Procedures which can be used to accurately estimate the cost of industrial maintenance painting are presented and discussed. The method involves the effect on painting costs of such variables as paint material, coating application, surface condition, pre-treatment, surface configuration, rigging, interference, environment, and posture required for painter. It has been found that estimators not having a broad knowledge of painting technologies are able to obtain reasonably accurate results with this method. It also has been found that this system will produce closely comparable cost predictions when used by different estimators. 1.2.2
