				spraying, etc.), and applying a protective finish. This classification includes
				the painting of scenery, by a contractor, in a shop or theater (if done by the

				sanding, etc., applying the lettering/illustrations by appropriate method (such
				as brushing, rolling, spraying, applying vinyl designs), and applying a
				protective finish. This classification includes making and applying vinyl
