A typical day

7am start. Cover the floors, tape the edges, fill holes and sand. Prime, then two coats: cut the edges by brush, roll the rest. On a condo tower it is the same unit layout over and over, fast. On an industrial job you might spend the morning blasting rust off steel and the afternoon in a respirator spraying epoxy. Clean the brushes, load the van, home by 4.
