AUTO BODY PAINTER

MAKE THE REPAIR DISAPPEAR.

Bow, NH

$30–$41/Hour, Based on Experience

Full-Time | Benefits Eligible

Cars

• Trucks
• Trailers
• Heavy Equipment HIRING NOW

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.

Experience Matters Here. AND YOUR PAY SHOULD REFLECT IT. $30–$41/HOUR.

Based On Experience & Skill. We’re looking for someone who knows the difference between a paint job that’s simply “done”… 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

Prepare vehicle and equipment surfaces for refinishing, including sanding, masking, priming, filling, and final prep.

Mix and match paint colors accurately using established color‑matching systems and formulas.

Apply primer, base coat, and clear coat using professional spray equipment.

Perform Complete Painting And Refinishing Work On

• Cars & Light‑Duty Vehicles
• Commercial Trucks
• Trailers
• Heavy Equipment

Blend panels and adjacent surfaces for a clean, consistent finish.

Inspect completed work for color accuracy, coverage, texture, blending, and overall finish quality.

Identify imperfections and make corrections when necessary.

Operate and maintain paint booths, spray guns, mixing equipment, and refinishing tools.

Follow proper flash times, application procedures, and product specifications.

Work closely with Body Shop Technicians, Estimators, and Shop Management to keep repairs moving.

Maintain accurate records of materials used and time spent on each job.

Keep the paint booth, mixing area, and workspaces clean, organized, and safe.

Properly store, label, handle, and dispose of paints, solvents, and related materials.

Follow All Applicable Company Safety Procedures And OSHA/EPA Requirements.

That Means

• Proper sanding
• Clean masking
• Correct primer application
• Proper filler work
• Surface inspection
• Contamination control
• Correct paint mixing
• Careful color matching
• Proper gun setup

THEN YOU SPRAY.

We want someone who understands the entire refinishing process — 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

“WHERE WAS IT REPAIRED?”

NOT EVERYTHING FITS IN THE “CAR” 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

• Passenger vehicles
• Light‑Duty trucks
• Commercial vehicles
• Heavy‑Duty trucks
• Trailers
• 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

• Proven experience as an Auto Body Painter / Refinish Technician
• Strong hands‑on automotive painting and refinishing skills
• Experience with surface preparation, sanding, masking, priming, and filling
• Strong knowledge of paint mixing and color‑matching systems
• Experience with blending techniques
• Confidence using spray guns and professional refinishing equipment
• Experience operating in a professional paint‑booth environment
• Strong understanding of primer, base coat, and clear coat application
• Ability to read and interpret paint codes and repair work orders
• Excellent attention to detail
• Commitment to producing high‑quality finished work
• Understanding of safe paint, solvent, and hazardous‑material handling
• Ability to properly use required PPE and respiratory protection

Even Better If You Have

• Commercial Truck Painting Experience
• Heavy Equipment Refinishing Experience
• Trailer Painting Experience
• Advanced Color‑Matching Experience
• Advanced Blending & Finish Correction Skills
• Additional Auto Body / Collision Repair Skills
• ASE Painting & Refinishing Certification
• Valid Driver’s License

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

PROFESSIONAL PAINTING MEANS PROFESSIONAL SAFETY. Paint and refinishing products demand respect.

We Expect Our Painters To Follow Proper Procedures Involving

• Respirators
• Eye Protection
• Protective Clothing
• Ventilation Systems
• Paints & Solvents
• Hazardous Materials
• 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.

Physical Requirements

This is a hands‑on trade.

You Should Be Comfortable

• Standing for extended periods
• Bending, kneeling, and reaching
• Working around vehicles and large equipment
• Lifting and moving up to 50 lbs. as needed
• Working inside a paint‑booth environment
• Wearing required respiratory protection for extended periods
• Performing precise spray and detail work requiring good manual dexterity

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.

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.

PAINTER → REFINISHING EXPERT → GO‑TO TECH → LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY

Bring the skill. Bring the eye. Bring the pride. WE’LL BRING THE WORK. THE FULL PACKAGE

Compensation & Benefits

$30–$41/Hour, Based On Experience. Full-Time Employment.

Medical, Dental & Vision Plans. Life & Disability Plans. AFLAC. 401(k) With Company Match. Paid Time Off. Paid Holidays.

Professional Paint & Refinishing Environment. Cars, Trucks, Trailers & Heavy Equipment. Well‑Maintained Facility, Tools & Paint Booth Equipment. Opportunity To Develop Your Skills. Career Growth & Advancement Opportunities. Stable Work With a Growing Operation.

PREP IT. MIX IT. SPRAY IT. MAKE IT DISAPPEAR.

We’re looking for a painter who sees the details other people miss. Someone who knows that “pretty 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.
