Job Description

Car Restoration Guys is a specialty restoration and resto-mod shop in Wilmington, NC focused on iconic American classics — International Scouts, early Ford Broncos, Dodge Power Wagons, and similar vehicles. We do this work the right way: full metal prep, proper primers, show-quality finishes, and builds our clients are proud to drive for decades. We're a small, serious team and we're growing. The Role We're looking for a senior Paint & Body Technician who takes real pride in their craft. This isn't a collision shop — you'll be working on frame-off restorations and custom builds where the quality bar is high and the work is visible. You'll own the paint process from metal prep through final color and clear, and you'll work closely with our fabrication and mechanical teams on full builds. What You'll Do ∙ Perform body work including rust repair, lead or filler work, straightening, and panel fitting ∙ Execute full paint processes: epoxy primer, body filler, sealer, base coat, and clear coat ∙ Mix and match period-correct and custom colors ∙ Wet sand and polish to show or driver-quality finish standards ∙ Collaborate with fab and mechanical techs on restoration sequencing ∙ Maintain booth, equipment, and material inventory What We're Looking For ∙ 7+ years of experience in automotive paint and body, ideally with restoration or custom work ∙ Strong understanding of multi-stage paint systems and surface prep ∙ Experience with classic or vintage vehicles a significant plus ∙ Ability to work independently and manage your process on long-cycle jobs ∙ Detail-oriented — you notice what others miss Compensation & Benefits ∙ $28-$42/hr depending on experience ∙ Full-time, Monday-Friday ∙ Paid time off ∙ Shop environment built around quality, not volume To Apply Apply here on Indeed or email us directly at restore@carrestorationguy.com. Tell us about a restoration or custom paint job you're proud of.
