The need for a new paint specification can be driven by many factors:

• A new product to paint

• New painting equipment

• A different paint being introduced

• ISO compliance

• Customer requirements

• Increase efficiency, etc.

If the project involves more than two departments, or if you are creating an entirely new specification, a Project Manager should be assigned. Top management needs to communicate their support for the project to help foster everyone’s cooperation.

SPECS4paint.com can help organize and manage projects.

Paint specifications need to encompass the PERFORMANCE requirements of the paint and the PROCESS required to apply it.
