Main Duties
A Paint Sprayer in the automotive industry would be required to carry out minor body repairs and apply both decorative finishes and protective coatings to all motor vehicles. A Paint Sprayer is normally needed when a customer wants a new colour on their vehicle, or if they have had a minor collision and need the bodywork restoring.
This is normally done in different stages which are listed below:
- Preparing the right equipment such as spray guns, paint brushes etc
- Preparing colours to ensure they are mixed correctly and meet the wants and needs of the customer.
- Preparing the car so it is ready to paint on. This is done by removing rust, filling in cavities and dents and covering areas so the colours don't run and mix.
- Applying each coat of paint separately. This is done to enhance the finished product and ensure it looks professional, each layer needs to dry before applying the next coat.
- Reviewing the job for quality control and to make sure the customer is happy with the outcome.
