Painter

Spray paint and apply specialty coatings for vehicles and defense-related equipment, using materials such as enamel, lacquer, and vinyl. Mix, thin, and adjust paints to achieve required finish, thickness, and camouflage patterns, including crinkle, nonskid, rubber, and fluorescent touch-up effects. Read technical manuals and work requirements to select correct colors and markings, maintain spray equipment, and perform surface inspections and safety-focused application.
