If the primed <br />surface is removed or damaged, the exposed metal must be <br />reprimed with a suitable rust inhibitive primer before top <br />coating with a latex finish paint. <br />The application of the paint, using either a brush, roller or spray <br />equipment, shall be in accordance with the paint <br />manufacturer's recommendations. If spray equipment is used, <br />consult with the paint supplier on recommendations for correct <br />thinner or solvents. Do not use lacquer thinner or other solvents <br />that may react on the primer coat. <br />Products <br />These field painting procedures apply to ALL Steelcraft <br />products. <br />Air dry applications <br />To obtain the best results, use the following procedures: <br />1. Avoid painting in extremely cold or damp weather. <br />Suggested temperature range 50°F to 90°F. <br />2. Sand door and frame surfaces lightly with No. 300 or 320 <br />emery cloth or steel wool. <br />3. Clean door and frame surfaces using a mild solvent such as <br />mineral spirits or a mild citrus cleaner. Do not use strong <br />cleaning agents, acids or lacquer thinner. <br />4. Dry door and frame surfaces. Do not use oiled or tack rags <br />to dry door and frame surfaces. <br />5. Apply finish paint following manufacturer’s <br />recommendations. <br />Notes: <br />1. Latex paints may require, depending on atmospheric <br />conditions, up to 30 days before the paint is fully cured. <br />2. To avoid rusting with latex topcoat paints, it is <br />recommended to sand and re-prime with a rust inhibitive <br />primer any areas where the factory applied primer has been <br />removed or scratched through. <br />3. THE USE OF HIGH GLOSS PAINT IS NOT RECOMMENDED <br />ON B SERIES. All internal steel stiffeners are welded to <br />both face sheets. High gloss paint accentuates the visibility <br />of all welds. <br />4. Steelcraft hollow metal doors and frames are factory <br />painted providing finish integrity in accordance with test <br />procedures ANSI A250.10 or ANSI A250.3. Jobsite storage <br />and handling is critical. To insure integrity of the prime <br />painted coating, jobsite storage must be in accordance with <br />sections 2 and 3 of this manual, ANSI/SDI A250.10 and <br />HMMA 840. <br />Field baked-on finishes <br />To obtain the best results, use the following procedures: <br />1. Avoid painting in extremely cold or damp weather. <br />Suggested temperature range 50°F to 90°F. <br />2. Sand door surfaces lightly with No. 300 or 320 emery cloth <br />or steel wool. <br />3. Clean door surfaces using a mild solvent such as mineral <br />spirits or a mild citrus cleaner. Do not use strong cleaning <br />agents, acids or lacquer thinner. <br />4. Dry door surfaces. Do not use oiled or tack rags to dry door <br />surfaces. <br />5. Apply finish paint following manufacturer's <br />recommendations. <br />6.
