• Surface Preparation: Degrease, sand, mask, and blast valve surfaces to ensure proper coating adhesion.
• Equipment Operation: Set up and maintain HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure), airless, and conventional spray systems.
• Coating Application: Apply primers, epoxies, urethanes, and zinc-rich coatings according to specific micron (thickness) requirements.
• Technical Compliance: Read and interpret blueprints, work orders, and Paint Specification Sheets to ensure the correct coating system is used for each project.
• Quality Control: Use wet/dry film thickness gauges to verify coating depth and perform visual inspections for runs, sags, or "holidays" (missed spots).
• Safety & Maintenance: Handle hazardous materials (solvents, thinners) according to SDS guidelines and perform daily cleaning of spray booths and guns.
