PREPARATION

EXPAND PARA AND SUBPARA BELOW IF ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS ARE NECESSARY TO SATISFY UNUSUAL PROJECT CIRCUMSTANCES.

A. General: Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting fixtures, and similar items already installed that are not to be painted.

1. If removal is impractical or impossible because of the size or weight of the item, provide surface-applied protection before surface preparation and painting.

2. After completing painting operations in each space or area, reinstall items removed using workers skilled in the trades involved.

B.

Cleaning: Before applying paint or other surface treatments, clean the substrates of substances that could impair the bond of the various coatings.

1. Remove oil and grease before cleaning.

2. Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.

ALWAYS RETAIN PARA AND SUBPARAS BELOW THAT SPECIFY SURFACE PREPARATION. PROPER SURFACE PREPARATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR SATISFACTORY COATING PERFORMANCE. EXPAND REQUIREMENTS, IF NECESSARY, TO INCLUDE SPECIAL PROCEDURES REQUESTED BY MFRS OR TO SATISFY SPECIAL PROJECT CONDITIONS.

C.

Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to manufacturer's written instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified.

COORDINATION OF SHOP-APPLIED PRIMERS WITH FINISH COATS IS CRITICAL. SEE THE "COORDINATION OF WORK" PARA IN THE "EXAMINATION" ARTICLE. IF COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS DEVELOP, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO PROVIDE BARRIER COATS OVER SHOP-APPLIED PRIMERS OR REMOVE THE PRIMER AND REPRIME THE SUBSTRATE.

1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime.

2. Prepare concrete, concrete masonry block, and cement plaster surfaces to be painted.

a. Remove efflorescence, chalk, dust, dirt, grease, oils, and release agents. Roughen as required to remove glaze.

b. If hardeners or sealers have been used to improve curing, use mechanical methods of surface preparation.

c. Use abrasive blast-cleaning methods if recommended by paint manufacturer.

d. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate tests. If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause the finish paint to blister and burn, correct this condition before application.

e. Do not paint surfaces where moisture content exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.

DELETE SUBPARAS BELOW IF WOOD SURFACES ARE NOT TO BE PAINTED, OR REVISE TO SUIT THE PROJECT.

3.

Clean wood surfaces of dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with scrapers, mineral spirits, and sandpaper, as required. Sand surfaces exposed to view smooth and dust off.

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

b. After priming, fill holes and imperfections in finish surfaces with putty or plastic wood filler. Sand smooth when dried.

c. Prime, stain, or seal wood to be painted immediately on delivery. Prime edges, ends, faces, undersides, and backsides of wood, including cabinets, counters, cases, and paneling.

d. When transparent finish is required, backprime with spar varnish.

e. Backprime paneling on interior partitions where masonry, plaster, or other wet wall construction occurs on backside.

f. Seal tops, bottoms, and cutouts of unprimed wood doors with a heavy coat of varnish or sealer immediately on delivery.

REVISE SUBPARAS BELOW TO SUIT THE PROJECT.

4.

Ferrous Metals: Clean ungalvanized 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 the Steel Structures Painting Council's (SSPC) recommendations.

DELETE SUBPARA BELOW IF BLAST CLEANING IS NOT REQUIRED. SSPC-SP 10 REQUIRES A HIGHER LEVEL OF PREPARATION THAN IS OFTEN JUSTIFIED. REDUCE PREPARATION LEVEL TO SSPC-SP 6 IF WARRANTED.

a.

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

5.

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

D.

Materials Preparation: Mix and prepare paint materials according to manufacturer's written instructions.

1.

Maintain containers used in mixing and applying 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. If necessary, remove surface film and strain material before using.

3.

Use only thinners approved by paint manufacturer and only within recommended limits.

IF TINTING IS NOT REQUIRED, DELETE PARA BELOW. DIFFERENT TINTS WILL SHOW THROUGH AS THE TOPCOAT ERODES.

E.

Tinting: Tint each undercoat a lighter shade to simplify identification of each coat when multiple coats of the same material are applied. Tint undercoats to match the color of the finish coat, but provide sufficient differences in shade of undercoats to distinguish each separate coat.

3.3

APPLICATION

REVISE THIS ARTICLE TO SUIT THE PROJECT. ADD SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS ON APPLICATION METHODS, IF REQUIRED.

A.

General: Apply paint according to manufacturer's written instructions. Use applicators and techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied.

2.

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

3.

Provide finish coats that are compatible with primers used.

4.

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.

5.

Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture the same as similar exposed surfaces. Before the final installation of equipment, paint surfaces behind permanently fixed equipment or furniture with prime coat only.

6.

Paint interior surfaces of ducts with a flat, nonspecular black paint where visible through registers or grilles.

7.

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

10.

Sand lightly between each succeeding enamel or varnish coat.

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.

INSERT RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITS ON USE OF SPRAY EQUIPMENT IF NECESSARY TO SUIT SPECIAL PROJECT CONDITIONS.

1.

The number of coats and the film thickness required are the same regardless of application method. Do not apply succeeding coats until the previous coat has cured as recommended by the manufacturer. If sanding is required to produce a smooth, even surface according to manufacturer's written instructions, sand between applications.

2.

Omit primer on metal surfaces that have been shop primed and touchup painted.

3.

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

4.

Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not recoat surfaces until paint has dried to where it feels firm, does not deform or feel sticky under moderate thumb pressure, and where application of another coat of paint does not cause the undercoat to lift or lose adhesion.

REVISE PARA BELOW IF THE OWNER'S REQUIREMENTS OR OTHER SPECIAL PROJECT CONDITIONS RESTRICT OR LIMIT USE OF SPRAY EQUIPMENT FOR PAINT APPLICATION. SOME OWNERS PROHIBIT OR RESTRICT THE USE OF SPRAY ON THEIR PROJECTS. SPRAY APPLICATION OF PAINTS CAN DAMAGE SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC OPERATING EQUIPMENT AND MIGHT CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR PERSONNEL IN OCCUPIED BUILDINGS.
