PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXMINATION
A. Examine substrates and conditions under which painting will be performed for
compliance with paint application requirements. Surfaces receiving paint shall be
thoroughly dry before paint is applied.

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, or
provide surface-applied protection prior to surface preparation and painting.
Following completion of painting operations in each space or area, items shall be
reinstalled by workers skilled in the involved trades.
B. Cleaning: before applying paint or other surface treatments, clean the substrates
of substances that could impair the bond of the various coatings. Remove oil and
grease prior to cleaning. Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other
contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly painted
surfaces.
C. Surface preparation: clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to the
manufacturer's instructions for each particular substrate condition and as
specified.
1. Incompatible primers: provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or
remove and reprime. Notify the Architect in writing about anticipated
problems using the specified finish coat material with substrates primed by
others.
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

ANZ Royal Bank (Cambodia) LTD. Mao Tse Tung Blvd Branch
Construction New Building June 2008

curing, use mechanical methods of surface preparation.

a. Use abrasive blast-cleaning methods if recommended by the 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 where moisture content exceeds that permitted in
manufacturer's printed directions.
3. 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
recommendations of the Steel Structures Painting Council (SSPC).
a. Touch up bare areas and shop-applied prime coats that have been
damaged.
Wire-brush, clean with solvents recommended by the paint manufacturer,
and touch up with the same primer as the shop coat.
D. Materials preparation: carefully mix and prepare paint materials according to
manufacturer's directions.
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. Remove film
and, if necessary, strain material before using.
3. Use only thinners approved by the paint manufacturer and only within
recommended limits.
E. Tinting: tint each undercoat a lighter shade to facilitate identification of each coat
where 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
A. General: apply paint according to manufacturer's directions. 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 schedules.

File: ANZ-SP-MTB 2007

ANZ Royal Bank (Cambodia) LTD. Mao Tse Tung Blvd Branch
Construction New Building June 2008

2. Provide finish coats that are compatible with applied primers.

3. The number of coats and the required film thickness are the same regardless of
the application method. Do not apply succeeding coats until the previous coat
has cured as recommended by the manufacturer. Sand between applications
where sanding is required to produce a smooth even surface according to the
manufacturer's directions.
4. Apply additional coats if undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through
final coat of paint until paint film is of uniform finish, color, and appearance.
Give special attention to ensure that formed surfaces, including edges, corners,
crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners, receive a dry film thickness equivalent
to that of flat surfaces.
5. Paint surfaces which are visible when permanent or built-in fixtures, grilles,
and similar components are in place. Extend coatings into these areas, as
required, to maintain system integrity and provide desired protection.
6. 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.
7. Paint interior surfaces of ducts, where visible through registers or grilles, with
a flat, nonspecular black paint.
8. Paint back sides of access panels and removable or hinged covers to match
exposed surfaces.
9. Paint closets and other unidentified areas same as adjoining areas.
10. Sand lightly between each succeeding enamel or varnish coat.
11. Omit primer on metal surfaces that have been shop-primed and touch-up
painted.
12. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed surfaces, or
conditions detrimental to formation of a durable paint film.
B. Mechanical and electrical work: painting mechanical and electrical work is limited
to items, both bare and insulated, which are exposed in mechanical and electrical
equipment rooms and in occupied spaces.
C. 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.

ANZ Royal Bank (Cambodia) LTD. Mao Tse Tung Blvd Branch
Construction New Building June 2008

1. Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not
recoat until paint 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.
D. Application procedures: apply paints and coatings by brush, roller, spray, or other
applicators according to the manufacturer's directions.
1. Brushes: use brushes best suited for the applied material.
2. Rollers: use rollers of carpet, velvet back, or high-pile sheep's wool as
recommended by the manufacturer for the required material and
texture.
3. Spray equipment: use airless spray equipment with orifice size as
recommended by the manufacturer for the required material and
texture.
E. Minimum coating thickness: apply materials no thinner than the manufacturer's
recommended spreading rate. Provide the total dry film thickness of the entire
system as recommended by the manufacturer.
F. Block fillers: apply block fillers to concrete masonry block at a rate to ensure
complete coverage with pores filled.
G. Prime coats: before applying finish coats, apply a prime coat of material, as
recommended by the manufacturer, to material that is required to be painted or
finished and that has not been prime-coated by others. Recoat primed and sealed
surfaces where evidence of suction spots or unsealed areas in first coat appears,
to ensure a finish coat with no bum-through or other defects due to insufficient
sealing.
H. Completed work: match approved samples for color, texture, and
coverage. Remove, refinish, or repaint work not complying with
specified requirements.
3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Field samples: duplicate finishes of prepared samples on wall surfaces and other
exterior and interior components. Provide full-coat finish samples until required
sheen, color, and texture are obtained. Simulate finished lighting conditions for
review of inplace work.

conditions for each type of coating and substrate to be painted. Apply

coatings in this room on at least 9 sq m of surface according to the schedule
or as specified. After finishes are accepted, this room will be used to
evaluate coating systems of a similar nature elsewhere in the Project.
2. Final acceptance of colors will be from field applied samples.

B. Field testing: The Owner reserves the right to require the following test
procedure at any time and as often as the Owner deems necessary during the
period when paint is being applied:
1. Engage the services of an independent testing agency to sample the paint
material being used. Samples of material delivered to the Project will be
taken, identified, sealed, and certified in the presence of the Contractor.
2. The testing agency will perform appropriate tests for the following
characteristics as required by the Owner:
a. Quantitative materials analysis.
b. Abrasion resistance.
c. Apparent reflectivity.
d. Flexibility.
e. Washability.
f. Absorption.
g. Accelerated weathering.
h. Dry opacity.
i. Accelerated yellowness.
j. Recoating.
k. Skinning.
l. Color retention.
m. Alkali and mildew resistance.
3. If test results show material being used does not comply with specified
requirements, the Contractor may be directed to stop painting, remove
noncomplying paint from the site, pay for testing, and repaint surfaces
previously coated with noncomplying paint. If, upon repainting with
specified paint, the two paints are incompatible, remove noncomplying
paint from previously coated surfaces before repainting.
