PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Examine substrates, areas, and conditions, with Applicator present, for compliance with requirements for paint application. 1. Proceed with paint application only after unsatisfactory conditions have been

corrected and surfaces receiving paint are thoroughly dry. 2. Start of painting will be construed as Applicator's acceptance of surfaces and

conditions within a particular area.

B. Coordination of Work: Review other Sections in which primers are provided to ensure compatibility of the total system for various substrates. On request, furnish information on characteristics of finish materials to ensure use of compatible primers.

09910-7




3.2 PREPARATION

A. General: Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting fixtures, and similar items already installed that are not to be painted. If removal is impractical or impossible because of size or weight of the item, provide surface-applied protection before surface preparation and painting. 1. 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 substrates of substances that could impair bond of the various coatings. Remove oil and grease before cleaning. 1. All surfaces to be painted shall be cleaned and prepared as specified. The

painting contractor is responsible for the finish of his work. Should any surface be found unsuitable to produce a proper paint or sealant finish, the Owner or Owner's agent shall be notified, in writing, and no materials shall be applied until the unsuitable surfaces have been made satisfactory. Coating performance is affected by proper product selection, application, and surface preparation. Coating integrity and service life will be reduced because of improperly prepared surfaces. The selection and implementation of proper surface preparation ensures coating adhesion to the substrate and prolongs the service life of the coating system.

2. Maintenance painting will frequently not permit or require complete removal of all old coatings prior to repainting. However, ALL surface contamination such as oil, grease, loose and marginally adhering paint, mill scale, dirt, foreign matter, rust, mold, mildew, mortar, efflorescence and sealers must be removed to assure sound bonding to the tightly adhering old paint. In addition, glossy surfaces of old paint films must be clean and dull before repainting. Spot prime all bare areas with the appropriate primer. Recognize that any surface preparation short of total removal of the old coatings may compromise the service length of the system. Always check for compatibility of the previously painted surface with the new coating by applying a test patch of 2-3 square feet. Allow to dry thoroughly, check adhesion.

3. All exterior surfaces must be thoroughly pressure cleaned using a pressure washer at 2500 PSI and a 15 degree tip held no more than 12" from the surface to insure the surface is cleaned free of all loose, scaling, and marginally adhering paint, all chalk, mildew, stains, dirt, grease or other foreign material. Surface must be firm, clean and dry before proceeding. All loose and scaling paint not removed by pressure cleaning shall be removed by wire brushing or other suitable power tool cleaning. Remove mildew using a solution of chlorine bleach and water mixed to a ratio of 1 part chlorine bleach and 3 parts water. Taking extreme care not to get solution on adjacent vegetation. Allow solution to remain on the surface for 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water.

09910-8




CAUTION: DO NOT ADD HOUSEHOLD DETERGENTS OR AMMONIA TO THE BLEACH SOLUTION. Wear protective glasses or goggles, waterproof gloves, and protective clothing. Quickly wash off with soap and clean water any solution that touches the skin. Wet any shrubbery in the area where cleaning prior to use of any bleach and water mixture rinse completely after area cleaned.

C. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to manufacturer's written instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified. 1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime. 2. Cementitious Materials: Prepare concrete, concrete unit masonry, cement

plaster, and mineral-fiber-reinforced cement panel surfaces to be painted. Remove efflorescence, chalk, dust, dirt, grease, oils, and release agents. Roughen as required to remove glaze. If hardeners or sealers have been used to improve curing, use mechanical methods of surface preparation. a. Use abrasive blast-cleaning methods if recommended by paint

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

c. Clean concrete floors to be painted with a 5 percent solution of muriatic acid or other etching cleaner. Flush the floor with clean water to remove acid, neutralize with ammonia, rinse, allow to dry, and vacuum before painting.

3. Wood: Clean 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. After priming, fill holes and imperfections in finish surfaces with putty or plastic wood filler. Tint fillers to match wood. Sand smooth when dried.

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

c. Backprime paneling on interior partitions where masonry, plaster, or other wet wall construction occurs on back side.

4. Ferrous Metals: Clean un-galvanized 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 SSPC's recommendations. a. Blast steel surfaces clean as recommended by paint system

manufacturer. b. Treat bare and sandblasted or pickled clean metal with a metal treatment

wash coat before priming.

09910-9




c. 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 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. Material 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.

3.3 APPLICATION

A. General: Apply paint according to manufacturer's written instructions. Use applicators and techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied. 1. Paint colors, surface treatments, and finishes are indicated in the paint

schedules. 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, grilles, convector covers, covers for finned-tube radiation, and similar components are in place. Extend coatings in these areas, as required, to maintain system integrity and provide desired protection.

5. Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture the same as similar exposed surfaces. Before 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, non-specular black paint where visible through registers or grilles.

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

8. Finish exterior doors on tops, bottoms, and side edges the same as exterior faces.

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.

09910-10




1. The number of coats and film thickness required are the same regardless of

application method. Do not apply succeeding coats until previous coat has cured as recommended by manufacturer. If sanding is required to produce a smooth, even surface according to manufacturer's written instructions, sand between applications.

2. Omit primer over 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 that 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, and does not deform or feel sticky under moderate thumb pressure, and until application of another coat of paint does not cause undercoat to lift or lose adhesion.

C. Application Procedures: Apply paints and coatings by brush, roller, spray, or other applicators according to manufacturer's written instructions. 1. Brushes: Use brushes best suited for type of material applied. Use brush of

appropriate size for surface or item being painted. 2. Rollers: Use rollers of carpet, velvet-back, or high-pile sheep's wool as

recommended by manufacturer for material and texture required. 3. Spray Equipment: Use airless spray equipment with orifice size as

recommended by manufacturer for material and texture required.

D. Minimum Coating Thickness: Apply paint materials no thinner than manufacturer's recommended spreading rate to achieve dry film thickness indicated. Provide total dry film thickness of the entire system as recommended by manufacturer.

E. Mechanical and Electrical Work: Painting of mechanical and electrical work is limited to items exposed in equipment rooms and occupied spaces.

F. Mechanical items to be painted include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Un-insulated metal piping. 2. Pipe hangers and supports. 3. Tanks that do not have factory-applied final finishes. 4. Visible portions of internal surfaces of metal ducts, without liner, behind air
