Synopsis

Imagine a world without painters and decorators. Wood, steel and brick would rot, rust and crumble away. Towns would be drab places to live in; homes, shops and factories would be dull and colourless. Painting and decorating is important work. It can also be a very satisfying career for you. Good painters and decorators are highly-skilled men and women. They move around from place to place, working outside and indoors, using hundreds of different materials and many kinds of paint and equipment. Their work ranges from intricate, delicate brushwork to huge spraying jobs; from engraving and gilding to hanging wallpaper. This book explains all you need to know about qualifications and training, and about the excellent chances of promotion and setting up your own firm. With over seventy photo- graphs, it displays most of the various jobs you might do. A painter and decorator's way of life may be just what you are looking for.
