transport equipment painter
Transport equipment painters use painting machines and hand tools to coat individual parts and to paint the surface of all types of transport equipment such as cars, buses, boats, aircraft, motorcycles and railway cars. They prepare the surface of the pieces for the paint and apply the coat. Transport equipment painters can perform industrial painting or individual customisation. They may also remove or repair painting errors such as scratches.

Zone 2: Some Preparation Needed

Job Zone is O*NET's rating of how much education, experience and training an occupation typically needs — a property of the work, not of anyone doing it.
