Weight painting is a way of assigning weights to vertices in a mesh, so that when the mesh is deformed, the vertices move in a way that is influenced by the weight values. This can be used to create smooth transitions between different areas of a mesh, or to make certain areas of a mesh move more than others.
Weight painting can be used to mirror weights across a mesh. This is useful when you want to create a symmetrical mesh, or when you want to paint weights on one half of a mesh and then mirror them to the other half.
To mirror weights across a mesh, select the mesh, then go to the Weight Paint tab in the Properties window. In the Mirror Weight Paint section, select the axis you want to mirror across, then click the Mirror Weight Paint button. The weights on the mesh will be mirrored across the selected axis.

Q: How do you mirror paint weights in blender?
A: There is no one definitive answer to this question, as there are a variety of ways to mirror paint weights in Blender, depending on your specific needs. One way to mirror paint weights is to use the Mirror Paint Weight tool, which can be found in the Tools tab of the Tool Shelf (press T to open the Tool Shelf). With this tool active, you can click on one side of a mesh to paint the weights on the opposite side. Another way to mirror paint weights is to use the Mirror Modifier, which can be found in the Modifiers tab of the Properties panel (press N to open the Properties panel). With this modifier active, you can paint the weights on one side of the mesh, and they will be automatically mirrored to the other side.
