Painting and decorating involves applying paint, varnish and
other finishes to surfaces such as walls to protect, maintain and
decorate buildings.
Painters should have an eye for colour and shape, as well as
planning skills to ensure a job is completed efficiently. They
should also be expert in decorating techniques, both traditional
and modern. One of the most recent, important tools to be developed
in this sector is the spray gun, which is powered by a motor to
pump paint out as a fine spray.
Health and safety is very important in this sector and painters
should be knowledgeable of regulations and adhere to them.
