For brush/roller painting in confined spaces, an airline respirator is required, un-
less an air sampling shows exposure to be below standards. If the air sampling
is below standards, either chemical cartridge or airline respirators are required.
Spot painters applying CARC paint by brush or roller must wear clothing and

respiratory irritation may be released. Before applying heat, sand or grind paint
down to bare metal on area four inches to either side of the area you plan to
weld or cut.
When touching up damaged areas, the procedure should be as similar to the original method of
finishing as possible; a clean surface is imperative. Where general disintegration of the surface is
evident, or the under surface is corroded, the coating must be stripped clean from the part.
Corrosion must be removed or neutralized by mechanical or chemical treatment, or both, and the
surface metal must be pretreated, primed, and then top coated.
