The Spray Painters Australia facebook page community is banding together to raise money to bring one of their regular contributers over to Australia from Ghana.

Samuel Appiah is an enthusiastic young painter from Acra, West Africa where the set up is not quite as sophisticated as it is for his Australian counterparts.

Russ Hill of Spray Painters Australia told Paint & Panel: “Samuel works on a dirt floor and sprays his base coat out in the open. He hires a spray booth by the hour where he applies the clear.

“SPA is undertaking a paint trial with five of our best spray painters trying out a different company each day, later on in the year. When we were recruiting and because Samuel is so popular with the SPA community lots of people suggested he be part of the paint trial.

 “I thought if we can raise the money to bring him over what a life changing experience it would be for him.”

The group has raised $1300 out of the $6000 needed. If you would like to help Appiah you can contribute here.
