We are looking for an experienced Painter to join our custom metal fabrication shop on a part-time basis. This position is a great opportunity for an experienced painter who already works full-time—such as at an automotive body shop, industrial painting operation, or similar business—and is looking to pick up additional hours.

The right candidate will have hands-on experience painting metal and be comfortable working independently to produce a high-quality, professional finish on custom-fabricated metalwork.

• Prepare fabricated metal surfaces for painting, including cleaning, sanding, grinding, masking, and surface preparation
• Apply epoxy-based paints and DTM (Direct-to-Metal) paints
• Apply primers, coatings, and finishes using spray equipment
• Paint a variety of custom metal components and finished products
• Inspect work for proper coverage, consistency, adhesion, and overall finish quality
• Identify and correct imperfections, runs, sags, overspray, and other finish defects
• Perform touch-ups and rework as necessary
• Properly clean and maintain spray guns, hoses, and painting equipment
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe painting area
• Follow product specifications, mixing ratios, application requirements, and shop quality standards
• Work independently while maintaining production schedules and quality expectations

Previous professional painting experience is required.

Candidates must have hands-on experience with:

• Epoxy-based paints
• DTM (Direct-to-Metal) paints
• Spray application equipment
• Metal surface preparation
• Mixing and applying industrial coatings

Experience in an automotive body shop, industrial painting operation, architectural metal, custom fabrication, or similar environment is strongly preferred.

• Strong attention to detail and pride in workmanship
• Ability to consistently produce a clean, professional finish
• Ability to recognize surface and finish imperfections
• Ability to follow coating manufacturer's specifications and application procedures
• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
• Dependable and punctual
• Organized and able to manage time effectively
• Safety-conscious when working with paints, solvents, and other chemicals
• Able to work nights and weekends on a consistent basis
• Comfortable working in a hands-on metal fabrication shop environment

We're looking for someone who knows how to paint metal and can hit the ground running.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who already has a full-time painting position and wants to pick up additional hours in the evenings and/or on weekends. If you currently work in an automotive body shop, industrial paint shop, or similar environment and have experience with epoxy and DTM coatings, this could be a great fit.

Our work is custom and often one-of-a-kind, so the quality of the finish matters. We need someone who takes pride in their work and can produce a professional finish without requiring extensive supervision.

Pay: $25–$30/hour depending on experience.
