PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1EXAMINATION

  1. Examine substrates and conditions, with Applicator present, for compliance with requirements for maximum moisture content and other conditions affecting performance of the Work.
  2. Maximum Moisture Content of Substrates: When measured with an electronic moisture meter as follows:

Percentages in six subparagraphs below are based on "MPI Manual."

  1. Concrete: 12 percent.
  2. Fiber-Cement Board: 12 percent.
  3. Masonry (Clay and CMUs): 12 percent.
  4. Wood: 15 percent.
  5. Gypsum Board: 12 percent.
  6. Plaster: 12 percent.
  1. Gypsum Board Substrates: Verify that finishing compound is sanded smooth.
  2. Plaster Substrates: Verify that plaster is fully cured.
  3. Spray-Textured Ceiling Substrates: Verify that surfaces are dry.
  4. Verify suitability of substrates, including surface conditions and compatibility, with existing finishes and primers.
  5. Proceed with coating application only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.
  6. Application of coating indicates acceptance of surfaces and conditions.

3.2PREPARATION

For renovation projects, consult "MPI Maintenance Repainting Manual" and revise first paragraph below and paint systems specified in the Interior Painting Schedule.

  1. Comply with manufacturer's written instructions and recommendations in "MPI Architectural Painting Specification Manual" applicable to substrates and paint systems indicated.
  2. Remove hardware, covers, plates, and similar items already in place that are removable and are not to be painted. If removal is impractical or impossible because of size or weight of item, provide surface-applied protection before surface preparation and painting.
  3. After completing painting operations, use workers skilled in the trades involved to reinstall items that were removed. Remove surface-applied protection if any.
  4. Clean substrates of substances that could impair bond of paints, including dust, dirt, oil, grease, and incompatible paints and encapsulants.

Coordination of shop-applied prime coats with topcoats is critical.

  1. Remove incompatible primers and reprime substrate with compatible primers or apply tie coat as required to produce paint systems indicated.
  1. Concrete Substrates: Remove release agents, curing compounds, efflorescence, and chalk. Do not paint surfaces if moisture content or alkalinity of surfaces to be painted exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.
  2. Masonry Substrates: Remove efflorescence and chalk. Do not paint surfaces if moisture content or alkalinity of surfaces or mortar joints exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.

Retain "Steel Substrates" Paragraph below if steel is not shop primed or if shop primer is removed in the field.

  1. Steel Substrates: Remove rust, loose mill scale, and shop primer, if any. Clean using methods recommended in writing by paint manufacturer[.] [but not less than the following:]

Usually retain one of first two subparagraphs below. SSPC-SP2 and SSPC-SP3 remove loose rust, mill scale, and paint. SSPC-SP2 is minimum surface preparation accepted by AISC for painted steel.

  1. SSPC-SP2.
  2. SSPC-SP3.

SSPC-SP7/NACENo.4 permits tight residues of rust, mill scale, and coatings to remain. Be aware that blast cleaning methods may not be practical for use at Project site and may not be allowed by authorities having jurisdiction.

  1. SSPC-SP7/NACENo.4.

SSPC-SP11 requires complete removal of rust, mill scale, and paint by power tools. SSPC-SP11 uses nonabrasive methods and is more thorough than SSPC-SP2, SSPC-SP3, and SSPC-SP7/NACENo.4.

  1. SSPC-SP11.

Retain "Shop-Primed Steel Substrates" Paragraph below if primers are shop applied and are not removed in the field.

  1. Shop-Primed Steel Substrates: Clean field welds, bolted connections, and areas where shop paint is abraded. Paint exposed areas with the same material as used for shop priming to comply with SSPC-PA1 for touching up shop-primed surfaces.

Galvanized-metal substrates should not be chromate passivated if primers are field applied. If galvanized metal is chromate passivated, consult manufacturers for appropriate surface preparation and primers.

  1. Galvanized-Metal Substrates: Remove grease and oil residue from galvanized sheet metal by mechanical methods to produce clean, lightly etched surfaces that promote adhesion of subsequently applied paints.
  2. Aluminum Substrates: Remove loose surface oxidation.
  3. Wood Substrates:
  4. Scrape and clean knots, and apply coat of knot sealer before applying primer.
  5. Sand surfaces that will be exposed to view, and dust off.
  6. Prime edges, ends, faces, undersides, and backsides of wood.
  7. After priming, fill holes and imperfections in the finish surfaces with putty or plastic wood filler. Sand smooth when dried.
  8. Cotton or Canvas Insulation Covering Substrates: Remove dust, dirt, and other foreign material that might impair bond of paints to substrates.

3.3APPLICATION

  1. Apply paints according to manufacturer's written instructions and to recommendations in "MPI Manual."

If Project requires restricted application method (e.g., using only spray or rollers), revise first subparagraph below accordingly.
