Paint Mixing & Application: Mix paints to match OEM specifications, apply primer, and use spray guns or airbrushes to apply finish coats.

Drying & Curing: Use infrared or high-heat lamps to speed up drying processes.
Equipment Maintenance: Maintain and clean spray guns, air compressors, and other tools.

Strong attention to detail and ability to match colors precisely.
Knowledge of automotive body repair processes and engine component materials.
Experience with automotive painting standards and OEM color charts.
Ability to work in a fast-paced, safety-conscious environment.
Typical Work Environment:
