Paint Residue Impact on Namaz Validity

Question

If someone working with paint did wudu and read Namaz(Salah/ prayer) and then later found out that he had a small amount of paint on his hand. Does he have to repeat his Namaz?

Answer

If the individual’s job involves paint, then in that scenario if he didn’t notice the paint on his hand and read Namaz (Salah/ prayer) his Namaz is valid. But when he notices the paint he must remove the paint for the next Namaz.
