🎨 AUTO BODY PAINTER

MAKE THE REPAIR DISAPPEAR.

πŸ“ Bow, NH

πŸ’° $30–$41/Hour, Based on Experience

πŸ› οΈ Full-Time | Benefits Eligible

πŸš› Cars

  • Trucks
  • Trailers
  • Heavy Equipment 🚨 HIRING NOW

πŸ”₯ ANYONE CAN SEE THE DAMAGE.

YOUR JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN’T SEE THE REPAIR.

Straight panels are only half the job.

The final finish is what everyone sees.

The color has to match.

The blend has to disappear.

The clear has to lay down right.

And when that vehicle rolls out of the shop...

THE REPAIR SHOULD LOOK LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED.

We’re looking for an experienced Auto Body Painter to join our collision and body repair team in Bow, New Hampshire.

This is a hands-on refinishing position working on everything from everyday vehicles to commercial trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment.

If you take pride in color matching, prep, blending, spraying, and delivering a finish you’d put your name on...

WE WANT TO SEE YOUR WORK.

πŸ’° Experience Matters Here.

AND YOUR PAY SHOULD REFLECT IT.

πŸ”₯ $30–$41/HOUR

Based On Experience & Skill

We’re looking for someone who knows the difference between a paint job that’s simply β€œdone”...

AND ONE THAT’S DONE RIGHT.

If you can prep properly, match difficult colors, blend cleanly, lay down consistent finishes, and produce quality work across different types of vehicles and equipment...

THAT SKILL HAS VALUE.

🎯 YOUR MISSION:

PREP IT RIGHT.

MATCH IT RIGHT.

SPRAY IT RIGHT.

MAKE IT LOOK FACTORY.

The painter is one of the last people to touch the repair.

That means your work is what the customer sees.

A beautiful body repair can be ruined by bad prep.

A perfect panel can be ruined by a bad color match.

A great repair can be ruined by a rushed finish.

DETAILS MATTER.

We’re looking for a painter who understands that quality starts before the spray gun ever comes out.

🎨 What You’ll Do

πŸ”Ή Prepare vehicle and equipment surfaces for refinishing, including sanding, masking, priming, filling, and final prep

πŸ”Ή Mix and match paint colors accurately using established color-matching systems and formulas

πŸ”Ή Apply primer, base coat, and clear coat using professional spray equipment

πŸ”Ή Perform complete painting and refinishing work on:

πŸš— Cars & Light-Duty Vehicles

πŸš› Commercial Trucks

βš™οΈ Trailers

πŸ—οΈ Heavy Equipment

πŸ”Ή Blend panels and adjacent surfaces for a clean, consistent finish

πŸ”Ή Inspect completed work for color accuracy, coverage, texture, blending, and overall finish quality

πŸ”Ή Identify imperfections and make corrections when necessary

πŸ”Ή Operate and maintain paint booths, spray guns, mixing equipment, and refinishing tools

πŸ”Ή Follow proper flash times, application procedures, and product specifications

πŸ”Ή Work closely with Body Shop Technicians, Estimators, and Shop Management to keep repairs moving

πŸ”Ή Maintain accurate records of materials used and time spent on each job

πŸ”Ή Keep the paint booth, mixing area, and workspaces clean, organized, and safe

πŸ”Ή Properly store, label, handle, and dispose of paints, solvents, and related materials

πŸ”Ή Follow all applicable company safety procedures and OSHA/EPA requirements

🧠 GREAT PAINT STARTS BEFORE YOU SPRAY.

PREP IS EVERYTHING.

The final coat can only be as good as the surface underneath it.

That means:

βœ“ Proper sanding

βœ“ Clean masking

βœ“ Correct primer application

βœ“ Proper filler work

βœ“ Surface inspection

βœ“ Contamination control

βœ“ Correct paint mixing

βœ“ Careful color matching

βœ“ Proper gun setup

THEN YOU SPRAY.

We want someone who understands the entire refinishing process β€” not just the last 20 minutes of it.

🎨 COLOR MATCHING IS A SKILL.

We’re Looking For Someone Who Has It.

Paint code?

That’s the starting point.

The vehicle in front of you is what matters.

Age.

Sun exposure.

Previous repairs.

Panel orientation.

Metallics.

Pearls.

Variants.

THEY ALL MATTER.

A skilled painter knows when the formula needs adjustment and how to create a blend that makes the repair disappear.

CLOSE ENOUGH ISN’T THE GOAL.

