Verify that [surfaces] [substrate conditions] are ready to receive work as instructed by the product manufacturer.

Examine surfaces scheduled to be finished prior to commencement of work. Report any condition that may potentially affect proper application.

Test shop applied primer for compatibility with subsequent cover materials.

PREPARATION

Remove [or mask] electrical plates, hardware, light fixture trim, escutcheons, and fittings prior to preparing surfaces or finishing.

Correct defects and clean surfaces which affect work of this section. [Remove existing coatings that exhibit loose surface defects.]

Seal with shellac and seal marks which may bleed through surface finishes.

Impervious Surfaces:	Remove mildew by scrubbing with solution of tri-sodium phosphate and bleach. Rinse with clean water and allow surface to dry.

Aluminum Surfaces Scheduled for Paint Finish: Remove surface contamination by steam or high pressure water. Remove oxidation with acid etch and solvent washing. Apply etching primer immediately following cleaning.

Asphalt, Creosote, or Bituminous Surfaces Scheduled for Paint Finish: Remove foreign particles to permit adhesion of finishing materials. Apply [latex based] [compatible] sealer or primer.

Insulated Coverings:	Remove dirt, grease, and oil from canvas and cotton.

Concrete Floors:	Remove contamination, acid etch, and rinse floors with clear water. Verify required acid-

alkali balance is achieved. Allow to dry.

Copper Surfaces Scheduled for a Paint Finish: Remove contamination by steam, high pressure water, or solvent washing. Apply vinyl etch primer immediately following cleaning.

Copper Surfaces Scheduled for a Natural Oxidized Finish: Remove contamination by applying oxidizing solution of copper acetate and ammonium chloride in acetic acid. Rub on repeatedly for required effect. Once attained, rinse surfaces with clear water and allow to dry.

Gypsum Board Surfaces: Fill minor defects with filler compound. Spot prime defects after repair.

Galvanized Surfaces:	Remove surface contamination and oils and wash with solvent. Apply coat of etching primer.

Concrete and Unit Masonry Surfaces Scheduled to Receive Paint Finish: Remove dirt, loose mortar, scale, salt or alkali powder, and other foreign matter. Remove oil and grease with a solution of tri-sodium phosphate; rinse well and allow to dry. Remove stains caused by weathering of corroding metals with a solution of sodium metasilicate after thoroughly wetting with water. Allow to dry.

Plaster Surfaces: Fill hairline cracks, small holes, and imperfections with latex patching plaster. Make smooth and flush with adjacent surfaces. Wash and neutralize high alkali surfaces.

Uncoated Steel and Iron Surfaces: Remove grease, mill scale, weld splatter, dirt, and rust. Where heavy coatings of scale are evident, remove by [hand] [power tool] wire brushing or sandblasting; clean by washing with solvent. Apply a treatment of phosphoric acid solution, ensuring weld joints, bolts, and nuts are similarly cleaned. Spot prime paint after repairs.
