Summary
Manufacturing technician who applies rust prevention and painting to metal sheets such as tin sheets for roofs and exterior walls, improving rust resistance, durability, and aesthetics.
Description
Tin sheet painters are specialists who perform surface preparation such as cleaning and polishing on metal tin sheets used for roofs and exterior walls, and apply rust-preventive primer and topcoat paint using spraying, brushes, or rollers. They appropriately manage paint types, dilution ratios, and painting conditions, measure paint film thickness to ensure quality. Work is carried out in factories or on-site, involving high-altitude work and heavy labor, requiring safety measures and machine operation skills. Due to paint splatter and handling of organic solvents, knowledge of safety and health is also required.
