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

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.
