uniform consistency. Mechanical agitation during application shall be sufficient to keep
pigment in solution as per manufacturer’s recommendations.
4.4 Coating material mixed in the original container shall not be transferred until all settled,
pigment is incorporated in the vehicle. This does not imply that part of the vehicle may not
be poured off temporarily to simplify the mixing.
4.5 Coating material shall not be mixed or kept in suspension by using a bubbling air stream.
4.6 Where a skin has formed in the container, the skin shall be cut loose and discarded. If such
skins are sufficiently thick to have a practical effect on the composition and quality, the
paint shall not be used.
4.7 All pigmented material shall be strained after mixing except where application equipment is
provided with adequate strainers. Strainers shall be capable of passing the pigment and
removing any skin.
4.8 Material which does not have a limited pot life, or does not deteriorate on standing may be
mixed any time before using, but if settling has occurred, it must be re-mixed immediately
before using. Coating material shall not remain in spray pots or buckets overnight but shall
be gathered into a closed container and re-mixed before use.
4.9 No thinner shall be added unless necessary for proper application. Thinning shall not
exceed limitation established by manufacturer and only thinners specified by the
manufacturer shall be used.
4.10 Type of thinner shall comply with manufacturer’s instruction.

film of uniform thickness free of pores. Any thin spots or areas missed in the application
shall be re-coated and permitted to dry before the next coat is applied.
5.2.4 To reduce the possibility of inter-coat contamination and assure proper adhesion between
successive coats, all coats shall be applied as soon as possible after the minimum specified
drying time of the preceding coat. Material shall be considered dry for recoating when an
additional coat can be applied without the development of any detrimental film
irregularities, such as lifting or loss of adhesion of the undercoat.
5.2.5 When successive coats of the same color have been specified, alternate coats shall be tinted,
when practical, sufficiently to produce enough contrast to indicate complete coverage of the
surface. When the material is the color of the steel, or when the tinting of the final coat is
objectionable, the first coat to be applied shall be tinted. The tinting material shall be
compatible with the coating material and not detrimental to its service life.
5.2.6 Brush application of paint shall be in accordance with the following:
a. Brushes shall be of a style and quality that will enable proper application of paint.
Round or oval brushes are most suitable for rivets, bolts, irregular surfaces, and
rough or pitted steel. Wide, flat brushes are suitable for large flat areas, but they
shall not have a width over five inches.
b. The brushing shall be done so that a smooth coat as nearly uniform in thickness as
possible is obtained.

c. Paint shall be worked into all corners.
d. Any runs or sags shall be brushed out.
e. There shall be a minimum of brush marks left in the applied paint.
f. Surfaces not accessible to brushes shall be painted by daubers or sheep skin.
5.2.7 Air spray application shall be in accordance with the following:
The equipment used shall be suitable for the intended purpose, shall be capable of properly
atomizing the paint to be applied and shall be equipped with suitable pressure regulators and
gauges. The air caps, nozzles, and needles shall be those recommended by the manufacturer
of the equipment for the material being sprayed. The equipment shall be kept in satisfactory
condition to permit proper paint application.
Traps or separators shall be provided to remove oil and condensed water from the air. These
traps or separators must be of adequate size and must be drained periodically during
operations. The air from the spray gun impinging against the surface shall show no
condensed water or oil.
Ingredients shall be kept properly mixed in the spray pots or containers during application
by continuous mechanical agitation.
The pressure on the material in the pot and of the air at the gun shall be adjusted for
optimum spraying effectiveness. The pressure on the material in the pot shall be adjusted
when necessary for changes in elevation of the gun above the pot. The atomizing air
pressure at the gun shall be high enough to properly atomize the paint but not so high as to
cause excessive fogging of paint, excessive evaporation of solvent, or loss by over spray.
Spray equipment shall be kept sufficiently clean so that dirt, dried paint, and other foreign
materials are not deposited in the paint film. Any solvent left in the equipment shall be
completely removed before applying paint to the surface being painted.
Paint shall be applied in uniform layer, with overlapping at the edge of the spray pattern.
The spray pattern shall be adjusted so that the paint is deposited uniformly. During
application, the gun shall be held perpendicular to the surface and at a distance which will
ensure that a wet layer of paint is deposited on the surface. The trigger of the gun should be
released at the end of each stroke.
All runs and sags shall be brushed out immediately or the paint shall be removed and the
surface repainted.
Areas inaccessible to the spray gun shall be painted by brush; if not accessible by brush
daubers, or sheepskins shall be used. Brushes shall be used to work paint into cracks
crevices, and blind spots which are not adequately painted by spray.
Particular precautions are necessary in spraying inorganic zinc. These are listed in the
manufacturer’s instructions.
5.2.8 Airless spray application shall be in accordance with the following procedure: as per steel
structure paint Manual Vol.1 & Vol.2 by SSPC, USA, Air less spray relies on hydraulic
pressure rather than air atomisation to produce the desired spray. An air compressor or
electric motor is used to operate a pump to produce pressures of 1,000 to 6,000 psi. Paint is
delivered to the spray gun at this pressure through a single hose within the gun, a single
paint stream is divided into separate streams, which are forced through a small orifice
resulting in atomization of paint without the use of air. This results in more rapid coverage

with less over spray. Airless spray usually is faster, cleaner, more economical and easier to
use than conventional air spray.
Airless spray equipment is mounted on wheels, and paint is aspirated in a hose that sucks
paint from any container, including drums. The unit shall have inbuilt agitator that keep the
paint uniformly mixed during the spraying. The unit shall consists of inbuilt strainer. Usually
very small quantities of thinning is required before spray. In case of High Build epoxy
coatings(two pack). 30:1 pump ratio and 0.020-0.023" tip size will provide a good spray
pattern. Ideally fluid hoses should not be less than 3/8" ID and not longer than 50ft to obtain
optimum results.
In case of gun choking, de-choking steps shall be followed immediately.
5.2.9 All nameplates, manufacturers’ identification tags, machined surfaces, instrument glass,
finished flange faces, control valve stems and similar items shall be masked to prevent
coating deposition.
5.2.10 If these surfaces are coated the component shall be cleaned and restored to its original
condition.
5.2.11 Edges of structural shapes and irregular coated surfaces shall be coated first and an extra pass
made latter.
5.2.12 Wet paint shall be protected against contamination from dust or other foreign matter.
5.3 Drying of Coated Surfaces
5.3.1 No coat shall be applied until the preceding coat has dried. The material shall be considered
dry for re-coating when another coat can be applied without the development of any film
irregularities such as lifting or loss of adhesion of undercoats, and the drying time of the
applied coat does not exceed the maximum specified for it as a first coat.
5.3.2 No paint shall be force dried under conditions which will cause checking, wrinkling,
blistering, formation of pores, or detrimentally affect the condition of the paint.
5.3.3 No drier shall be added to paint on the job unless specially called for in the manufacturer’s
specification of the paint.
5.3.4 Paint shall be protected from rain, condensation, contamination, snow and freezing until dry
to the fullest extent practicable.
5.4 Repair of Damaged Paint Surfaces.
5.4.1 Where shop paint has been damaged in handling, all damaged and loosely adhering paint
shall be removed and the surface thoroughly cleaned. Edges of the breaks shall be
feathered, and the designated number of prime and finish coats applied to the thickness
specified.
