Painter

A painter is responsible for applying paint, coatings, and varnishes to various surfaces such as walls, buildings, furniture, or vehicles. They prepare surfaces by cleaning and sanding them, selecting the appropriate paint or coating, and then applying it using brushes, rollers, or spray equipment. Painters must ensure that the finish meets quality standards and that the paint adheres properly. They may also be responsible for mixing colors, matching existing paintwork, and repairing damaged or peeling paint. Painters must have a good eye for detail, be able to work independently or as part of a team, and follow safety guidelines.
