PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 PROTECTION OF AREAS AND SPACES NOT TO BE PAINTED
Prior to surface preparation and coating applications, remove, mask, or otherwise protect hardware, hardware accessories, machined surfaces, radiator covers, plates, lighting fixtures, public and private property, and other such items not to be coated that are in contact with surfaces to be coated. Following completion of painting, reinstall removed items by workmen skilled in the trades. Restore surfaces contaminated by coating materials, to original condition and repair damaged items.
3.2 SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove dirt, splinters, loose particles, grease, oil, and other foreign matter and substances deleterious to coating performance as specified for each substrate before application of paint or surface treatments. Remove oil and grease prior to mechanical cleaning. Schedule cleaning so that dust and other contaminants will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.
Spot-prime exposed ferrous metals such as nail heads on or in contact with surfaces to be painted with water-thinned paints, with a suitable corrosion-inhibitive primer capable of preventing flash rusting and compatible with the coating specified for the adjacent areas. Refer to MPI ASM and MPI MRM for additional more specific substrate preparation requirements.
3.2.1 Additional Requirements for Preparation of Surfaces With Existing Coatings
Before application of coatings, perform the following on surfaces covered by soundly-adhered coatings, defined as those which cannot be removed with a putty knife:
a. Test existing finishes for lead before sanding, scraping, or removing. If lead is present, refer to paragraph Toxic Materials.
b. Wipe previously painted surfaces to receive solvent-based coatings, except stucco and similarly rough surfaces clean with a clean, dry cloth saturated with mineral spirits, ASTM D235 or as specified in MPI MRM. Wipe the surfaces dry with a clean, dry, lint free cloth.
Wipe immediately preceding the application of the first coat of any coating, unless specified otherwise.
c. Sand existing glossy surfaces to be painted to reduce gloss. Brush, and wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dust.
d. The requirements specified are minimum. Comply also with the application instructions of the paint manufacturer and specific surface preparation requirements as outlined in MPI MRM Exterior Surface Preparation and Interior Surface Preparation.
e. Thoroughly clean previously painted surfaces specified to be repainted of all grease, dirt, dust or other foreign matter.
f. Remove blistering, cracking, flaking and peeling or otherwise deteriorated coatings.
g. Remove chalk so that when tested in accordance with ASTM D4214, the chalk resistance rating is no less than 8.
SECTION 09 90 00 Page 13
h. Roughen slick surfaces. Repair damaged areas such as, but not limited to, nail holes, cracks, chips, and spalls with suitable material to match adjacent undamaged areas.
i. Feather and sand smooth edges of chipped paint.
j. Clean rusty metal surfaces in accordance with SSPC requirements. Use solvent, mechanical, or chemical cleaning methods to provide surfaces suitable for painting.
k. Provide new, proposed coatings that are compatible with existing coatings.
3.2.2 Existing Coated Surfaces with Minor Defects
Sand, spackle, and treat minor defects to render them smooth. Minor defects are defined as scratches, nicks, cracks, gouges, spalls, alligatoring, chalking, and irregularities due to partial peeling of previous coatings. Remove chalking by sanding so that when tested in accordance with ASTM D4214, the chalk rating is not less than 8.
3.2.3 Removal of Existing Coatings
Remove existing coatings from the following surfaces:
a. Surfaces containing large areas of minor defects;
b. Surfaces containing more than 20 percent peeling area; and
c. Surfaces designated by the Contracting Officer, such as surfaces where rust shows through existing coatings.
3.2.4 Substrate Repair
a. Repair substrate surface damaged during coating removal;
b. Sand edges of adjacent soundly-adhered existing coatings so they are tapered as smooth as practical to areas involved with coating removal;
and
c. Clean and prime the substrate as specified.
3.3 PREPARATION OF METAL SURFACES
3.3.1 Existing and New Ferrous Surfaces
a. Ferrous Surfaces including Shop-coated Surfaces and Small Areas That
Contain Rust, Mill Scale and Other Foreign Substances: Solvent clean or detergent wash in accordance with SSPC SP 1 to remove oil and grease.

a. New or Existing Galvanized Surfaces With Only Dirt and Zinc Oxidation
Products: Clean with solvent, steam, or non-alkaline detergent solution in accordance with SSPC SP 1. Completely remove coating by brush-off abrasive blast if the galvanized metal has been passivated or stabilized. Do not "passivate" or "stabilize" new galvanized steel to be coated. If the absence of hexavalent stain inhibitors is not documented, test as described in ASTM D6386, Appendix X2, and remove by one of the methods described therein.
b. Galvanized with Slight Coating Deterioration or with Little or No
Rusting: Water jetting to SSPC-SP WJ-3/NACE WJ-3 to remove loose coating from surfaces with less than 20 percent coating deterioration and no blistering, peeling, or cracking.
