      1. a. For the sealers, 1.9 kg VOC/kg solids, equivalent to 1.9 lb VOC/lb solids, as applied; and
      2. b. For the topcoats, 2.0 kg VOC/kg solids, equivalent to 2.0 lb VOC/lb solids, as applied; or

   3. (3) Using a finishing system of topcoats and sealers consisting of acid-cured alkyd amino vinyl sealers and topcoats other than acid-cured alkyd amino conversion varnish topcoats with a VOC content no greater than the limits specified below:
