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 a <br />particular area. <br />B. Coordination of Work: Review other Sections in which primers are provided to ensure compatibility of the <br />total system for various substrates. On request, furnish information on characteristics of finish materials to <br />ensure use of compatible primers. <br />1. Notify the Architect about anticipated problems using the materials specified over substrates primed by <br />others. <br />3.2 PREPARATION <br />A. General: Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting fixtures, and similar <br />items already installed that are not to be painted or provide surface-applied protection prior to surface <br />preparation and painting. Remove these items, if necessary, to completely paint the items and adjacent <br />surfaces. Following completion of painting operations in each space or area, have items reinstalled by workers <br />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 surfaces. <br />C. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to the manufacturer’s instructions for <br />each particular substrate condition and as specified. <br />1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime. Notify Architect in writing <br />about anticipated problems using the specified finish-coat material with substrates primed by others. <br />2. Cementitious Materials: Prepare concrete, concrete masonry block, cement plaster, and mineral-fiber- <br />reinforced cement panel surfaces to be painted. Remove efflorescence, chalk, dust, dirt, grease, oils, <br />and release agents. Roughen, as required, to remove glaze. If hardeners or sealers have been used to <br />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 are <br />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 manufacturer’s <br />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 imperfections in <br />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, faces, <br />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 construction <br />occurs on backside. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 186E0FF8-664C-4A5C-9F97-28196CE69FD1
