Interview Questions to Hire Painter

Painters affect the appearance and roughness of buildings, ceilings, and other constructions with paint, tools, and substances such as plaster. They may work alone or in collaboration with other painters or maintenance workers.

In addition to using a number of equipment to paint surfaces, the painter will be required to match shades using color theory principles, pay attention to written and spoken directions, and use a variety of instruments. Other duties include performing minor repairs and selecting appropriate paints and varnishes.
