Our requirements:
1. At least 3 years of professional experience in a high-end wood finishing or cabinet painting environment.
2. Deep understanding of wood anatomy, grain raising, and how different solvents interact with various coatings.
3. Proficiency in operating HVLP and airless spray equipment, including cleaning and maintaining the guns.
4. A keen eye for color and finish quality, with the patience to achieve a flawless result.
5. Strict adherence to safety protocols, including the proper use of respirators and ventilation systems.
