than 4 hours after step 1.2.
2.2 Painting shall not be performed if the substrate temperature is less than the surrounding
air temperature or relative humidity is greater than 85% or if the air temperature is not
greater than 5-degree F above the dew point.
2.3 Apply repair paint in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
2.4 Repair paint must be within manufacturer’s shelf life.
