Page 6 of 8 PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 EXAMINATION A. General: Examine surfaces to receive paint finish for conditions that will adversely affect execution, performance, or quality of work and which cannot be put into an acceptable condition through reasonable preparatory work as specified herein. 1. Surfaces which are unfit to receive the work of this section shall be repaired, replaced or re-finished such that they are acceptable and such that the work of this section may be done as specified. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that these provisions are strictly enforced. 2. Commencement of Work constitutes acceptance of surfaces and conditions. B. Concrete and Masonry: 1. Alkali Content Testing: Test for alkalinity by performing appropriate tests, and neutralize as required for ph reading between 6.8 and 8.0, unless otherwise recommended by paint manufacturer. Test for ph following test method as described in ASTM D4262, utilizing litmus paper. 2. Moisture Content Testing: Test for moisture content by performing appropriate tests. Maximum moisture content shall not exceed 17 percent as determined by a moisture meter, unless otherwise required by paint manufacturer. 3.2 SURFACE PREPARATION (GENERAL) A. General: Surface preparations and cleaning procedures shall be in strict accordance with the instructions and specifications of the paint manufacturer and with the requirements herein. B. Painting of Factory-Primed Door Hardware: Prior to painting, mask all operating parts so that item works freely after paint is dry. Remove allexcess paint from operating parts and clean and free-up the operation of all parts which do not operate smoothly due to the painting operation. 3.3 SURFACE PREPARATION A. Uncoated Ferrous Metal: Thoroughly degrease surfaces using solvent (SSPC-SP 1) and remove rust and foreign matter by scraping, sanding, wire brushing, or other abrasion methods as necessary in accordance with SSPC-SP 2 and SSPC-SP 3. Remove pits and clean to bright metal before priming. Apply primer on the same day. B. Shop-Coated Ferrous Metal: Thoroughly degrease surfaces and clean using solvent (SSPC-SP 1). Remove loose rust, blistered and peeling paint to bare metal by scraping, sanding, wire brushing, or other abrasion methods in accordance with SSPC-SP 2 or SP 3; feather edges of adjacent sound paint. Dull glossy surfaces by scuff-sanding and wipe down. Spot-prime all abraded portions, rust areas, and bare surfaces with specified primer on same day. C. Galvanized Metal (Unpainted): Clean surfaces, wash and etch, to remove factory films and oily residue as recommended by the paint manufacturer. Responsibility for insuring that the surface is properly prepared rests with the painting Subcontractor. Clean galvanized metal the same day to be painted. If a pretreatment wash primer is recommended by manufacturer, apply pretreatment not more than 8 hours in advance of applying primer.
Page 7 of 8 D. Concrete: Clean surfaces free from dirt, grease, oil, efflorescence, and other foreign substances. Remove mortar droppings, glaze, and scale. 3.4 CLEANING PRIOR TO PAINTING A. Remove dust and loose deleterious materials from all surfaces before beginning painting operations. Program the cleaning and painting so that dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall in wet, newly painted surfaces. 3.5 APPLICATION OF PAINT A. Mixing: Mix paint materials in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and directions. Mix often enough during application to keep the paint uniform and to ensure complete dispersion of pigment and a uniform composition. 1. Prepare multiple component coatings using all of the contents of the container for each component as packaged by the manufacturer. Mixing of partial kits will not be permitted. Multiple component coatings that have been mixed shall not be used beyond their pot life. Only the components specified and furnished by the manufacturer, including thinner if required, shall be mixed. B. Application: Apply paint in accordance with the manufacturer's directions. Use techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied. Brushes and rollers shall be of a type best suited for the type of material being applied. 1. Apply intermediate and finish coats within the manufacturer's recommended top coating time periods. C. Apply each coat of paint as a continuous film of uniform thickness, free from holidays, sags, crawls, pinholes, blisters, unevenness in color, or other evidence of poor workmanship. Repaint thin spots or areas missed in the application and allow to dry before applying next coat of paint. 1. Give special attention to ensure that surfaces, such as edges, corners, crevices, welds and exposed fasteners receive a dry film thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces. 2. Each coat shall be free of dirt, dust, moisture, and other contaminates prior to application of next coat. D. Allow each coat of paint to thoroughly dry, full thickness of the film, before application of the succeeding coat. Paint is considered dry for recoating when the next coat can be applied without the development of all detrimental film irregularities such as wrinkling, lifting, or loss of adhesion of the previous coat. E. Coverage for each paint material is specified as either the total minimum dry film thickness in mils, or the spreading rate in square feet per gallon over the surface designated. Actual coverage rate will vary depending upon the texture and porosity of the surface, and climatic conditions. 1. The number of coats specified is the minimum required, irrespective of the coating thickness. 2. In the event the required paint thickness is not achieved, or coating shows through, apply additional coats until the color appearance is uniform and required thickness is obtained. Cost for additional coats to prevent show through shall be borne by the Installer.
Page 8 of 8 3. Do not exceed manufacturer's recommended maximum film build-up per coat (wet mils). F. Make edges of paint adjoining other materials or colors clean and sharp with no overlapping. G. Do not paint over code-required labels or equipment identification or nomenclature plates. 3.6 DAMAGED PAINT SURFACES A. General: Before final acceptance of the work by the Engineer, repair or re-finish painted surfaces which have been damaged at no additional cost. B. Areas of chipped, peeled, or abraded paint shall be hand or power sanded, feathering the edges. Prime and finish coat the areas using the same material as originally scheduled. Depending on the extent of repair and its appearance, an overall finish coat may be required by the Engineer to achieve uniform appearance. 3.7 CLEAN-UP A. General: During the progress of the work, remove from the project all discarded paint materials, rubbish, cans and rags. Leave premises clean and in orderly condition. B. Cleaning: Upon completion of painting work, clean window glass and other paintspattered surfaces. Remove spattered paint by proper methods of washing and scraping, using care not to scratch or otherwise damage finished surfaces. 3.8 PAINT SCHEDULE - EXTERIOR SURFACES A. Typical Exposed Concrete (other than bridge soffit). Waterborne acrylic stain. 1. Primer: None required. 2. Two Finish Coats: Waterborne acrylic stain. END OF SECTION 09 90 00
