3.1 EXAMINATION
(a). Examine substrates and conditions, with Applicator present, for compliance with
requirements for maximum moisture content and other conditions affecting
performance of the Work. Verify suitability of substrates, including
surface conditions and compatibility with existing finishes and primers. Where
acceptability of substrate conditions is in question, apply samples and perform in-
situ testing to verify compatibility, adhesion, and film integrity of new paint
application.
1. Report in writing conditions that may affect application, appearance, or
performance of paint.
(b). Substrate Conditions:
1. Maximum Moisture Content of Substrates: When measured with an
electronic moisture meter as follows:
a. Concrete floor: 12 percent for acrylic
b. Concrete Masonry: 12 percent for acrylic,
c. Gypsum Board: 12 percent for acrylic
d. Plaster: 12 percent for acrylic
2. Gypsum Board Substrates: Verify that finishing compound is sanded smooth.
3. Plaster Substrates: Verify that plaster is fully cured.

(c). Verify suitability of substrates, including surface conditions and compatibility, with
existing finishes and primers.
(d). Proceed with coating application only after unsatisfactory conditions have been
corrected; application of coating indicates acceptance of surfaces and
conditions.

3.2 PREPARATION
(a). Comply with manufacturer's written instructions and recommendations applicable
to substrates indicated.
(b). Remove hardware, covers, plates, and similar items already in place that are
removable and are not to be painted. If removal is impractical or impossible
because of size or weight of item, provide surface-applied
protection before surface preparation and painting.
1. After completing painting operations, use workers skilled in the trades
involved to reinstall items that were removed. Remove surface-
applied protection.
(c). Clean substrates of substances that could impair bond of coatings, including dust,
dirt, oil, grease, and incompatible paints and encapsulants.
1. Remove incompatible primers and reprime substrate with compatible primers
or apply tie coat as required to produce coating systems indicated.

10/11/2020 PROJECT NO.

(d). Concrete Substrates: Remove release agents, curing compounds, efflorescence,

and chalk. Do not coat surfaces if moisture content or alkalinity of surfaces
to be coated exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.
1. Clean surfaces with pressurized water. Use pressure range of 1500 to 4000
psi.
2. Use vacuum assisted centrifugal shot blasting or Dimond disc grinding (of
suitable size) for preparing concrete floors.
(e). Masonry Substrates: Remove efflorescence and chalk. Do not coat surfaces if
moisture content, or alkalinity of surfaces or if alkalinity of mortar joints
exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.
1. Clean surfaces with pressurized water. Use pressure range of 500 to 1200 psi

3.3 APPLICATION
(a). Apply all interior paints according to manufacturer's written instructions
and recommendations.
1. Use applicators and techniques suited for painting and substrate indicated.
2. Coat surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture same as similar
exposed surfaces. Before final installation, coat surfaces behind
permanently fixed equipment or furniture with prime coat only.
3. Coat back sides of access panels, removable or hinged covers, and similar
hinged items to match exposed surfaces.
4. Do not apply coatings over labels of independent testing agencies or
equipment name, identification, performance rating, or
nomenclature plates.

(b). If undercoats or other conditions show through final coat, apply additional coats
until cured film has a uniform coating finish, color, and appearance.
(c). Apply paint to produce surface films without cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps,
brush marks, runs, sags, ropiness, or other surface imperfections. Produce
sharp glass lines and color breaks.

3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

(a). Dry Film Thickness Testing: Owner may engage the services of a qualified testing and
inspecting agency to inspect and test coatings for dry film thickness.
1. Contractor shall touch up and restore coated surfaces damaged by testing.
2. If test results show that dry film thickness of applied coating does not comply
with coating manufacturer's written recommendations, Contractor
shall pay for testing and apply additional coats as needed to provide dry

film thickness that complies with coating manufacturer's written

recommendations.

3.5 CLEANING AND PROTECTION

(a). At end of each workday, remove rubbish, empty cans, rags, and other discarded
materials from Project site.
(b). After completing coating application, clean spattered surfaces. Remove spattered
coatings by washing, scraping, or other methods. Do not scratch or damage
adjacent finished surfaces.
(c). Protect work of other trades against damage from coating operation. Correct
damage by cleaning, repairing, replacing, and recoating, as approved by
Architect, and leave in an undamaged condition.
(d). At completion of construction activities of other trades, touch up and restore
damaged or defaced coated surfaces.
