This paper updates previous editions of "The Paint and Coatings Cost and Selection Guide"1  published by the authors biennially through NACE since 1979.

The Guide is designed to help coatings engineers, specifiers, and users to: (1) identify suitable paint and protective coating systems for specific industrial environments; (2) calculate current approximate installed costs and estimated service life for each; and (3) determine the most cost-effective systems, including economic justification. Costs for both new construction and maintenance painting are supplied, including typical maintenance repainting sequences and their composition. The effect of maintenance sequences on long-term costs and system performance are reviewed.
