This paper updates and expands the authors' previous papers on the subject designed to assist the coatings engineer or specifier in identifying suitable paint and coating systems for specific industrial atmospheric environments, calculating current approximate installed costs and life for each, and establishing economic justification for their selection. In addition to cost factors for new construction and its normal maintenance, the 1988 edition includes maintenance painting conditions and cost factors covering varying degrees of rusting, pitting, and old paint breakdown. Generic classes of products and systems have been updated and expanded from 74 to 103 of the most commonly used protective coating systems, with particular emphasis on surface tolerant coatings and those containing high solids, Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) conforming products. Top coated galvanized and zinc metalized systems are included for comparison.

The basic elements of economic analysis and justification for paint and coatings systems are clarified, simplified, and defined.

The impact of computer software programs for system costing, selection, and justification to assist the coatings engineer to be more effective is reviewed.

Guidelines are presented for establishing criteria and budgeting for inspection.

The importance and complexity of the capture, disposal, and handling of spent abrasive and toxic coating wastes are discussed.
