Lead Painter / Finisher — Job Call

MadeFirst West is looking for a Lead Painter / Finisher to help lead and strengthen our finish department in Los Angeles.

We’re looking for someone with a deep bag of finish experience across scenic, theming, automotive, display, and custom fabrication work — someone who can step in, take ownership of the paint department, lead a small team, work closely with production, and help bring more consistency, quality, and efficiency to how we finish projects.

This role is for someone who knows how to:

create great finishes across a wide range of materials and project types
lead other finishers with clarity and confidence
efficiently navigate digital tools like slack and g-suite for communication and project reviews
work closely with PMs, production, and builders
build systems, not just beautiful surfaces
stay flexible when fast-moving projects shift
keep quality high without slowing the whole shop down

Our work lives in the world of experiential fabrication, brand activations, scenic environments, themed builds, pop-ups, displays, and custom installations, so range matters.

We’re especially interested in candidates with experience in:

scenic paint and faux finishing
theming and immersive/environmental finishes
auto body-style prep and finishing
spraying/rolling/brushing clear coats, specialty coatings, and custom treatments
finish sampling, color matching, QC, and onsite touch-up/install support
leading small teams and managing finish workflow
willing to travel

If that sounds like you, we’d love to connect.

Onsite / Install Support

Travel for installs, touch-ups, and field finish work as needed
Prepare finish kits and touch-up kits for installs and strikes
Help identify and resolve finish issues onsite quickly and professionally
Represent the department well in fast-paced, client-facing environments when needed

Department Standards / Upkeep

Help maintain a safe, clean, and functional finish area
Ensure proper PPE, spraying, and safety practices are followed

Ability to interpret renderings, drawings, finish callouts, and design intent
Ability to work in a fast-paced fabrication environment with shifting priorities
Willingness to work overtime and travel for installs when needed
Ability to lift 50 lbs, use ladders, and work physically as required

Preferred

Scenic or themed entertainment background
Auto body or specialty coating experience
Experience building finish samples and finish documentation
Comfort working cross-functionally with PMs, production, and shop leads
Experience helping train or mentor junior finishers

What Success Looks Like

Finish expectations are understood earlier and communicated more clearly
Quality stays high across a wide range of projects
Finishers are better aligned, supported, and directed
The department becomes more efficient and less reactive
Onsite finish support is prepared, professional, and dependable

Tone / Fit

We’re looking for someone who is:

hands-on
highly capable
low ego
detail-oriented
adaptable
solutions-minded
strong with both craft and people
