My Job
Before painting
There are different steps involved in preparing the parts for painting.
Cleaning
Before I paint the parts they're cleaned in the cleaning area to remove grease and dirt that would affect the paint.
Masking
After I get the cleaned part I cover or 'mask' the sections that aren't supposed to get painted. I follow detailed instructions from a manual to work out what should and shouldn't get painted.
