Paint Booth Operator - General Labor

Summary: Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between conventional liquid paint and powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin."Duties and responsibilities of our Paint Line Powder Coater will include:

• Operation of the powder coat application system
