PART 3 - EXECUTION <br /> 3 . 1 EXAMINATION <br /> A. Examine substrates and conditions, with Applicator present, for compliance with requirements for <br /> maximum moisture content and other conditions affecting performance of work. <br /> B . Maximum Moisture Content of Substrates : When measured with an electronic moisture meter as follows : <br /> 1 . Concrete: 12 percent. <br /> 2 . Cement Plaster: 12 percent. <br /> C. Verify suitability of substrates, including surface conditions and compatibility with existing finishes and <br /> primers . <br /> D . Begin coating application only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected and surfaces are dry. <br /> 1 . Beginning coating application constitutes Contractor's acceptance of substrates and conditions . <br /> 3 .2 PREPARATION <br /> A. Comply with manufacturer's written instructions and recommendations in "MPI Architectural Painting <br /> Specification Manual" applicable to substrates and paint systems indicated. <br /> B . Remove plates, machined surfaces, and similar items already in place that are not to be painted. If <br /> removal is impractical or impossible because of size or weight of item, provide surface-applied protection <br /> before surface preparation and painting. <br /> 1 . After completing painting operations, use workers skilled in the trades involved to reinstall items <br /> that were removed. Remove surface-applied protection if any. <br /> 2 . Do not paint over labels of independent testing agencies or equipment name, identification, <br /> performance rating, or nomenclature plates . <br /> C. Clean substrates of substances that could impair bond of paints, including dirt, oil, grease, <br /> and <br /> incompatible paints and encapsulants . <br /> 1 . Remove incompatible primers and reprime substrate with compatible primers as required to <br /> produce paint systems indicated. <br /> D . Concrete Substrates : Remove release agents, curing compounds, efflorescence, and chalk. Do not paint <br /> surfaces if moisture content or alkalinity of surfaces to be painted exceeds that permitted <br /> in <br /> manufacturer's written instructions . <br /> E. Plaster Substrates : Do not begin paint application until plaster is fully cured and dry. <br /> 3 .3 APPLICATION <br /> A. Apply paints according to manufacturer' s written instructions . <br /> 1 . Use applicators and techniques suited for paint and substrate indicated. <br /> 2 . Paint surfaces behind movable items same as similar exposed surfaces. Before final installation, <br /> paint surfaces behind permanently fixed items with prime coat only. <br /> Wabasso Beach Park Revised 01/08/08 <br /> Indian River County 09911 - 4 <br /> DAA Project No. 6008 <br />
