Prepare PaintsBefore starting a job, Industrial Painters prepare the paint they will use. They use measurement equipment such as viscosity cups, thickness gauges and gloss gauges to check the makeup of the paint, and use their understanding of chemistry to mix the appropriate compounds for the job.
