Job Description

Straight panels, perfect colour match: that is the job at this independent panel shop in Randburg. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at an independent panel shop in Randburg. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

The work, day to day

  • Mask up vehicles properly to keep overspray off glass and trim
  • Mix paint colours with a spectrophotometer and the mixing scheme
  • Cut and polish to remove dust marks and orange peel
  • Apply filler, sand and prime to a smooth, ready surface
  • Repair dents with hammers, dollies and a stud welder
  • Spray base coat and 2K clear coat in the booth

What you need

  • Good colour vision and a steady hand
  • Knowledge of spray booth safety and respirator use
  • Panel beating or spray painting trade test, or at least 4 years of proven work
  • Physically able to stand, bend and kneel for long periods
  • Experience with modern waterborne or high-solids paint systems

Nice if you have

  • ADAS camera and sensor recalibration after repairs
  • Measuring jig and electronic measuring experience
  • Aluminium and high-strength steel repair training

What's in it for you

  • Full respirator and spray suit supplied
  • Clean, modern booth and prep area
  • Paint supplier training courses

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ID copy certified at a police station plus trade certificate or references.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Say which paint systems you have used, like waterborne base coat with a 2K clear. Body shops care about this.
