Summary
Specialized profession that applies lacquer paint using a spray gun to metal products, machine parts, and similar items.
Description
Lacquer spray painters handle the task of spraying lacquer paint using a spray gun onto automotive parts, industrial machine components, metal products, and the like. First, they grind and degrease the surface using sandpaper or sandblasting, and protect painting areas with masking. Next, they mix and dilute the paint, then spray evenly at appropriate pressure and distance inside the painting booth. After drying in an oven or at room temperature, they inspect paint film thickness and color tone to confirm quality. Safety and health management, including organic solvent poisoning prevention measures and ventilation equipment checks, is also important.
Future Outlook
With the increasing quality and diversification of automobiles and machinery products, demand for precise spray painting technology is expected to remain stable. On the other hand, strengthened environmental regulations are promoting a shift to water-based paints and alternative technologies, making the acquisition of related skills important in the future.
