Aerospace painter
An aerospace painter performs all the operations of preparation, treatments and finishes that are necessary on metallic surfaces.

The following various processes can be used: etching treatment, sanding, quenching, polishing, etc in order to apply layers of paint, lacquer, varnish, etc on elementary parts or assemblies.

These operations are very important as the paint or other protective layers assure the parts protection against outside corrosive elements.

The painting operation offers a part its final appearance: it has to be well looked after.
