DSS Skills Development Center Smith Sinnett / 2020045 <br />Chapel Hill, North Carolina Orange County <br /> <br />PAINTING 09 91 00 - 9 <br />E. Prime Coats: Before applying finish coats, apply a prime coat of material, as recommended by the <br />manufacturer, to material that is required to be painted or finished and that has not been prime-coated by <br />others. Recoat primed and sealed surfaces where evidence of suction spots or unsealed areas in first coat <br />appears, to ensure a finish coat with no burn-through or other defects due to insufficient sealing. <br />F. Pigmented (Opaque) Finishes: Completely cover to provide a smooth, opaque surface of uniform finish, <br />color, appearance, and coverage. Cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps, brush marks, runs, sags, ropiness, <br />or other surface imperfections will not be acceptable. <br />G. Transparent (Clear) Finishes: Use multiple coats to produce a glass-smooth surface film of even luster. <br />Provide a finish free of laps, cloudiness, color irregularity, runs, brush marks, orange peel, nail holes, or <br />other surface imperfections. <br />1. Provide satin finish for final coats. <br />H. Completed Work: Match approved samples for color, texture, and coverage. Remove, refinish, or <br />repaint work not complying with specified requirements. <br />3.6 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL <br />A. The Owner reserves the right to invoke the following test procedure at any time and as often as the Owner <br />deems necessary during the period when paint is being applied: <br />B. The Owner will engage the services of an independent testing agency to sample the paint material being <br />used. Samples of material delivered to the Project will be taken, identified, sealed, and certified in the <br />presence of the Contractor. <br />C. Testing agency will perform appropriate tests for the following characteristics as required by the Owner: <br />1. Quantitative materials analysis. <br />2. Abrasion resistance. <br />3. Apparent reflectivity. <br />4. Flexibility. <br />5. Washability. <br />6. Absorption. <br />7. Accelerated weathering. <br />8. Dry opacity. <br />9. Accelerated yellowness. <br />10. Recoating. <br />11. Skinning. <br />12. Color retention. <br />13. Alkali and mildew resistance. <br />14. If test results show material being used does not comply with specified requirements, the <br />Contractor may be directed to stop painting, remove noncomplying paint, pay for testing, repaint <br />surfaces coated with rejected paint, and remove rejected paint from previously painted surfaces if, <br />upon repainting with specified paint, the two coatings are incompatible. <br />3.7 CLEANING AND PROTECTION <br />A. Cleanup: At the end of each work day, remove empty cans, rags, rubbish, and other discarded paint <br />materials from the site. <br />1. After completing painting, clean glass and paint-spattered surfaces. Remove spattered paint by <br />washing and scraping. Be careful not to scratch or damage adjacent finished surfaces. <br />B. Protection: <br />1. Protect work of other trades, whether being painted or not, against damage by painting. Correct <br />damage by cleaning, repairing or replacing, and repainting, as acceptable to Architect. <br />2. Provide "Wet Paint" signs to protect newly painted finishes. Remove temporary protective <br />wrappings provided by others to protect their work after completing painting operations. <br />a. At completion of construction activities of other trades, touch up and restore damaged or <br />defaced painted surfaces. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: ECCAC5A0-6CC8-4B37-8AD3-89D69F0AE1AE
