which is required to be painted or
finished, and which has not been prime coated by others. Recoat primed
and sealed surfaces where there is evidence of suction spots or unsealed
areas in first coat, to assure a finish coat with no burn‑through or
other defects due to insufficient sealing.

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

5\. Exposed nails and other ferrous metal to be painted with latex
water‑based paints shall be spot‑primed with rust-inhibiting primer.

E. Clear Finish Procedure: Use multiple coats of transparent finish to
produce a glass‑smooth surface film of even luster. Provide a finish
free of laps, cloudiness, color irregularity, runs, brush marks, orange
peel, nail holes, or other surface imperfections. Provide satin finish
for final coats, unless otherwise indicated.

F. Spray and Brush Painting: Paint ingredients shall be kept properly
mixed in spray pots or containers during paint application, either by
continuous mechanical agitation or by intermittent agitation. Paint
shall be applied in a uniform layer, with overlapping at the edge of the
spray pattern. The spray pattern shall be adjusted so that the paint is
deposited uniformly. During application, the gun shall be held at right
angles (perpendicular) to the surface, and at a distance that will
ensure that a wet layer of paint is deposited on the surface. The
trigger of the gun shall be released at the end of each stroke. Runs,
sags, or curtains shall be brushed out immediately, or the paint shall
be removed and these areas repainted.

1\. Brush striping will be required in areas inaccessible to the spray
gun. These areas shall be painted by brush or sheepskin daubers and
brushes used to work paint into cracks, crevices, and blind spots that
are not adequately painted by spray.

2\. Painting by brush shall be done in a neat, workmanlike manner to
produce a smooth coat as uniform in thickness as possible. Paint shall
be worked into irregularities in the surface, crevices, and corners.
Runs, sags, or curtains shall be brushed out. Surfaces that are
inaccessible for painting with brushes and on which spraying is not
permitted shall have paint applied by means of sheepskin daubers. When
flat brushes are used, they shall not exceed 4 inches in width. The
bristle length shall be no less than 3‑1/2 inches. When not in use, the
brushes shall be kept in a clean, acceptable condition.

G. Surfaces to be Painted: Except where natural finish of material is
specifically noted as a surface not to be painted, paint exposed
surfaces whether or not colors are designated in \"schedules.\" Where
items or surfaces are not specifically mentioned, paint the same as
similar adjacent materials or areas. If color or finish is not
designated, the Contracting Officer will select these from standard
colors or finishes available.

1\. Where surfaces or materials of different colors intersect, each
color shall be cut carefully into the other to form a neat, straight
line.

2\. Ensure that those surfaces which are not in contact, but which will
be made inaccessible by assembly or erection, have received the full
number of specified coats before they become inaccessible.

3\. Surfaces that are left unpainted by the requirements of other
specifications shall be painted or finished as a part of this section.
Some prime coats are specified elsewhere but shall be painted two finish
coats as a part of this section.

4\. Primed Ferrous Metal: Exterior and interior exposed and primed
ferrous metal shall be painted, whether walls and ceilings are painted
or not, unless noted otherwise.

H. Mechanical and Electrical Equipment: Items to be painted include, but
are not limited to, the following:

1\. Color coding and identification banding of piping and conduit. Color
coding of piping shall conform to ANSI A 13.1.

2\. Tanks

3\. Motors, mechanical equipment, and supports

4\. Heat exchangers

5\. Accessory items

6\. Interior surfaces of air ducts which are visible through grilles and
louvers: One coat flat black.

7\. Dampers exposed immediately behind louvers or grilles to match face

9\. Exposed‑to‑view interior mechanical and electrical items shall be
painted with deep‑tone bright colors.

I. Work Not Included: Unless specified otherwise, field painting will
not be required on items furnished with a factory-applied finish paint
or on the following items: Bronze, chromium plate, nickel, stainless
steel, or aluminum.

1\. Painting will not be required, unless scheduled otherwise, in
vertical shafts, interior of furred spaces or chases, or above suspended
ceilings.

2\. Do not paint code‑required labels, such as Underwriters\'
Laboratories and Factory Mutual, or equipment identification,
performance rating, name, or nomenclature plates.

3.4 CLEANING:

A. General: Paint spots, oil, or stains shall be removed from windows,
hardware, and other surfaces not scheduled to receive paint finishes.

B. Removal: Upon completion of the work, staging, scaffolding, and
containers shall be removed from the project.

C. Damaged Areas: Paint exposed to freezing, excessive humidity, rain,
snow, or condensation shall be permitted to dry. Damaged areas of paint
shall then be removed, the surface again prepared and painted with the
same number of coats of paint of the same kind as the undamaged area.

D. Scheduling: Cleaning and painting shall be so scheduled that dust and
other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly
painted surfaces.

E. Fire Hazards: Clothes and waste which would constitute a fire hazard
shall be removed from the project daily.
