PART 3 - EXECUTION

EXAMINATION

Examine substrates and conditions, with Applicator present, for compliance with requirements for maximum moisture content and other conditions affecting performance of work.

Maximum Moisture Content of Substrates: When measured with an electronic moisture meter as follows:

Concrete: 12 percent.

Masonry (Clay and CMU): 12 percent.

Gypsum Board: 12 percent.

Verify suitability of substrates, including surface conditions and compatibility with existing finishes and primers.

Begin coating application only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected and surfaces are dry.

Beginning coating application constitutes Contractor's acceptance of substrates and conditions.

PREPARATION

Comply with manufacturer's written instructions and recommendations in "MPI Architectural Painting Specification Manual" applicable to substrates indicated.

Remove plates, machined surfaces, and similar items already in place that 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.

After completing painting operations, workers skilled in the trades involved reinstalling items that were removed. Remove surface-applied protection if any.

Do not paint over labels of independent testing agencies or equipment name, identification, performance rating, or nomenclature plates.

Clean substrates of substances could impair bonds of paints, including dirt, oil, grease, and incompatible paints and encapsulants.

Remove incompatible primers and reprime substrate with compatible primers as required to produce paint systems indicated.

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.

Concrete Masonry Substrates: Remove 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.

Steel Substrates: Remove rust and loose mill scale. Clean using methods recommended in writing by paint manufacturers.

Galvanized-Metal Substrates: Remove grease and oil residue from galvanized sheet metal fabricated from coil stock by mechanical methods to produce clean, lightly etched surfaces that promote adhesion of subsequently applied paints.

Gypsum Board Substrates: Do not begin paint application until finishing compound is dry and sanded smooth.

APPLICATION

Apply paints according to manufacturer's written instructions.

Use applicators and techniques suited for paint and substrate indicated.

Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture same as similar exposed surfaces.

Before final installation, paint surfaces behind permanently fixed equipment or furniture with prime coat only.

Paint front and backsides of access panels, removable or hinged covers, and similar hinged items to match exposed surfaces.

Tint each undercoat a lighter shade to facilitate identification of each coat if multiple coats of same material are to be applied. Tint undercoats to match color of topcoat but provide sufficient difference in shade of undercoats to distinguish each separate coat.

If undercoats or other conditions show through topcoat, apply additional coats until cured film has a uniform paint finish, color, and appearance.

Apply paints to produce surface films without cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps, brush marks, roller tracking, runs, sags, ropiness, or other surface imperfections. Cut in sharp lines and color breaks.

Painting Mechanical and Electrical Work: Paint items displayed in equipment rooms and occupied spaces including, but not limited to, the following:

Mechanical Work:

Uninsulated metal piping.

Uninsulated plastic piping.

Pipe hangers and supports.

Tanks that do not have factory-applied final finishes.

Visible portions of internal surfaces of metal ducts, without liner, behind air inlets and outlets.

Duct, equipment, and pipe insulation having cotton or canvas insulation covering or other paintable jacket material.

Mechanical equipment that is indicated to have a factory-primed finish for field painting.

Electrical Work:

Switchgear.

Panelboards.

Electrical equipment that is indicated to have a factory-primed finish for field painting.

Paint exposed surfaces, except where Drawings or these Specifications indicate that the surface or material is not to be painted or is to remain natural. If an item or a surface is not specifically mentioned, paint the item or surface the same as similar adjacent materials or surfaces. Refer to Finish Listing for specific paint colors. If a finish color is not indicated, Design Consultant will select from full range of standard colors and finishes available.

Painting shall include identification of fire and smoke partitions. All smoke stops partitions and fire-rated walls or partitions required to have protected openings shall be effectively and permanently identified with signs or stenciling in a manner acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction. Such identification shall be above any decorative ceiling and in concealed spaces. Unless otherwise directed by authority having jurisdiction, wording shall be read "Fire and Smoke Barrier - Protect all Openings".

Do not paint prefinished items, concealed surfaces, finished metal surfaces, operating parts, and labels, unless otherwise indicated.

Prefinished items include the following factory-finished components:

Toilet enclosures.

Elevator entrance doors and frames.

Elevator equipment.

Finished mechanical and electrical equipment, except paint exposed equipment in ceiling areas of exposed structure.

Light fixtures.

Concealed surfaces include walls or ceilings in the following generally inaccessible spaces:

FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

Testing of Paint Materials: Owner reserves the right to invoke the following procedure at any time and as often as Owner's Representative deems necessary during the period when paints are being applied:

Owner may engage the services of a qualified testing agency to sample paint materials being used. Samples of material delivered to Project site will be taken, identified, sealed, and certified in presence of Contractor.

Testing agency will perform tests for compliance with product requirements.

Owner's Representative may direct Contractor to stop applying paints if test results show materials being used do not comply with product requirements. Contractors shall remove noncomplying-paint materials from Project site, pay for testing, and repaint surfaces painted with rejected materials. Contractors will be required to remove rejected materials from previously painted surfaces if, on repainting with complying materials, the two paints are incompatible.

CLEANING AND PROTECTION

At end of each workday, remove rubbish, empty cans, rags, and other discarded materials from Project site.

After completing paint application, clean spattered surfaces. Remove spattered paints by washing, scraping, or other methods. Do not scratch or damage adjacent finished surfaces.

Protect work of other trades against damage from paint application. Correct damage to work of other trades by cleaning, repairing, replacing, and refinishing, as approved by Design Consultant, and leaving in an undamaged condition.

At completion of construction activities of other trades, touch up and restore damaged or defaced painted surfaces.
