General: Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting fixtures, and <br />similar items already installed that are not to be painted or provide surface-applied protection prior to <br />surface preparation and painting. Remove these items, if necessary, to completely paint the items and <br />adjacent surfaces. Following completion of painting operations in each space or area, have items <br />reinstalled by workers skilled in the trades involved. <br />B. Cleaning: Before applying paint or other surface treatments, clean the substrates of substances that <br />could impair the bond of the various coatings. Remove oil and grease prior to cleaning. Schedule <br />cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, <br />newly painted surfaces. <br />C. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to the manufacturer's <br />instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified. <br />1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime. Notify Architect in <br />writing about anticipated problems using the specified finish-coat material with substrates <br />primed by others. <br />2. Cementitious Materials: Prepare concrete, concrete masonry block, cement plaster, and <br />mineral- fiber -reinforced cement panel surfaces to be painted. Remove efflorescence, chalk, <br />dust, dirt, grease, oils, and release agents. Roughen, as required, to remove glaze. If hardeners <br />or sealers have been used to improve curing, use mechanical methods of surface preparation. <br />3. Use abrasive blast-cleaning methods if recommended by the paint manufacturer. <br />4. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate tests. If <br />surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause the finish paint to blister and burn, correct this <br />condition before <br />application. Do not paint surfaces where moisture content exceeds that permitted in <br />manufacturer's printed directions. <br />5. Wood: Clean surfaces of dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with scrapers, mineral spirits, <br />and sandpaper, as required. Sand surfaces exposed to view smooth and dust off. <br />a. Scrape and clean small, dry, seasoned knots, and apply a thin coat of white shellac or <br />other recommended knot sealer before applying primer. After priming, fill holes and <br />imperfections in finish surfaces with putty or plastic wood filler. Sand smooth when <br />dried. <br />b. Prime, stain, or seal wood to be painted immediately upon delivery. Prime edges, ends, <br />faces, undersides, and backsides of wood, including cabinets, counters, cases, and <br />paneling. <br />c. When transparent finish is required, backprime with spar varnish. <br />d. Backprime paneling on interior partitions where masonry, plaster, or other wet wall <br />construction occurs on backside. <br />e. Seal tops, bottoms, and cutouts of unprimed wood doors with a heavy coat of varnish or <br />sealer immediately upon delivery. <br />6. Ferrous Metals: Clean ungalvanized ferrous metal surfaces that have not been shop-coated; <br />remove oil, grease, dirt, loose mill scale, and other foreign substances. Use solvent or <br />mechanical cleaning methods that comply with recommendations of the Steel Structures <br />Painting Council (SSPC). <br />a. Blast steel surfaces clean as recommended by the paint system manufacturer and <br />according to requirements of SSPC specification SSPC-SP 10. <br />b. Treat bare and sandblasted or pickled clean metal with a metal treatment wash coat <br />before priming. <br />c. Touch up bare areas and shop-applied prime coats that have been damaged. Wire-brush, <br />clean with solvents recommended by the paint manufacturer, and touch up with the <br />same primer as the shop coat. <br />7. Galvanized Surfaces: Clean galvanized surfaces with nonpetroleum-based solvents so that the <br />surface is free of oil and surface contaminants. Remove pretreatment from galvanized sheet <br />metal fabricated from coil stock by mechanical methods. <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 09980A3B-0691-41B4-854D-3865F2287392
