 Having been in this coatings world for over 30 years, I have seen many, many coating failures. I remember in my SSPC & NACE certification courses listening to the grizzled vets tell their “old war stories”. Now, I have my own, three of which I am going to share with you.

 Having been in this coatings world for over 30 years, I have seen many, many coating failures. I remember in my SSPC & NACE certification courses listening to the grizzled vets tell their “old war stories”. Now, I have my own, three of which I am going to share with you. The point of this article is that an Independent Third-Party Coatings Inspector while not always required is a very good idea and certainly worth the money involved. The three stories I am going to tell you are true, but the names are changed to protect the innocent as well as the guilty. The first two tell of how an Independent Third-Party Coatings inspector could have saved time & money for the client. The last story also tells of how things can get very “exciting” on a jobsite where an coatings inspector is working.

Over the last thirty years, I have been asked by numerous people, including my children, what I do for a living. After trying to explain about corrosion, site condition assessments, coating system selection, specification writing, inspection, training, etc., I default to a standard answer that I am sure many of my readers have used - "I watch paint dry."
