What's New
Welcome to the Master Painters Institute Manual Website.
This website was developed to provide on-line access to
the MPI Manuals (Architectural Painting Specification
Manual and the Maintenance Repainting Manual). For a modest
annual fee (per publication) the registrant may access
one or more of the publications on-line at his or her
leisure and print excerpts from either Manual. These publications
can also be purchased in the printed version on this website.

Welcome to the new Master Painters Institute Architectural Painting Specification Decision Tree. This method was developed as a result of a request from the US Navy.
Using this version of the manual should be easier for anyone specifying paint systems for the multiple architectural substrates (both interior – 25 substrates and exterior – 23 substrates). The focus of this process is a simple question and answer method to attain the best possible system for a specific substrate. The user will be asked to answer from 8 – 10 questions for each system.
The paint systems that are chosen using this method are the best possible choices in 80 percent of normal architectural specifications, the remainder or 20% are special purpose choices that would not be considered under normal circumstances (e.g. epoxy coatings on interior composite wood doors).
There is also a quick route to the system choices for those who know exactly what they want to specify.
A demonstration will be included to show you how to use this method of choosing paint systems.
You must go to the MPI Store to purchase and register for this on-line edition of the MPI Architectural Painting Specification Manual. The MPI Maintenance Repainting Manual will be available in this format later in 2010.
The MPI Store is now divided into 3 distinct sections for your ease of use:
- Printed Publications
- On-Line (e-versions) of the MPI Manuals
- Downloadable Publications: MPI Product
Standards (in a PDF Format)
