Full job description

About Lunaz

At Lunaz, we design, engineer, and manufacture upcycled electric vehicles (UEVs), breathing new life into the world’s most iconic classic cars. By marrying timeless coachbuilt British automotive craftsmanship from the 1940s to 1990s with advanced EV powertrains, we redefine sustainable luxury. Our paint shop operates to concours-level standards, ensuring every bare-metal restoration achieves a flawless, mirror finish worthy of automotive history.

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced and detail-obsessed Paint Preparation Specialist to join our elite bodyshop team. In this role, you will be responsible for the foundational stage of our finish process—transforming bare metal and restored bodywork into pristine, flawless surfaces ready for topcoat application.

Working on rare, hand-shaped aluminum and steel panels across marques such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Jaguar, and Aston Martin, you will play a critical role in delivering the show-stopping aesthetic Lunaz is known for.

Key ResponsibilitiesSurface Preparation & Blocking

Perform high-precision sanding, panel blocking, featheredging, and filler work to eliminate surface imperfections on hand-shaped classic panels.
Work extensively with mixed-metal structures (hand-formed aluminum and steel coachwork) requiring specialized etching, primer selection, and anti-corrosion treatments.
Apply and block high-build primers, guide coats, and epoxy barriers to achieve laser-straight panel alignment and reflection clarity.

Masking & Pre-Paint Detail

Precision-mask exposed chassis components, EV battery integration points, bespoke trim, and high-voltage wiring paths to prevent overspray.
Execute thorough panel cleaning, degreasing, and tacking prior to booth entry.
Inspect bodywork under specialized lighting to spot sub-surface flaws before paint application.

Post-Paint Finishing & Quality Control

Perform denibbing, wet sanding (color sanding), compounding, and multi-stage machine polishing to achieve concours glass-like finishes.
Perform quality checks against Lunaz’s strict surface continuity standards before sign-off to assembly.

Workshop & Safety Operations

Maintain a pristine, dust-free prep bay environment.
Safely store, mix, and dispose of paint materials in compliance with COSHH regulations and environmental standards.
Collaborate closely with coachbuilders, panelbeaters, and master painters to ensure seamless workflow across the restoration pipeline.

Skills & Qualifications

Experience: 5+ years in high-end restored body preparation, vehicle restoration, or luxury/bespoke coachbuilding.
Technical Skill: Mastery of hand-blocking, guide coating, and substrate prep on both aluminum and steel.
Precision: Deep understanding of panel gapping, body lines, and how light reflects across curved coachbuilt bodywork.
Material Knowledge: Expertise with modern epoxy primers, etch primers, body fillers, and high-build coatings applied to vintage metals.
Quality Mindset: Uncompromising attention to detail; high standard of pride in surface preparation.
Desirable: Experience with vintage/classic British vehicles or ultra-luxury bespoke manufacturing.

What We Offer

Bespoke Projects: Work on some of the world's most desirable, iconic automobiles.
Modern Facilities: Access to modern prep bays, extraction systems, and spray booths set within an advanced EV technology environment.
Career Growth: Opportunities to advance into Master Painting, Workshop Management, or Specialist Finishing roles.
Competitive Package: Competitive salary, company benefits, and a collaborative team culture passionate about automotive heritage and electrification.

Pay: £35,000.00-£45,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
On-site parking
Referral programme

Experience:

Relevant body prep or body restoration: 5 years (required)

Work authorisation:

United Kingdom (required)

Work Location: In person
