Joints must be taped and covered with a joint compound.
Spackled nail heads and tape joints must be sanded smooth and all dust removed prior to painting.

Wood-Interior
All finishing lumber must be stored in dry, warm rooms to prevent absorption of moisture,
shrinkage, and roughening of the wood.
All surfaces must be sanded smooth, with the grain, never across it.
Surface blemishes must be corrected and the area cleaned of dust before coating.
Cleaning-Metal work
Solvent cleaning is a method for removing all visible oil, grease, soil, drawing and cutting
compounds, and other soluble contaminants. Solvent cleaning does not remove rust or mill scale.
Fungal alternatives using vinegar, borax, baking soda, lemon, salt, art-gum erasers,
For exterior metal surfaces such as steel, aluminum, wrought iron railings,
superior rust conditions require power cleaning

Scratches, cracks, holes, indentations, gouges, and
similar defects in surfaces shall be properly cut
out and filled with spackling compound, patching
plaster and other patching material as may be
required, and brought to a smooth, flush surface
 
Sandpaper woodwork to be painted or finished to
remove all roughness, loose edges, slivers, or
splinters, and then brush to remove dust, grease or
dirt and wash off with suitable cleaner.
For knots and sap marks apply thin coats of knot sealer
and then sand lightly when dry.
Fill cracks, nail holes and surface defects in
woodwork with putty or plastic wood after the
primer coat. Bring putty or plastic wood filler up flush with surface
 
Wash metal surfaces with solvent to remove dirt or
grease before applying materials.
Where rust or scale is present, remove by power
tools before painting.

washed down with acetic acid (vinegar) or other
approved solution, then thoroughly washed with
clear water. Metal shall be dry before paint is

other irregularities in metal work to be painted,
with an approved metal filler suitable for the
purpose, and after setting, sand to a smooth, hard
surface and spot prime.
