• Remove old coatings by stripping with solvents, heat, sanding, wire brushing, or water and abrasive blasting
• Prepare surfaces for covering by cleaning, filling nail holes and cracks, and sanding rough spots
• Apply an undercoat primer or sealer before painting, or apply sizing before wallpapering
• Match specified colours by using premixed paints, or mixing colour and thinning and drying additives
• Use brushes, rollers or spray guns to apply liquid coatings such as paint, stain or varnish to surfaces of wood, metal, brick, concrete, plaster, stucco or stone
• Apply finishes that are sponged, ragged and layered
