No external or internal painting work shall be carried out in wet or foggy weather, or in extremes of
temperature or humidity, or on surfaces that are not thoroughly dry. No painting work shall be carried out in
conditions of airborne dust. The Contractor shall take all necessary measures to protect completed coats
from rain and dust in the vicinity of the works. Engineer will not consider any claim for extension of time for
adverse environmental conditions where the Contractor has not taken steps to protect the painting work
against these conditions.
Primed or undercoated woodwork and metal work shall not be left in an exposed or unsuitable condition for
an undue period before completing the painting process. If this situation occurs, causing a degradation of
the properties of the exposed materials, Engineer, at its discretion, will issue a Site Instruction to remove
the damaged material and re-apply that coat, at the Contractors expense.

in painters pots shall not be left unsealed in the event of temporary stoppage of work.
8.8.5
Sequence of work
No mastic (putty coat) or priming coat shall be applied until the substrate surface has been inspected and
the preparatory work has approved by Engineer. No subsequent undercoats or finishing coats shall be
applied until the previous coat has been similarly inspected and approved. To control this sequence of work,
including inspections and approval by Engineer, the Contractor shall submit a checklist control sheet for
approval and coordination with Engineer Supervisors.
No consecutive coats of paint shall be the same shade of colour (except white). The manufacturer will
supply information on alternative shades, on request, and any tinting in this respect shall be undertaken at
the manufacturers premises prior to sealing the containers.
Each coat of the work shall be thoroughly dry before subsequent coats are applied. At the completion of
each coat, the work shall be rubbed-down with abrasive paper appropriate to the nature of the material.
8.8.6
Protection and cleaning
During execution of the painting works, the Contractor shall be responsible for the protection of all other
finishing works from paint drops, splashes, roller marks or over-spray. These include electrical and lighting
fittings, sanitary fixtures and fittings, all other unpainted or decorative surfaces, metal trims, glass, joinery,
