Abstract

The purpose of this manual is to provide information that will assist the painting inspector in performing his job more efficiently. It is intended to help the inspector, particularly if he is inexperienced, to be of real assistance to the Department of Transportation personnel and to the project contractor. The manual includes information on paints, surface preparation, application of paint, and inspection duties. The significant value, however, is that it provides an insight to the complexities of paint as a material and the difficulties that sometimes arise with its use. The information contained in this manual should not be considered as specification requirements but is intended to assist the inspector in their interpretation. Much of the material presented will be found in the various specifications for painting.
