Approved Equal BM, MAB, PPG. <br />PART 3 - EXECUTION <br />3.1 EXAMINATION <br />A. Examine substrates and conditions under which painting will be performed for compliance with paint <br />application requirements. Surfaces receiving paint must be thoroughly dry before paint is applied. <br />1. Do not begin to apply paint until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. <br />2. Start of painting will be construed as the Applicator's acceptance of surfaces and conditions within <br />a particular area. <br />B. Coordination of Work: Review other Sections in which primers are provided to ensure compatibility of <br />the total system for various substrates. On request, furnish information on characteristics of finish <br />materials to ensure use of compatible primers. <br />1. Notify the Architect about anticipated problems using the materials specified over substrates <br />primed by others. <br />3.2 PREPARATION <br />A. 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 could <br />impair the bond of the various coatings. Remove oil and grease prior to cleaning. Schedule cleaning and <br />painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly painted <br />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 primed <br />by others. <br />2. Cementitious Materials: Prepare concrete, concrete masonry block, cement plaster, and mineral - <br />fiber-reinforced cement panel surfaces to be painted. Remove efflorescence, chalk, dust, dirt, <br />grease, oils, and release agents. Roughen, as required, to remove glaze. If hardeners or sealers <br />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 surfaces <br />are sufficiently alkaline to cause the finish paint to blister and burn, correct this 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, and <br />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 other <br />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 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 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 />Docusign Envelope ID: 52FACC74-DA96-491B-B0B8-04AC3961737D
