In the summer of 2014 Vulcan Painters spearheaded a project to do surface preparation and recoat seven historic military tanks, asking for help from the industrial painting community, from contractors and suppliers. The aim of the project was to finish the work without expense to the foundation that sought to build a new museum to house 200 years of U.S. Army armor and cavalry history.
In the summer of 2014 Vulcan Painters spearheaded a project to do surface preparation and recoat seven historic military tanks, asking for help from the industrial painting community, from contractors and suppliers. The aim of the project was to finish the work without expense to the foundation that sought to build a new museum to house 200 years of U.S. Army armor and cavalry history. This talk details the project from its beginning without even a space to paint, specifications for the tanks to be painted, or the tanks themselves selected, and moves through outreach to the industry through various media, seeking contractors to volunteer to paint a tank, and suppliers to donate paint, abrasive, equipment, and materials. Contractors who volunteered were both union and non-union, and the industry responded with donations of manpower, equipment, and materials. Research into paint colors and manufacturers produced accurate colors and formulas and led to requests to coatings companies to produce and donate coatings in a short period of time. As volunteers and materials were recruited, estimating time and materials, and setting up scheduling for working painting crews became key. The underlying theme that made this project possible was the will of those who volunteered to give something back to the military, by preserving these tanks that are part of its history. Members of each painting crew brought their own personal reasons for volunteering, many involving family members who served. Contractor names and supplier names that are usually removed from these papers, according to SSPC paper requirements, are used here because of the highly collaborative nature of the project.
Painting contractors are frequently forced to contractually obligate their Commercial General Liability Coverage (CGLC), onto Building Owners (BO), and/or General Contactors (GC). A typical scenario occurs when a painting contractor bids a project and enter into contractual obligations without fully realizing what their contractual obligations are within the job they just bid and won.
