3.3 All paint or coating materials shall be supplied to the worksite in their original unopened
and clearly identified containers
3.4 Paint materials shall be used before the expiration of their shelf‐life. Not beyond 12 months.
not beyond 6 months for zinc slicate
3.5 Materials shall be prepared for use in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
3.6 Miscellaneous or small size items shall be painted in accordance with the manufacturer's standard.
3.7 During the sequential paintings, especially at the time of on‐site painting after shop paintings, each
painting shall be carried out after adequate surface treatment through consultation with the paint
supplier if the period between the sequance elapses beyond than specified by the supplier.
4. Surface Prepation
4.1 Blast cleaning shall not be conducted when the temperature of the surface is less than 3 oC above
dew point of the surrounding air, or when the relative humidity of the air is grater than 85%.
But if manufacturer's data sheet requires more stringent value, they shall be observed.
( AMBIENT TEMP. > 5 oC )
4.2 After surface cleaning is completed any oil, grease, dust or foreign matters deposited on the surface
shall be removed prior to painting
4.3 All welds shall be relatively smooth, without sharp edges and free of weldslags and spatter
4.4 The blast cleaned surfaces shall be rendered clean, dry and free from weld spatter, dust, oil
greases prior to application of a primer coat.
4.5 The blast cleaning is used with steel or other non ‐ silicate bearing grit
4.6 Abrasive shall be of a type that give a blasting cleaned profile (peak to peak ) of 40 ~ 75 micron

5. Application
5.1 All surface which have been blast cleaned shall be coated within 4 hours and before rust bloom occurs.
5.2 Painting shall be applied by means of brushing, rolling or spraying. But prime coats must not be applied
by rollers. For the applications of zinc sillicate prime coats, brushes shall not be used
Hoses, paint containers ,and spray guns shall be thoroughly cleaned prior to the addition of new materials
The spray guns shall always be held at right angles to the surface . Not closer than 200mm and not futher
than 600mm from the surface.Each pass shall overlap the previous pass and are surfaces shall always
have passes in two directions at right angels to each other.Equipment shall be adjusted until the optimum
spray pattern is achieved.
Before spraying each coat, all corners, weld,edges,small brackets, bolts,nuts and interstices shall be pre‐
coated by brush to ensure that in these areas the minimum DFT is achieved.
Each coat is to be applied uniformly over the entire surface.Runs and sags shall be brushed out
immediately or the paint shall be removed and the surface resprayed.
Brush application may only be used if the area cannot be sprayed adequately. For intial stripe coats
PAINT MANUFACTURE's instructions, enviromental restrictions, DFT requirement or touch up of
damage areas.
All brushes shall be of good quality to enable the proper application of the paint.
Paint shall be brushed on in a smooth even coat, deep brush marks should be avoided, all runs and
sags are to be immediately brushes out, paint shall be properly worked into all corners and crevices.
Roller application shall only be used if spraying is not posible and then only if the priming coat was
applied with a brush and in accordance with the PAINT MANUFACTURES's instructions
5.3 Painting shall be carefully done in such a way as specified by the paint manufacture's and as to give
a coating free from lifting, loss of adhesion, discoloration and finished to uniform paint film thickness.
5.4 Painting shall be carefully performed at all edges, corners, crevices, rivets, bolts, and nuts, weld and
other complex shapers where those parts are sensitive to get rust.

5.5 On sharp edges, blots, or where crevice occurs, a patch or strip coat of primer shall be applied
by brushing at first.
5.6 Before the application of each coat of paint, the previous coat of paint shall be allowed to fully cure
in line with the time and temperature conditions givens by the paint manufacturer.
5.7 Each coat of paint shall be a different colours/ shade from the previous one to facilitate correct paint
application and DFT measurement
5.8 The paint shall be applied in an even, continuous film, particular attention shall be paid to the edges
weld and corners and areas of difficult geometry in order that the specified dry film thickness is
achieved in these areas
5.10 For areas where paint application may result in thin coatings, extra coat of paint shal be normally applied
by firstly painting stripe coats
5.11 Over Spray of zinc rich primers onto austentic, duplex and nickel alloy steel shall be avoided
5.12 Application of paint system shall be in accordance with paint manufactures requirements for
environmental conditions and methods of application.
5.13 Adequate ventilation shall be provided during the application and curing of the paint, especially
if this is carried out in enclosed conditions
5.14 The handling and transportation of painted items shall not be carried out until the paint has full cured.
Damage to the paint system during handling shall be avoided as much as possible and all appropriate
measures to avoid damage shall be taken, such as the use of non ‐ metalic slings, etc
5.15 Shop painting of presure equipment and piping shall be perform after completion off all
shop heat treatment, testing, and examination
5.16.1 This repair procedure covers the repair methods for the minor damaged surfaces caused by burns,
weld scratches, impact etc after fabrication or during fabrication, handling, storage, shipping
erection, etc

5.16.2 All general specification including surface preparation and coatings in repainting the damages surfaces
shall be comformed to para 2.3.4 of this painting procedure or the paint manufacturer's recommendation
5.16.3 Damages surfaces not more than 0.25m (2.69 ft2) in repairing shall be spot cleaned using power tools
( abrasive wheels, needle gun or equivalent) power tool cleaning (SSPC‐SP‐3) damages surfaces more
than 0,25m(2.69 ft2) shall be spot cleaned using portable blasting machine, (vacum‐Blast)
Measure the profile touch‐up or repair shall be done with brush or spray units in accordance with
the paint manufactures recommendation.
5.16.4 Painting for touch ‐ up or repair shall be done with brush or spray units in accordance with the
paint manufactures recomondation.
5.16.5 The same primer as that applied in the shop or a compatible primer with the same resistance and

Feather the existing paint to expose a minimum of 13mm of each coat, 25mm minimum for finish coat.
5.16.6 The same coat as that applied in the shop or a compatible coat with the same resistance and
temperature limits shall be used for touch up areas.
‐ Apply the prime coat only to the surface of the bare steel and the existing prime coat exposed by
feathering. Do not apply the prime coat to the adjacent intermediate coat.
‐ Apply the intermediate coat only to the new prime coat and the existing intermediate coat expose
by feathering.Do not apply the intermediate coat to the adjacent finish coat.
‐ Apply the finish coat only to the new intermediate coat and the existing finish coat that was
feathered or lightly sanded nothing that to ensure a colour match it may be necessary to
extended the finish coat over a greather area. Do not apply the finish coat beyond areas that
were feathered or lightly sanded.
