PART 3.00 - EXECUTION
3.01
EXAMINATION AND PREPARATION OF SURFACES:
A.
EXAMINATION OF SURFACES: The painting contractor shall examine all
surfaces that are to be painted, work conditions under which painting work
must be accomplished, and any other conditions affecting the proper painting
of all work. Report to the Engineer any and all conditions which adversely
affect the work and thereby preclude a high quality job of painting and finishing.
No "waiver of responsibility" for incomplete, inadequate or defective underlying
or adjoining work will be considered by the Engineer unless notice of such
unsatisfactory conditions has been filed and agreed to, in writing, by the
Engineer before the painting work begins. Application of first field coat on any
surface shall be construed as evidence that the surfaces are acceptable to the
painting contractor as being in proper condition for application of paint under
this Section. Where there is any question of dryness of surfaces, test surfaces
in the presence of the Engineer.
B.
GENERAL PREPARATION OF ALL SURFACES: All surfaces shall be
cleaned and prepared in strict accordance with the paint system
manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. Immediately prior to paint
application, all surfaces shall be made perfectly clean, dry, smooth and free of
all dust, dirt, grease, oil, mildew, splinters, rust, scale and other extraneous
matter which might adversely affect the finished work. All surface defects shall
be corrected prior to painting. Oil and grease shall be removed with solvent
intended for such purpose. Loose scale and rust shall be removed by

scraping, wire brushing or sand blasting. Rough areas and spots in smooth
surfaces shall be sanded and rubbed smooth to match adjacent areas.
Enamel undercoats shall be sanded smooth after the undercoats are dry and
prior to recoating. All holes, cracks and blemishes shall be filled with
appropriate putty, filler, caulking or spackling compound after application of
prime coat has become hard and dry and before second coat is applied. All
abraded areas in shop applied prime coats shall be touched-up with matching
primer. Apply appropriate barrier coating over any shop primed surfaces that
are incompatible with the field paint system specified. Remove electrical
switch plates, receptacle plates and exterior door hardware prior to painting.
Replace such items after completion of painting in each area with skilled
mechanics.

ADDITIONAL PREPARATION OF FERROUS METAL SURFACES: Clean
unprimed ferrous metal surfaces including bolts, nuts, washers and welds to
bare metal with wire brush and appropriate solvent. Apply field prime coat to
such items. Remove defective shop prime coats and field prime where
