Job description

Industrial Painter

Responsibilities and Duties

To accomplish their primary goal of painting and coating surfaces, Industrial Painters perform many tasks.

Clean and Prepare Surfaces

Industrial Painters must first prepare the surface they are going to paint. If there are previous finishes on the surface, they remove them using masking, grit blast, pressure washing, tool cleaning or chemical rinse. Then, they clean and smooth the surface and let it dry before painting.

Prepare Paints

Before starting a job, Industrial Painters prepare the paint they will use. They use measurement equipment such as viscosity cups, thickness gages and gloss gages to check the makeup of the paint, and use their understanding of chemistry to mix the appropriate compounds for the job. Many projects will require an epoxy paint application.

Apply Paint

Painters use a variety of techniques and tools to paint surfaces. Candidate may use spray equipment, airbrushes, stencils, rollers or brushes. Industrial painters must choose the best tool for the job at hand. Candidate must paint on primers, pre-finishes and finishing coats. Some Industrial Painters must use special safety equipment such as self-contained suits, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or protective eyewear.

Clean Work Areas

Maintain Equipment
