Full Job Description

Industrial Painter – High-End Custom Finishes

Custom Signage Manufacturing

Location: Denver, CO
Full-Time | Top Pay for Top Talent

Build Work You’re Proud to Put Your Name On

We’re not looking for average painters.

We’re building a team of craftsmen who care about flawless finishes, tight tolerances, and high-visibility work used in premium commercial environments—think retail, trade show exhibits, signage and architectural feature elements.

If you take pride in laying down a glass-smooth finish, dialing in your gun, and hitting color and sheen specs without rework—we want to talk.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Spray high-end finishes on metal, plastics, and composite substrates
Operate in a professional spray booth environment with proper airflow, filtration, and lighting
Use HVLP and/or air-assisted systems to achieve consistent, defect-free finishes
Mix coatings (urethane, acrylic, epoxy systems) with precision
Execute & guide full prep process: sanding, cleaning, masking, priming
Inspect your own work—because you care about quality before it leaves your booth
Identify and correct defects like a pro (runs, orange peel, fisheyes, dry spray, etc.)
Work alongside a production team that moves fast and expects the same from you

What Separates You From the Pack

You don’t just “paint”—you control the outcome
You can adjust fluid, fan, and air pressure without guessing
You understand how temperature, humidity, and substrate impact finish quality
You hit consistent color, sheen, and mil thickness
You minimize rework because you get it right the first time

What You Need to Bring

3–5+ years in industrial, automotive, aerospace, cabinetry, or similar high-finish environments
Proven experience spraying in a controlled booth setting (not brush/roller work)
Strong knowledge of multi-step coating systems
Ability to read specs and execute without constant supervision
High standards—this is not a “good enough” shop

Bonus Points If You Have

Experience with custom fabrication, retail fixtures, signage or exhibit builds
Color matching or working with custom finishes and specialty coatings
Exposure to Lean manufacturing or production efficiency standards

Why Top Painters Choose This Role

Work that gets noticed – not hidden behind walls
Clean, organized, well-equipped paint environment
Leadership that understands finishing is a skilled trade—not an afterthought
Competitive pay that reflects your skill level
Opportunity to grow as we scale

Confidential Search

We’re hiring confidentially. Full company details will be shared with qualified candidates.

Pay: $25.00 - $30.00 per hour

Benefits:

401(k)
