The application procedure shall be such to guarantee a finish that will not scale, flake or peel, and will retain its color brightness and fresh, attractive appearance or 5 years without dulling or fading. The coating process shall involve such steps as the following:

3.3.18.8.1 Mechanical preparation: pedestal shafts shall be rotary-sanded to a satin - ground finish. Brackets shall be etched to a matte finish.

This treatment will place a rough surface on these items so the base coating layer will have excellent adhesion.

3.3.18.8.2 Cleaning: the bracket and traffic pedestal pole assembly shall be immersed in an alcoholic-phosphoric acid solution that will chemically clean these items. The cleaning solutions shall be kept at a nominal 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The bracket and pedestal assembly shall be immersed in the solvent solution for 5 minutes and then cold -water rinsed until all chemicals are washed off.

3.3.18.8.3 Conversion coating: the bracket and traffic pedestal pole assembly shall then be immersed in an amorphous chromate conversion coating solution for 5 minutes. The solution shall be maintained at

70 degrees Fahrenheit. This treatment will result in the formation of a surface film in which the film chemically bond s itself to the base metal by diffusion and becomes a part of the base metal. The bracket and pedestal shall be cold water rinsed. This surface will provide optimum adhesion and good stability for the color film so that it does not chip, peel or flake.

3.3.18.8.4 Primer coating: an aluminum primer shall be applied as required to the bracket and traffic pedestal pole assembly to further improve coating adhesion.

3.3.18.8.5 Final coating: each coat shall be properly dried before additional coats are applied. The top finish coat of paint shall be black and shall meet federal spec #595B, be semi -gloss, and conform to

Federal ID color #27038.
