Where only topcoating for cosmetic purposes is
required, a compatible topcoat that hides substrate
should be selected. There are proposed rules
limiting VOC content in states other than
California. These rules are for architectural and
industrial maintenance paints and coatings. Check
local and State regulations concerning allowable VOC
limits. The most stringent govern.

EXTERIOR PAINT TABLES
**************************************************************************
NOTE: (DIVISION 3: EXTERIOR CONCRETE PAINT TABLE).
For applications of high-build glaze finishes over
concrete masonry units requiring block filler that
meets resistance to wind-driven rain or resistance
to hydrostatic pressure, specify filler materials
and applications of Section 09963 HIGH-BUILD GLAZE
COATING.
(Substrates B and C). Except for new cast-in-place
concrete walls in Iceland, use MPI 10, MPI 11, or
MPI 119. Use MPI 42, for accent panels, special
effect, or ceilings.
Color: Main reason for painting concrete and stucco
is to obtain desired color. Before specifying paint
systems, coordinate with other specification
sections to confirm that concrete does not have
special waterproof finish or applied, colored
cementitious finish and that stucco does not have
color pigment integral with mix.
Do not use MPI 10, MPI 11, or MPI 119 on new
cast-in-place concrete wall surfaces in Iceland.
Specify "steinakryl" which is a solvent-borne
acrylic paint applied to vertical or near vertical
