painters
They apply coats
Painters are people who paint—either artists who create pictures with pigments on canvas, paper, or other surfaces, or workers who apply paint to buildings, walls, and other structures.
The two uses rarely overlap: The gallery featured local painters versus We hired painters to do the exterior.
A painter is also a rope at a boat's bow for tying up.
