PART 33 EXECUTION

33.1 EXAMINATION

A. Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.

B. If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of

unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.

C. Coordination of Work: Review other Sections in which primers are provided to ensure
compatibility of the total system for various substrates. On request, furnish information on
characteristics of finish materials to ensure use of compatible primers.
1. Notify Architect about anticipated problems when using the materials specified over
substrates primed by others.
2. If a potential incompatibility of primers applied by others exists, obtain the following
from the primer Applicator before proceeding:
a. Confirmation of primer's suitability for expected service conditions.
b. Confirmation of primer's ability to be top coated with materials specified.

33.2 PREPARATION

A. General: Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting
fixtures, and similar items already installed that are not to be painted. If removal is
impractical or impossible because of size or weight of the item, provide surface-applied
protection before surface preparation and painting.
1. After completing painting operations in each space or area, reinstall items removed
using workers skilled in the trades involved.

B. Cleaning: Before applying paint or other surface treatments, clean substrates of substances
that could impair bond of the various coatings. Remove oil and grease before cleaning.
1. Schedule cleaning and painting so dust and other contaminants from the cleaning
process will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.

C. Surface Preparation: Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted according to manufacturer's

written instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified.
1. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime.
2. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove primers and reprime
substrate.
3. Cementitious Substrates: Prepare concrete, brick, concrete masonry block, and
cement plaster surfaces to be coated. Remove efflorescence, chalk, dust, dirt, grease,
oils, and release agents. Roughen as required to remove glaze. If hardeners or
sealers have been used to improve curing, use mechanical methods to prepare
surfaces.
a. Use abrasive blast-cleaning methods if recommended by coating manufacturer.
b. Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate
tests. If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause the finish paint to blister and
burn, correct this condition before application. Do not coat surfaces if moisture
content exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's written instructions.
4. Wood Substrates: Clean surfaces of dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with
scrapers, mineral spirits, and sandpaper, as required. Smoothly sand surfaces
exposed to view and dust off.
a. Scrape and clean small, dry, seasoned knots, and apply a thin coat of white
shellac or other recommended knot sealer, before applying primer.
b. Immediately on delivery, prime edges, ends, faces, undersides, and backsides
of wood to be coated.
c. After priming, fill holes and imperfections in the finish surfaces with putty or
plastic wood filler. Sand smooth when dried.
5. Ferrous Metal Substrates: Clean ungalvanized ferrous-metal surfaces that have not
been shop coated; remove oil, grease, dirt, loose mill scale, and other foreign
substances. Use solvent or mechanical cleaning methods that comply with SSPC
recommendations.
a. Blast-clean steel surfaces as recommended by coating manufacturer and
according to SSPC-SP 10.
b. Treat bare and sandblasted or pickled clean metal with a metal treatment wash
coat before priming.
c. Touch up bare areas and shop-applied prime coats that have been damaged.
Wire brush, solvent clean, and touch up with same primer as the shop coat.
6. Nonferrous-Metal Substrates: Clean nonferrous and galvanized surfaces according to
manufacturer's written instructions for the type of service, metal substrate, and
application required.
a. Remove pretreatment from galvanized sheet metal fabricated from coil stock by
mechanical methods.
 D. Material Preparation: Carefully mix and prepare coating materials according to
manufacturer's written instructions.
1. Maintain containers used in mixing and applying coatings in a clean condition, free of
foreign materials and residue.
2. Stir materials before applying to produce a mixture of uniform density. Stir as required
during application. Do not stir surface film into the material. Remove film and, if
necessary, strain coating material before using.
3. Use only the type of thinners approved by manufacturer and only within
recommended limits.
4. Tinting: Tint each undercoat a lighter shade to simplify identification of each coat
when multiple coats of same material are applied. Tint undercoats to match the color
of the finish coat, but provide sufficient differences in shade of undercoats to
distinguish each separate coat.

33.3 APPLICATION

A. General: Apply paint according to manufacturer's written instructions. Use applicators and
techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied.

B. General: Apply high-performance coatings according to manufacturer's written instructions.

1. Use applicators and techniques best suited for the material being applied.
2. Do not apply high-performance coatings over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture,
scuffed surfaces, or conditions detrimental to forming a durable coating film.
3. Coating surface treatments, and finishes are indicated in the coating system
descriptions.
4. Provide finish coats compatible with primers used.
5. The term "exposed surfaces" includes areas visible when permanent or built-in
fixtures, convector covers, grilles, covers for finned-tube radiation, and similar
components are in place. Extend coatings in these areas, as required, to maintain
system integrity and provide desired protection.

C. Application Procedures: Apply coatings by brush, roller, spray, or other applicators

according to manufacturer's written instructions.
1. The number of coats and film thickness required is the same regardless of application
method.
2. Completed Work: Match approved Samples for color, texture, and coverage.
Remove, refinish, or recoat work that does not comply with specified requirements.

33.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

A. Owner reserves the right to invoke the following test procedure at any time and as often as
Owner deems necessary during the period when paint is being applied:
1. Owner will engage a qualified independent testing agency to sample paint material
being used. Samples of material delivered to Project will be taken, identified, sealed,
and certified in the presence of Contractor.
2. Owner may direct Contractor to stop painting if test results show material being used
does not comply with specified requirements. Contractor shall remove noncomplying
paint from Project site, pay for testing, and repaint surfaces previously coated with the
noncomplying paint. If necessary, Contractor may be required to remove
noncomplying paint from previously painted surfaces if, on repainting with specified
paint, the two coatings are incompatible.

33.5 CLEANING

A. After completing painting, clean glass and paint spattered surfaces. Remove spattered paint
by washing and scraping without scratching or damaging adjacent finished surfaces.

33.6 PROTECTION

A. Protect work of other trades, whether being painted or not, against damage from painting.
