Where can it take me?

Spray painters usually work for crash repair firms and motor vehicle manufacturers. Some are self-employed, usually in partnership with panel beaters. There are opportunities for experienced vehicle painters may become representatives for paint manufacturers or assessors for insurance companies.

What can I expect?

Working in the spray painting trade you could expect to carry out the following tasks:

• Remove rough spots on vehicle panels and sand surfaces by hand or with electric/air sanders
• Mix and match paint so that it is similar to the existing paint shade, or select pre-mixed paint
• Apply primer and finishing coasts using spray guns and rub down surfaces between coats
• Touch-up paintwork and apply polish to vehicles
• Remove masking papers and wax and polish finished paintwork
• Paint signs or artwork on vehicles
• Treat vehicles with rust-proofing chemicals
