A practical Onboard
Maintenance Paint Guide
The purpose of this guide is to provide
easy and practical support on how to
plan onboard maintenance, and
the safe and efficient process of paint
application.
Onboard maintenance is often carried out at short notice without a
great deal of planning. This may lead to an insufficient coating result.
By having a well planned and executed Onboard Maintenance Program,
the appearance and the performance of the coating will meet your
expectations. As a result, maintenance intervals will be longer and the
vessel will have a better cosmetic appearance throughout its lifetime.
Long term paint consumption and maintenance cost will be reduced and
the crew will spend less time on paint jobs. Ultimately, vessel lifetime can
be prolonged and cost during dry-docking will be reduced.
1.0
INSPECTION
AND PLANNING
Be sure to set aside enough

time for the crew to do the job.
1.1 Evaluation
Divide the vessel maintenance into smaller manageable areas.
Evaluate the condition of the area designated for maintenance
and the extent of defects that needs to be repaired. Refer to
the Onboard Maintenance Manuals (OMM) maintenance chart
for suitable paint for the area to be painted. Check type of
existing coating in order to assure paint compatibility, refer to
Technical Data Sheet (TDS).
1.2 Calculation
Calculate the expected volume
for the area by using the Onboard
Maintenance Manual paint calculator.
Consult the TDS for recoating intervals. Make sure you have sufficient
volumes of all paint types needed for
the job.
Weather conditions
Take into consideration current weather conditions,
forecast and the time of day. The temperature of the
substrate should be minimum 3C above the dew point
of the air to avoid condensation. Remember to include
risk of condensation also after the paint is applied.
Recording
Keep a record of what type of paint you apply to the
different areas and the volume used.
Safety
Read the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the products before
application. Make sure all Health, Safety and Environmental
(HSE) requirements and recommendations concerning paint
application are followed.
2.0
Consult the Safety Data

Sheet (SDS), available
for all products.
HEALTH, SAFETY,
ENVIRONMENT
Health
Avoid breathing in the vapours/fumes by working in ventilated
areas, and if necessary use respirator mask.
Use safety goggles or glasses.
Avoid skin contact by wearing gloves and boiler suit.
Safety
Store the paint in a dry shaded area, preferably in the paint locker.
Assess and secure the area to be repaired for flammable liquids or
gases that may ignite when using mechanical power tools.
Be sure to have good ventilation during painting operations.
Remove all naked lights and unprotected electrical equipment
while painting.
Environment
Do not allow the spillage of paint residues to enter drains
or water sources.
Material and container must be disposed as hazardous waste.

SURFACE
PREPARATION
3.1 Cleaning
Clean all surfaces using water soluble detergent and high
pressure fresh water. Remove salt, oil, grease, loose coating,
dirt and detergent prior to de-rusting.
3.2 De-rusting
When de-rusting, turn smaller patches of rust into one
larger area by removing the paint between the rust patches.
Remove rust manually or mechanically by use of power
tools. Mechanical removal is recommended as it offers
higher efficiency and better results.
Work to limit edges as these are often a weak spot. Edges
are recommended to be feathered. This is done by grinding
or sanding the edges to create a diagonal shape.
3.3 Remove
particles
After de-rusting remember to
remove all particles etc. from the
prepared surface prior to painting.
If possible, use the working air
available on deck.
3.4 Avoid
contamination
Paint immediately after the surface
is prepared in order to avoid
contamination, increased salt levels
and flash rust on bare metals.
In case of
contamination
If the surface is contaminated
prior to painting, a final wash
is recommended. Use high
pressure fresh water. Altern
atively hose down thoroughly
with fresh water combined
with manual scrubbing.
Avoid smooth surfaces to secure adhesion.
Manual tools:
Power tools:
Power grinding
Rotary wire brushing
Rust-pickers
Needle gun
Rotary discs
Scrapes
Sand blasting
Bristle blasting
Chipping hammers
or chisels
Wire brushing

PREPARATION
OF THE PAINT
Consult the TDS for the correct mixing

ratio and the correct hardener.
One component paint

For one component paint, be sure to stir the paint
using a mechanical mixer for minimum two minutes,
until the paint is homogeneous before use.
B
A
10
Two component paint

When part mixing a pre-calculated volume, measuring
can be done by using a scoop/cup or a measure stick.
Consult the TDS for the correct mixing ratio. Stir both
component A (base) and component B (curing agent)
separately before adding them together in a clean tin.
Then stir the two components together for minimum
two minutes, until you have a homogeneous mixture,
using a mechanical mixer. If stirring is done manually,
more time is needed.
Thinning
Induction
Jotun Smart Pack products are tailor

made for brush and roller application,
therefore thinning is not needed. For
other paint types, follow TDS guidelines.
Adhere to induction time and pot life

stated in the TDS before applying the
paint.

PAINT
APPLICATION
Paint brush
For pitted and difficult to reach areas and for primer
application direct on steel, brush application is
recommended.
Good quality natural fibre or synthetic brushes.
Brushes must be clean before re-using them for
other different paints.
Dip the brush often to keep it well filled with paint.
Do not dip the brush deeper than half the length of its hairs.
On flat, vertical surfaces, apply the last stroke of paint
in a vertical direction to reduce sagging.
Roller
When paint application is done with a roller, use a roller board
to assure an even distribution of paint on the roller. Pitted areas
should be touched up by brush before roller application.
Ensure surface is dry and

free from contamination
prior to application of
the subsequent coat.
Spray gun
For larger jobs, we
recommend to use
a spray gun. Do not
use an airless spray
for applying stripe
coats. Check pressure
at nozzle, nozzle size,
spray angle and that
the filter is clean prior
to application.
Paint film
thickness
Consult the TDS for the
specified wet and dry
film thickness. Too low
film thickness gives poor
protection and too thick
film thickness may result
in loss of adhesion,
cracking and solvent
entrapment.
IMPORTANT!
Paint application should not be done under these conditions:
During rain, high humidity (above 85%), snow, mist and fog.
Phenolic rollers with short hair are recommended.
On surface wet with condensation. Condensation occurs when the steel temperature is
below the dew point of the atmosphere. Make sure the steel temperature is at least 3C
higher than the measured dew point.
Dip the roller often to keep it well filled with paint.
The substrate temperature is under the minimum drying limit of the coating. (Refer to TDS)
Over rolling can cause paint pick up, specially associated with
fast drying paint.
Untreated or contaminated surface.
Rollers must be clean.
If dry to recoat maximum painting interval is exceeded or not achieved. (Refer to TDS)
Finish by rolling in one direction to ensure a uniform finish.

STOCK KEEPING
Updated manual
Be sure to have the Onboard Maintenance Chart and an
Onboard Maintenance Paint Guide available in the paint
locker at all times.
Availability
Have available a mechanical mixer, spray
equipment and good quality brush and
rollers. In addition ensure there is a choice
of equipment to treat defected areas and
suitable detergents.
Labeling
Label the racks and shelves with the right
products.
Consulting
Always consult the Technical Data Sheet for expiry
day of the paint. Be sure to follow first in first out
principle to avoid expiration of the paint.
14
Properly closed
To keep product quality and avoid
contamination, used/opened paint
drums must be properly closed after use.
Where two component products have
been mixed, leave it to go hard and
dispose in the authorized manner.
Inventory
control
Keep count of the ratio stored

of A- and B- components for
two component products. If the
amount of B- components does
not correspond with the amount
of A-components left in the paint
locker at any given time, chances
are that the mixing is not correct.
Cleaning
All equipment, mixers, spray
pumps, brushes etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible
after use.
