How is a factory applied steel finish addressed in this credit? The credit language address all sorts of primers and paints, including anti-corrosive paints, but does not address anti-corrosive primers, which would seem to be the category a factory applied steel finish falls into in our case. The structure in our building is exposed and will be finished with a paint that is also anti-corrosive. Does the factory applied red steel primer qualify as an anti-corrosive paint or does it have to be considered a primer merely due to the fact we are applying another finish over it? It seems like the latter choice would unfairly punish us (since primer requirements are more stringent than anti-corrosive paint requirements) for applying another finish since the factory finish is the final finish in the majority of buildings, and could therefore be considered a paint in those cases.
