3.3 Preparation.
3.3.1 General Procedures.
3.3.1.1 Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting fixtures, and similar items in place that are not to be painted, or provide surface-applied protection prior to surface preparation and painting. Remove these items if necessary for complete painting of the items and adjacent surfaces.
3.3.1.2 Clean surfaces before applying paint or surface treatments. Remove oil and grease prior to cleaning. Schedule cleaning and painting so that dust and other contaminants from the cleaning process will not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces.
3.3.1.3 Following completion of painting operations in each space or area, have items reinstalled by workers skilled in the trades involved.
3.3.2 Surface Preparation. Clean and prepare surfaces to be painted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for each particular substrate condition and as specified.
3.3.2.1 Compatibility. Provide barrier coats over incompatible primers or remove and reprime. Notify the APS Contract Coordinator in writing of problems anticipated with using the specified finish-coat material with substrates primed by others.
3.3.2.2 Cementitious Materials. Prepare concrete and concrete masonry block surfaces to be painted. 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 of surface preparation.
3.3.2.2.1 Use abrasive blast-cleaning methods if recommended by the paint manufacturer.
3.3.2.2.2 Determine alkalinity and moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate tests. If surfaces are sufficiently alkaline to cause blistering and burning of finish paint, correct this condition before application. Do not paint surfaces where moisture content exceeds that permitted in manufacturer's printed directions.
3.3.2.3 Wood. Clean surfaces of dirt, oil, and other foreign substances with scrapers, mineral spirits, and sandpaper, as required. Sand surfaces exposed to view smooth and dust off.
3.3.2.3.1 Scrape and clean small, dry, seasoned knots and apply a thin coat of white shellac or other recommended knot sealer before application of primer. After priming, fill holes and imperfections in finish surfaces with putty or plastic wood filler. Sand smooth when dried.
3.3.2.3.2 Prime or seal wood to be painted immediately upon delivery. Prime edges, ends, faces, undersides, and backsides of wood.
3.3.2.3.3 Back prime wood panels on interior partitions where masonry or other wet wall construction occurs on backside.
3.3.2.4 Ferrous Metals. Clean non galvanized 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 recommendations of the Steel Structures Painting Council.
3.3.2.4.1 Blast steel surfaces clean as recommended by the paint system manufacturer and in accordance with requirements of SSPC SP-6.
3.3.2.4.2 Treat bare and sandblasted or pickled clean metal with a metal treatment wash coat before priming.
3.3.2.4.3 Touch up bare areas and shop-applied prime coats that have been damaged. Wire-brush, clean with solvents recommended by the paint manufacturer, and touch up with the same primer as the shop coat.
3.3.2.5 Galvanized Surfaces. Clean galvanized surfaces with non petroleum-based solvents so that the surface is free of oil and surface contaminants. Remove pretreatment from galvanized sheet metal fabricated from coil stock by mechanical methods.
3.3.3 Materials Preparation. Carefully mix and prepare paint materials in accordance with manufacturer's directions.
3.3.3.1 Maintain containers used in mixing and application of paint in a clean condition, free of foreign materials and residue.
3.3.3.2 Stir material before application to produce a mixture of uniform density. Stir as required during application. Do not stir surface film into material. Remove film and, if necessary, strain material before using.
3.3.3.3 Use only thinners approved by the paint manufacturer, and only within recommended limits.
3.3.4 Tinting. Tint each undercoat a lighter shade to facilitate identification of each coat where multiple coats of the 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.
3.4.1 General.
3.4.1.1 Apply paint in accordance with manufacturer's directions. Use applicators and techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied.
3.4.1.2 Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed surfaces, or conditions detrimental to formation of a durable paint film.
3.4.1.3 Paint colors, surface treatments, and finishes are indicated in schedules.
3.4.1.4 Provide finish coats that are compatible with primers used.
3.4.1.5 The number of coats and film thickness required is the same regardless of the application method. Do not apply succeeding coats until the previous coat has cured as recommended by the manufacturer. Sand between applications where sanding is required to produce an even smooth surface in accordance with the manufacturer's directions.
3.4.1.6 Apply additional coats when undercoats, stains, or other conditions show through final coat of paint until paint film is of uniform finish, color, and appearance. Give special attention to ensure that surfaces, including edges, corners, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners, receive a dry film thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces.
3.4.1.7 The term "exposed surfaces" includes areas visible when permanent or built-in fixtures, covers, grilles, and similar components are in place. Extend coatings in these areas as required to maintain the system integrity and provide desired protection.
3.4.1.8 Paint surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture same as similar exposed surfaces. Paint surfaces behind permanently fixed equipment or furniture with prime coat only before final installation of equipment.
3.4.1.9 Paint interior surfaces of ducts, where visible through registers or grilles, with a flat, nonspecular black paint.
3.4.1.10 Paint back sides of access panels and removable or hinged covers to match exposed surfaces.
3.4.1.11 Finish exterior doors on tops, bottoms, and side edges same as exterior faces.
3.4.1.12 Sand lightly between each succeeding enamel coat.
3.4.1.13 Omit primer on metal surfaces that have been shop-primed and touch up painted.
3.4.2 Scheduling Painting.
3.4.2.1 Apply first coat to surfaces that have been cleaned, pretreated, or otherwise prepared for painting as soon as practicable after preparation and before subsequent surface deterioration.
3.4.2.2 Allow sufficient time between successive coats to permit proper drying. Do not recoat until paint has dried to where it feels firm, and does not deform or feel sticky under moderate thumb pressure and where application of another coat of paint does not cause lifting or loss of adhesion of the undercoat.
3.4.3 Minimum Coating Thickness. Apply materials at not less than the manufacturer's recommended spreading rate. Provide a total dry film thickness of the entire system as recommended by the manufacturer.
3.4.4 Mechanical and Electrical Work. Painting mechanical and electrical work is limited to items exposed in mechanical equipment rooms and in occupied spaces. Items listed below do not apply to any equipment which is factory-finished.
3.4.4.1 Mechanical items to be painted include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

3.4.6 Prime Coats. Before application of finish coats, apply a prime coat of material as recommended by the manufacturer to material that is required to be painted or finished and has not been prime coated by others. Recoat primed and sealed surfaces where evidence of suction spots or unsealed areas in first coat appears, to assure a finish coat with no burn through or other defects due to insufficient sealing.
3.4.7 Pigmented (Opaque) Finishes. Completely cover to provide an opaque, smooth surface of uniform finish, color, appearance, and coverage. Cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps, brush marks, runs, sags, ropiness, or other surface imperfections will not be acceptable.
3.4.8 Completed Work. Match approved samples for color, texture, and coverage. Remove, refinish, or repaint work not in compliance with specified requirements.
