5. Determined and tested condition and nature of existing substrate and surface material by Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
performing adhesion test which includes but is not limited to: No No No No No
 Adhesion Tape Test: Performing an adhesion tape test to determine the condition of the existing
substrate. Cutting a piece of adhesive tape and firmly press it onto the surface. Then quickly
peeling off the tape in one swift motion. Inspecting the tape and the surface for any paint or
coating that has come off. If the tape reveals a significant amount of paint or coating, it indicates
poor adhesion and the need for further surface preparation.
 Cross-Cut Adhesion Test: Using a sharp blade or a specially designed adhesion tester to create a
series of shallow cuts in a crosshatch pattern on the surface. Ensuring that the cuts penetrate
through any existing paint or coating layers down to the substrate. Applying masking tape over
the cuts and firmly press it down. Quickly removing the tape by pulling it off at a 45-degree
angle. Assessing the amount of paint or coating that has peeled off. If there is extensive paint
loss, additional surface preparation may be necessary.
 Pull-Off Adhesion Test: Utilizing a pull-off adhesion tester, following the manufacturer's
instructions, to assess the bond strength between the existing coating and the substrate. This
test involves applying a controlled force to a dolly adhered to the surface and measuring the
force required to pull it off. The results provide an objective measure of adhesion strength,
helping to determine if the surface requires further preparation or if it is suitable for painting.
 Wet Adhesion Test: For surfaces that have been previously painted, perform a wet adhesion
test. Moisten a cloth or sponge with water and rub it firmly against the painted surface. If the
paint softens or comes off easily, it suggests poor adhesion. This test helps identify surfaces that
may require more thorough cleaning or additional preparation steps.

applying appropriate sealers to promote good adhesion and long-lasting finish.
- Considering the desired texture of the finished surface. Some methods, such as
sandblasting or wire brushing, can create rougher textures, while others, like fine
sanding or polishing, can result in smoother finishes. Choosing the method that aligns
with the desired outcome.
 Substrate Requirements
- Ensuring that the selected surface preparation method is compatible with the substrate
material. Different materials, such as timber, plaster, metal, or masonry, may require
specific techniques to prepare them effectively.
- Considering the condition of the substrate. If it has existing damage, such as cracks,
holes, or deteriorated areas, choosing methods that address these issues, such as filling,
patching, or repairing before proceeding with the surface preparation.
- Taking into account the sensitivity of the substrate material. Some materials, like
delicate plaster or historic timber, may require more gentle preparation methods to
avoid damage. Adjusting the intensity and aggressiveness of the technique accordingly.
