APPLICATION Coating Application

Apply coating materials in accordance with SSPC PA 1. SSPC PA 1methods are applicable to all substrates, except as modified herein. Thoroughly work coating materials into joints, crevices, and open spaces. Touch up damaged coatings before applying subsequent coats. Interior areas shall be broom clean and dust free before and during the application of coating material. Apply paint to new fire extinguishing sprinkler systems including valves, piping, conduit, hangers, supports, miscellaneous metal work, and accessories. Shield sprinkler heads with protective coverings while painting is in progress. Remove sprinkler heads which have been painted and replace with new sprinkler heads. For piping in unfinished spaces, provide primed surfaces with one coat of red alkyd gloss enamel to a minimum dry film thickness of 1.0 mil. Unfinished spaces include attic spaces, spaces above suspended ceilings, crawl spaces, pipe chases, mechanical equipment room, and space where walls or ceiling are not painted or not constructed of a prefinished material. For piping in finished areas, provide prime surfaces with two coats of paint to match adjacent surfaces, except provide valves and operating accessories with one coat of red alkyd gloss enamel. Upon completion of painting, remove protective covering from sprinkler heads. a. Drying Time: Allow time between coats, as recommended by the coating manufacturer, to permit thorough drying, but not to present topcoat adhesion problems. Provide each coat in specified condition to receive next coat. Primers, and Intermediate Coats: Do not allow primers or intermediate coats to dry more than 30 days, or longer than recommended by manufacturer, before applying subsequent coats. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for surface preparation if primers or intermediate coats are allowed to dry longer than recommended by manufacturers of subsequent coatings. Each coat shall cover surface of preceding coat or surface completely, and there shall be a visually perceptible difference in shades of successive coats. Finished Surfaces: Provide finished surfaces free from runs, drops, ridges, waves, laps, brush marks, and variations in colors. Thermosetting Paints: Topcoats over thermosetting paints (epoxies and urethanes) should be applied while the intermediate coat is still tacky, within a few days. Otherwise, apply a mist-coat of 1 to 2 wet mils of MIL-DTL-24441/29 and allow to cure to tack, a minimum of 4 hours, before topcoating.

Equipment

Apply coatings with approved brushes, approved rollers, or approved spray equipment, unless specified otherwise. Spray areas made inaccessible to brushing by items such as ducts and other equipment. 3.6.3 Thinning of Paints

Reduce paints to proper consistency by adding fresh paint, except when thinning is mandatory for the type of paint being used. Obtain written SECTION 09900 Page 9

permission from the Contracting Officer to use thinners. The written permission shall include quantities and types of thinners to use. 3.6.4 Coating Systems a. Systems by Substrates: Apply coatings that conform to the respective specifications listed in the following Tables: Table 1 2 3 4 5 b. Exterior Interior Building Exterior Interior Metal Surfaces Metal Surfaces Systems Surfaces: Interior and Exterior Concrete and Asbestos-Cement Surfaces Concrete and Wallboard Surfaces

Minimum Dry Film Thickness (DFT): Apply paints, primers, varnishes, enamels, undercoats, and other coatings to a minimum dry film thickness of 1.5 mil each coat unless specified otherwise in the Tables. Coating thickness where specified, refers to the minimum dry film thickness. The DFT range specified for MIL-C-24667 represents minimum peak and valley measurements. Coatings for Surfaces Not Specified Otherwise: Coat surfaces which have not been specified, the same as surfaces having similar conditions of exposure. Existing Surfaces Damaged During Performance of the Work, Including New Patches In Existing Surfaces: Coat surfaces with the following: (1) (2) (3) One coat of primer. One coat of undercoat or intermediate coat. One topcoat to match adjacent surfaces.

Existing Coated Surfaces To Be Painted: Apply coatings conforming to the respective specifications listed in the Tables herein, except that pretreatments, sealers and fillers need not be provided on surfaces where existing coatings are soundly adhered and in good condition. Do not omit undercoats or primers.

COATING SYSTEMS FOR METAL a. Primer: Apply specified ferrous metal primer on the same day that surface is cleaned. If flash rusting occurs, re-clean the surface prior to application of primer. (1) Inaccessible Surfaces: Prior to erection, use two coats of specified primer on metal surfaces that will be inaccessible after erection. (2) Shop-primed Surfaces: Touch up exposed substrates and damaged coatings to protect from rusting prior to applying
