Summary
I have worked in the field of painting since 2021, as I have been exposed to many forms of painting, as I have painted indoors, outdoors, on cars and even on buildings. I have also mastered the art of applying vinyl as I have 5 years of experience in vinyl printing and applications on almost all surfaces. I excel at detail painting and base coats on signs, walls, ceilings and other surface. I am in my senior year of college learning to operate my own business.
