This paper presents a suitable technological solution to a problem of spray painting of high reflective paint. Recently, high reflective paint receives attention to reduce the temperature raise on the outside of large containers or storage tanks, and to maintain the quality of the material stored inside them. On the other hand, to coat the tall and large storage tank with high reflective paint often place the skilled workers of painting in a dangerous situation. For the skilled workers of painting who conduct washing with high-pressured water and/or spray painting outside the tank, the problem is height place working which is difficult to keep balance for sudden. This paper is aimed to solve the problem of height place working in spray painting outside of storage tanks by replacing a skilled worker with water washing and/or spray painting robot which can be controlled by the remote control from an operator on the ground. The most important factors for considering the suitable kinds of robot with respect to its application are described in this study. The driving mechanism and controller of the developed robot are explained in the present work. The ideas for developing the robot with desired working abilities can be followed according to this study.
