1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

I'm an apprentice painter so I prep cars for primer and then apply foundation materials, like primers and etch primer, adhesion promoters. I don't do too much painting yet but I get the chance to shadow my boss and see paint being applied, I do get to paint at college though, we apply paints and practice spraying techniques.
