9-6 Paint Refinishing
Indoor switchgear is finished with ANSI-61 gray polyester
powder coat that is TGIC free. To refinish damaged areas,
remove all loose paint, rust, scale, oil or grease. Make sure area
is dry. Sand any scratches smooth using 220 grit paper or finer.
Remove all dust from the area to be repaired. All paint work
should be done only when the temperature is above 55 degrees
F.
- Scratches and small, damaged areas can be painted with a
touch up can of spray paint of matching color.
This spray can, or more if needed, can be obtained from the GE
Burlington, Iowa facility or the GE Mt. Juliet, Tennessee facility by
using GE One Stop and ordering Catalogue Number TSP-61 GE
Gray Touch Up Paint.
—Apply a coat of good acrylic enamel primer (Sherman-Williams
E61 A 60,-GE part number 21525025200) with a viscosity of
approximately 24-32 seconds using a #2 Zahn cup. Reduce with
D5B9 Xylol (GE part number 21525038000) if needed. Air dry the
primer for a minimum of 30 minutes, then apply the finish color
coat of acrylic enamel. The top coat should be applied within 24
hours for best adhesion.
—If the area is to be spray-coated, thin the acrylic enamel with
D5B9 Xylol (GE part number 21525038000). This thinning should
only be necessary if the paint was received in a five gallon drum
or more. The recommended viscosity for the W42713 topcoat
should be 24-32 seconds with a #2 Zahn cup. The curing
schedule for PPG W42713 is dust free in 5 minutes, touch in 30
minutes, handle in 60 minutes, full cure in 7 days. Both the
primer (Sherwin-Williams E61 A 60) and paint (PPG W42713)
should be applied only when temperature is above 55 degrees
Fahrenheit.
—Application of special paint will be per the manufacturer’s
Product Data Sheet which includes instructions on thinning and
application.