THE GOAL IS:

β€œWHERE WAS IT REPAIRED?”

πŸš› NOT EVERYTHING FITS IN THE β€œCAR” CATEGORY.

One of the things that makes this opportunity different is the variety.

You won’t necessarily spend every day spraying the same type of quarter panel or bumper.

Our work can include:

πŸš— Passenger vehicles

πŸ›» Light-duty trucks

🚚 Commercial vehicles

πŸš› Heavy-duty trucks

βš™οΈ Trailers

πŸ—οΈ Heavy equipment

That means different sizes.

Different surfaces.

Different repair challenges.

Different finishes.

If you like variety and know how to adapt your process to the equipment in front of you, you’ll fit right in.

🎯 What We’re Looking For

YOU SHOULD BRING:

βœ“ Proven experience as an Auto Body Painter / Refinish Technician

βœ“ Strong hands-on automotive painting and refinishing skills

βœ“ Experience with surface preparation, sanding, masking, priming, and filling

βœ“ Strong knowledge of paint mixing and color-matching systems

βœ“ Experience with blending techniques

βœ“ Confidence using spray guns and professional refinishing equipment

βœ“ Experience operating in a professional paint-booth environment

βœ“ Strong understanding of primer, base coat, and clear coat application

βœ“ Ability to read and interpret paint codes and repair work orders

βœ“ Excellent attention to detail

βœ“ Commitment to producing high-quality finished work

βœ“ Understanding of safe paint, solvent, and hazardous-material handling

βœ“ Ability to properly use required PPE and respiratory protection

⭐ EVEN BETTER IF YOU HAVE:

πŸš› Commercial Truck Painting Experience

πŸ—οΈ Heavy Equipment Refinishing Experience

βš™οΈ Trailer Painting Experience

🎨 Advanced Color-Matching Experience

✨ Advanced Blending & Finish Correction Skills

πŸ”§ Additional Auto Body / Collision Repair Skills

πŸ† ASE Painting & Refinishing Certification

πŸͺͺ Valid Driver’s License

Commercial truck and heavy-equipment experience is especially valuable because we don’t just paint cars.

πŸ›‘οΈ PROFESSIONAL PAINTING MEANS PROFESSIONAL SAFETY.

Paint and refinishing products demand respect.

We expect our painters to follow proper procedures involving:

😷 Respirators

πŸ₯½ Eye Protection

πŸ₯Ό Protective Clothing

πŸ’¨ Ventilation Systems

πŸ§ͺ Paints & Solvents

⚠️ Hazardous Materials

πŸ”₯ Proper Storage & Disposal

You’ll be expected to follow applicable company procedures and OSHA and EPA requirements related to paint, solvents, fumes, and hazardous-material handling.

GREAT WORK SHOULD NEVER COME AT THE EXPENSE OF SAFETY.

πŸ’ͺ Physical Requirements

This is a hands-on trade.

You should be comfortable:

βœ“ Standing for extended periods

βœ“ Bending, kneeling, and reaching

βœ“ Working around vehicles and large equipment

βœ“ Lifting and moving up to 50 lbs. as needed

βœ“ Working inside a paint-booth environment

βœ“ Wearing required respiratory protection for extended periods

βœ“ Performing precise spray and detail work requiring good manual dexterity

πŸ”₯ YOUR NAME ISN’T ON THE REPAIR ORDER.

BUT YOUR REPUTATION IS ON THE FINISH.

Before a completed vehicle leaves the shop, ask yourself:

IS THE COLOR RIGHT?

IS THE BLEND CLEAN?

IS THE FINISH CONSISTENT?

IS THE CLEAR RIGHT?

WOULD I PUT MY NAME ON THIS?

If the answer is yes...

THAT’S THE KIND OF PAINTER WE WANT.

πŸš€ BUILD MORE THAN A PAINT JOB.

BUILD YOUR REPUTATION.

We want skilled people who take pride in their craft and want somewhere they can continue developing it.

There’s room here to sharpen your skills, take on more challenging work, become a go-to person in the shop, and grow as the operation grows.

✨ MAKE IT DISAPPEAR.

We’re looking for a painter who sees the details other people miss.

Someone who knows that β€œpretty close” isn’t a color match.

Someone who takes pride in watching a repaired vehicle roll out of the booth looking like the damage never happened.

If That’s How You Work...

WE WANT TO TALK.

πŸ‘‰ APPLY TODAY.

BRING YOUR SKILL. BRING YOUR EYE. BRING YOUR CRAFT.
