A Paint Mixer and Colour Matcher opportunity is open in the automotive trade, based at Linbro Park in Johannesburg. The vacancy is offered through MPRTC Recruitment, a recruitment agency with offices across South Africa’s provinces. If you have years of hands-on experience mixing automotive paint and an eye for colour that customers can rely on, this role deserves a close look. Applications close on 6 November 2026, so there is not much time to wait.
About the company and the work
MPRTC Recruitment is a recruitment agency that places permanent and temporary staff, with recruitment personnel specialising in fields including hospitality, financial, retail, engineering and mining roles. The agency has a network of offices across the country, including Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Limpopo, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, North West, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape. This vacancy is for a paint mixer and colour matcher working in a high-volume automotive environment at Linbro Park, Johannesburg.
Role details and duties
In this role, you will mix and accurately colour-match automotive and light industrial paints using computerised formulation systems in a high-volume environment. That means taking a customer’s sample or specification, working out the right formulation, mixing the paint to an exact match, and checking the result carefully before it goes out. Accuracy matters here: a shade that is slightly off is a job that has to be done again, so the work calls for patience, a steady hand and a genuine eye for colour.
One location note: the advert header lists the location as East Rand, while the vacancy title places the role at Linbro Park, Johannesburg. The city field for this post uses East Rand, following the advert header, and applicants should confirm the exact work location in the original advert before applying.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the original advert are listed here:
- Minimum 5 years’ hands-on experience as a Paint Mixer / Colour Matcher.
- Automotive paint mixing and colour matching essential.

- Able to work independently and as part of a team.
The advert states no separate experience level label, so none is shown in the job details for this post.
