About Profile

This candidate is a highly experienced Senior Paint Sprayer with more than 20 years working within automotive accident repair and refinishing environments. Their background includes manufacturer-approved bodyshop experience, ATA accreditation and senior-level refinishing responsibilities across busy automotive repair operations.

Fully qualified to Level 3 in Paint Spraying and previously ATA accredited, they have extensive experience carrying out vehicle refinishing, dent repair preparation, filler work, priming and final topcoat application to high industry standards. They are highly confident working within fast-paced accident repair environments where productivity, quality and attention to detail are essential.

A major strength is their broad refinishing knowledge and consistency of work quality.
