handling, storing and applying each material proposed for use in this process.

Manufacturers approved subcontractor shall be engage for the painting works.

6.2 Sample for verification and confirmation

Mock-up of each colour and material to be applied will be prepared for verification and confirmation by
consultant representative. Beside, colour chart indicating list of materials and applications for each coat of each
sample shall be submitted for approval prior to physical works on site.
6.3 Delivery of Paint

Deliver materials to the project site in manufacturers original, unopened packages

and containers

bearing manufacturers name and label. The label or decorated container shall state;
a)

The type of product

b)

The brand name

c)

Code number of paint

d)

The manufacturers batch number

Primer and finish coats

Examine substrates, areas and conditions under which painting will be performed for compliance with
paint application requirements. Paint shall not be applied until unsatisfactory conditions have been
corrected and surfaces receiving paint are thoroughly dry.

Review other section in which primers are provided to ensure compatibility of the total system for
various substrates.

Remove hardware and hardware accessories, plates, machined surfaces, lighting, fixtures and similar
items already installed that are not to be painted. If removal is impractical or impossible because of the
size or weight of the item, surface applied protection shall be provided before surface preparation and
painting. After completing painting operation in each space of area, reinstall items removed using
workers skilled in trades involved.

Cleaning the substrates of substances that could impair the bond of the various coatings. Oil and grease
shall be removed before clearing.

SURFACE PREPARATION OF PLASTERING.ETC.

Cracks and other imperfections are to be pointed or cut and make good.

Determine moisture content of surfaces by performing appropriate test (refer ITP) by the supplier
representative.

SURFACE PREPARATION OF METALWORK.

All dirt and grease is to be removed by wiping or washing.

All rust, scale or loose priming paints are to be removed back to bare metal by wire brushing or chipping as
required.

Surface is to be rubbed down to remove all irregularities.

Bare patches in metalwork delivered primed are to be brought forward with the appropriate primer before
receiving the treatment specified.
SURFACE PREPARATION OF WOODWORK.

All dirt, grease, etc. is to be cleaned.

Surface is to be rubbed down with sand paper to remove all projecting fibres, particular attention being paid to

Plastic surfaces: etch with abrasive paper and white spirit.

Steel and iron surface: apply one coat of red lead primer or zinc chromate primer. Edges are to be
primed first and allowed to dry, and then the whole surface primed.

Galvanised or zinc surfaces: either applies one coat of calcium plumbate primer or etch. With
