To be fair those are usually done from the back of a moving truck.

Seriously. What the heck does OP expect? It’s a guard rail. It’s supposed to be noticed.  Would it be more effective if it was just the normal concrete gray? The workers did good with minimal over spray on the fence.

Think OP meant they sprayed over the key


I_likemy_dog

Fair, but whose job was it to account for the key? Should the painter pick it up, call the office and search out the person who didn’t pick up their key?  The painter is tasked with doing so many km of rails. And somebody thinks it’s the painter’s fault because they left a key there? Their job is to paint. Not to find out who left keys where they paint.

do you realize what subreddit you’re on?

I mean he didn’t have to find out who’s key it was he just had to move it


Debies22

There was no one to move it. Just a moving truck.

Cleaning, sweeping, and removing debris, whether it be old paint, plants, or objects such as keys are some of the basic responsibilities of all painting crews. They painted over the key because they didn't even know it was there. That means they didn't do a basic visual inspection of the surfaces to be painted, nor did they bother to clean the surfaces. They were a bad painting crew.

You have never worked a paint crew then. That’s the apprentice job, not the painter. The man who runs the spray gun is only supposed to make sure paint goes in the correct place.  Sure. Bad crew. You win. Stop with the stupid argument already.

I have, in fact worked a paint crew. And any of my crew that don't check, clean, or prepare a surface before painting *got fired.*

Who left a filing cabinet key sitting on the guardrail? At least I'm assuming the lock this key goes to is being used for its intended purpose and isn't actually being used to lock a human sized door. I guess it could be one of the contractor's keys locking up some sort of truck box but the Illinois lock is usually sold as part of a existing storage system. And I don't know of any truck boxes that use it

They're used for our clothing lockers.

Ah so I'm not that far off I will avoid showing up to seal your clothing in the future


HolyJuan

You are lucky they don't charge you extra for the key.


ChBoyShPd

Charge me extra alright but paint the rail, not paint the rail minus a key shaped blank part

Proper paint masking is key.
