b. Stripe Coat – All vertical/horizontal seams, ceiling overlapping plate ceiling support beams, support columns, nuts, bolts, ladders, pits, and all other irregular surfaces shall receive one coat of stripe coat to a dry film thickness of 2-3.0 mils.

c. Finish Coat a minimum thickness of 3-4 mils DFT. The total DFT (including existing paint) shall be 9-14 mils.

The Contractor shall provide a set of standards with the gauge in order for accuracy to be checked.

The prime coat must be sprayed with the shroud in place to prevent over-spray; it cannot be brushed or rolled. All painting after the prime coat is completed may be brushed or rolled with the shroud removed. If the coatings are to be sprayed, then shroud must be in place to prevent over-spray.
