Summary
A profession responsible for painting the interior and exterior of buildings to provide aesthetic appeal and protective functions.
Description
Building painters handle a series of painting processes such as surface preparation, masking, primer, and topcoat for the exteriors and interiors of houses and buildings. They remove old paint films and dirt through high-pressure washing and scraping, mix paints suited to the materials. Using brushes, rollers, and spray guns, they achieve uniform finishes and realize required textures such as glossy or matte. Safety measures using scaffolding assembly and high-place work equipment are also important. Work is conducted in teams, following instructions from foremen or site managers. Process management adapted to weather and seasonal changes, and selection of highly durable and waterproof paints are required.
