The initial manual was researched and prepared with volunteers
drawn from a contractor's association (M.P.D.A.), a paint
manufacturer's association (C.P.M.A), and a society for
paint technology (P.N/W.S.P.T.).

the companion manual (Maintenance Repainting Manual) are
owned by Master Painters & Decorators Association --
a not-for-profit industry association.

designers, specification writers, government agencies, property
managers, paint contractors, coating inspectors, paint manufacturers
and suppliers.
Manual purchasers receive no-cost updates and revisions
