My Job
Painting
My job is painting various parts like eye bolts and struts for the manifold of Rolls Royce T56 aircraft engines.
I use a specialized paint sprayer that has a specific compression rate to make sure that the paint goes on evenly and at the right depth so air flow isn't affected.
We follow manuals that give us specifications about which sections need paint, what kind of paint, how thick a coat should be and if it needs curing.
