Slide 3 of 41

• Surface preparation and priming techniques

• Causes and solutions for common paint problems

Classifying Paints

Introduction

• Paints are classified by resin type

Slide 4 of 41

• Oil and latex paints are the most common paints

• Knowledge can prevent problems

Classifying Paints

How to Classify Paint

• Classified by type of resin or curing mechanism

Slide 5 of 41

• Resin contributes to performance

• Curing method influences drying time

Classifying Paints

Resin Types

• Oils/Alkyds

• Latex/Acrylics

Slide 6 of 41

• Latex/Acrylics

• Epoxies

• Urethanes

Classifying Paints

Curing Mechanisms

• Solvent Evaporation – evaporation of solvent allows paint to dry

Slide 7 of 41

• Coalescence – particles of pigment and binder fuse together to bind the pigment

• Oxidation – binder oxidizes as it reacts with the oxygen in the air

Classifying Paints

Drying vs. Curing

• Drying occurs when solvent evaporates from coating

Slide 8 of 41

coating

• Curing occurs when coating has reached optimum hardness

Classifying Paints

Factors Affecting Curing

• Temperature

• Air Movement

Slide 9 of 41

• Air Movement

• Relative Humidity

• Dew Point

Classifying Paints

• Temperatures affect viscosity and bonding

Factors Affecting Curing, Cont’d…

Slide 10 of 41

Surface Preparation and Primers

Introduction

• Proper surface preparation is key

Slide 12 of 41

• Preparation and priming can prevent problems

• Critical with wood and metal applications


Painting Wood

• Apply protective coating to clean, dry surface

Slide 13 of 41

• Holes and cracks should be filled

• Type of wood will affect painting process


Staining Wood

• Wood surface should be clean and dry

Slide 14 of 41

• Set nail holes below surface and fill-in

• Remove any loose fibers


Re-Staining Wood

• Surface should be stripped of old finish

Slide 15 of 41

• Wood bleach system may be used for even color

• Clear finishes require a minimum of four coats


Painting Masonry

• Consider surface porosity and pH

Slide 16 of 41

• Highly porous surfaces must be filled

• Painting “hot”masonry will “burn” the resin


Painting Metal

• Use latex or waterborne acrylic for galvanized steel

Slide 17 of 41

steel

• Shipping coats should be removed with a solvent wash

Finish Coats

Why do People Paint?

• Color – sets mood, safety

• Sheen – appearance and

Slide 18 of 41

Color Schemes

• Analogous – 3 colors side by side on color wheel

Slide 20 of 41

• Monochromatic – tints and shade of 1 hue

• Triad – 3 colors equidistant on color wheel
