Would it be improper for a self employed witness to be given the part of painting walls at a night clubs refurbishment ?

Many or most Jehovah's Witnesses would see little or no reason to avoid painting work at a night club refurbishment. Of course, if such work bothers the conscience of the Christian, he is wise to listen to its direction.

That is an excellent question. What goes on at the night club? Is it just a place of entertainment? Drinks, music and dancing? Or is it a strip club? Topless dancers? Gambling? Is this a one-time painting deal or will it be an on-going assignment.
Many factors need to be considered before a scriptural response can be given.

This could go either way.
Your own Bible-trained conscience is a great indicator.
You won't be there when its open for business.
Do you want to b a contributor to the making of such a place?
U need $ to eat.
ask Jehovah, in prayer.
Look in His word the Bible for examples.

Not a JW Christian instead.
What's in your heart. If you see this as work and something you have no part in where is the sin?
If you visualize dancing girls and getting drunk and reviling. Well then.
Can you go to work without sinning in your heart?

That is clearly an individual basis matter that is also clearly a matter of conciense.

I am a witness of Jesus so I am not going to give an official answer to you.
Why would you not do that?
