	PART 3	EXECUTION
	3.1	EXAMINATION
		A.	Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
		B.	Ensure that surfaces to receive paint are dry immediately prior to application.
		C.	Ensure that moisture-retaining substrates to receive paint have moisture content within tolerances allowed by coating manufacturer. Where exceeding the following values, promptly notify Architect and obtain direction before beginning work.
			1.	Concrete and Masonry: 13 percent. Allow new concrete to cure a minimum of 28 days.
			2.	Exterior Wood: 17 percent.
			3.	Interior Wood: 15 percent.
			4.	Interior Finish Detail Woodwork, Including Trim, and Casework: 10 percent.
			5.	Concrete Slab-On-Grade: Perform calcium chloride test over 24 hour period or other acceptable test to manufacturer. Verify acceptable moisture transmission and pH levels.
		D.	Examine surfaces to receive coatings for surface imperfections and contaminants that could impair performance or appearance of coatings, including but not limited to, loose primer, rust, scale, oil, grease, mildew, algae, or fungus, stains or marks, cracks, indentations, or abrasions.
		E.	Correct conditions that could impair performance or appearance of coatings in accordance with specified surface preparation procedures before proceeding with coating application.
	3.2	PREPARATION - GENERAL
		A.	Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to coating application.
		B.	Do not start work until surfaces to be finished are in proper condition to produce finished surfaces of uniform, satisfactory appearance.
		C.	Stains and Marks: Remove completely, if possible, using materials and methods recommended by coating manufacturer; cover stains and marks which cannot be completely removed with isolating primer or sealer recommended by coating manufacturer to prevent bleed-through.
		D.	Remove Mildew, Algae, and Fungus using materials and methods recommended by coating manufacturer.
		E.	Remove dust and loose particulate matter from surfaces to receive coatings immediately prior to coating application.
		F.	Remove or protect adjacent hardware, electrical equipment plates, mechanical grilles and louvers, lighting fixture trim, and other items not indicated to receive coatings.
		G.	Move or protect equipment and fixtures adjacent to surfaces indicated to receive coatings to allow application of coatings.
		H.	Protect adjacent surfaces not indicated to receive coatings.
		I.	Prepare surfaces in accordance with manufacturer's instructions for specified coatings and indicated materials, using only methods and materials recommended by coating manufacturer.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Retain only substrates found on this project and delete all others. Substrates are listed alphabetically. If a substrate on the project is not listed in this section, contact Benjamin Moore for acceptability and recommended paint type.
	3.3	SURFACE PREPARATION
		A.	Concrete and Concrete Masonry: Clean surfaces free of loose particles, sand, efflorescence, laitance, form oil, curing compounds, and other substances which could impair coating performance or appearance.
		B.	Concrete Floors: Remove contaminants which could impair coating performance or appearance. Verify moisture transmission and alkaline-acid balance recommended by coating manufacturer; mechanically abrade surface to achieve 80-100 grit medium-sandpaper texture.
		C.	Existing Coatings:
			1.	Remove surface irregularities by scraping or sanding to produce uniform substrate for coating application; apply one coat primer of type recommended by coating manufacturer for maximum coating adhesion.
			2.	If presence of lead in existing coatings is suspected, cease surface preparation and notify Architect immediately.
		D.	Masonry Surfaces - Restored: Remove loose particles, sand, efflorescence, laitance, cleaning compounds and other substances that could impair coating performance or appearance.
		E.	Metals - Aluminum, Mill-Finish: Clean and etch surfaces with a phosphoric acid-water solution or water based industrial cleaner. Flush with clean water and allow to dry, before applying primer coat.
		F.	Metals - Copper: Clean surfaces with pressurized steam, pressurized water, or solvent washing.
		G.	Metals - Ferrous, Unprimed: Remove rust or scale, if present, by wire brush cleaning, power tool cleaning, or sandblast cleaning; remove grease, oil, and other contaminants which could impair coating performance or appearance by solvent cleaning, with phosphoric-acid solution cleaning of welds, bolts and nuts; spot-prime repaired welds with specified primer.
		H.	Metals - Ferrous, Shop-Primed: Remove loose primer and rust, if present, by scraping and sanding, feathering edges of cleaned areas to produce uniform flat surface; solvent-clean surfaces and spot-prime bare metal with specified primer, feathering edges to produce uniform flat surface.
		I.	Metals - Galvanized Steel (not passivated): Clean with a water-based industrial strength cleaner, apply an adhesion promoter followed by a clean water rinse. Alternately, wipe down surfaces using clean, lint-free cloths saturated with xylene or lacquer thinner; followed by wiping the surface dry using clean, lint-free cloths.
		J.	Metals - Galvanized Steel, Passivated: Clean with water-based industrial strength cleaner. After the surface has been prepared, apply recommended primer to a small area. Allow primer to cure for 7 days, and test adhesion using the "cross-hatch adhesion tape test" method in accordance with ASTM D 3359. If the adhesion of the primer is positive, proceed with a recommended coating system for galvanized metal.
		K.	Metals - Stainless Steel: Clean surfaces with pressurized steam, pressurized water, or water-based industrial cleaner.
		L.	Wood:
			1.	Seal knots, pitch streaks, and sap areas with sealer recommended by coating manufacturer; fill nail recesses and cracks with filler recommended by coating manufacturer; sand surfaces smooth.
			2.	Apply primer coat to back of wood trim and paneling.
	3.4	APPLICATION - GENERAL
		A.	Apply each coat to uniform coating thickness in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, not exceeding manufacturer's specified maximum spread rate for indicated surface; thins, brush marks, roller marks, orange-peel, or other application imperfections are not permitted.
		B.	Allow manufacturer's specified drying time, and ensure correct coating adhesion, for each coat before applying next coat.
		C.	Inspect each coat before applying next coat; touch-up surface imperfections with coating material, feathering, and sanding if required; touch-up areas to achieve flat, uniform surface without surface defects visible from 5 feet (1.5 m).
		D.	Remove dust and other foreign materials from substrate immediately prior to applying each coat.
		E.	Where application abuts other materials or other coating color, terminate coating with a clean sharp termination line without coating overlap.
		F.	Where color changes occur between adjoining spaces, through framed openings that are of same color as adjoining surfaces, change color at outside stop corner nearest to face of closed door.
		G.	Re-prepare and re-coat unsatisfactory finishes; refinish entire area to corners or other natural terminations.
	3.5	CLEANING
		A.	Clean excess coating materials, and coating materials deposited on surfaces not indicated to receive coatings, as construction activities of this section progress; do not allow to dry.
		B.	Re-install hardware, electrical equipment plates, mechanical grilles and louvers, lighting fixture trim, and other items that have been removed to protect from contact with coatings.
		C.	Reconnect equipment adjacent to surfaces indicated to receive coatings.
		D.	Relocate to original position equipment and fixtures that have been moved to allow application of coatings.
		E.	Remove protective materials.
	3.6	PROTECTION
		A.	Protect completed coating applications from damage by subsequent construction activities.
		B.	Repair to Architect's acceptance coatings damaged by subsequent construction activities. Where repairs cannot be made to Architect's acceptance, re-apply finish coating to nearest adjacent change of surface plane, in both horizontal and vertical directions.
