u/s 44AD it is given that it is applicable for civil contractor only, and from my point of view painting contract should not be covered u/s 44AD.
It may include construction of shopping mall sites, golf courses, residential developments, power plant sites, flood control projects, and hospital sites.

no painting work should not covered under 44AD upto the assessment year 2009-10 but from 2010-11 the presumptive sections will apply to all.
