PART 3EXECUTION
3.1EXAMINATION
A.General:
1.Examine substrates, areas, and conditions, with the Applicator present, under which painting will be performed for compliance with paint application requirements.
2.Do not begin to apply paint until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected and surfaces receiving paint are thoroughly dry.
3.Start of painting will be construed as the Applicator's acceptance of surfaces and conditions within a particular area.
B.Coordination of Work:
1.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.
2.Notify the Architect about anticipated problems using the materials specified over substrates primed by others.
3.2PREPARATION
A.General:
1.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 the size or weight of the item, provide surface-applied protection before surface preparation and painting.
2.After completing painting operations in each space or area, reinstall items removed using workers skilled in the trades involved.
B.Cleaning:
1.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 before cleaning.
2.Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.
C.Surface Preparation:
1.Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to manufacturer's written instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified.
2.Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime.
3.Cementitious Materials:
a.Prepare concrete and concrete masonry block surfaces to be painted.
1)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.
2)Level surface imperfections by grinding, stoning or scraping. Clean free of efflorescence, dirt and dust.
b.Use abrasive blast-cleaning methods if recommended by the paint manufacturer.
c.Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate tests. If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause blistering and burning of finish paint, correct this condition before application. Do not paint over surfaces where moisture content exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's printed directions.
4.Gypsum Board Surfaces:
a.Surfaces shall be dry and shall have all loose dirt and dust removed by brushing with a soft brush or rubbing with a dry cloth prior to application of the first coat material.
5.Wood:
a.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.
