SHOP PAINTING
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The requirements of the paragraph will be
coordinated with the requirements of Section 09900
PAINTING, GENERAL. In crawl spaces and other high
humidity areas where greater protection than that
provided by a primer paint is required and the
joists or girders will not be finish painted, the
paragraph will be revised to require that the joists
or girders be shop painted with an asphalt-base type
paint.
**************************************************************************
Joists [, joist girders] and accessories shall be shop painted with a
rust-inhibiting primer paint. For joists [and joist girders] which will be
finish painted under Section 09900 PAINTING, GENERAL, the primer paint
shall be limited to a primer which is compatible with the specified finish
paint.
