I’d go with this gig. You already like where you live, and there is opportunity for advancement.
Can't decide which job offer to take

Wouldn't painter job cause health risks in the long term?
Being around all those fumes from paint can't be good, even if you have a face mask and other protective gear
I feel like electrical can go a long way, but I'm not too familiar with aircraft painters

It's not not that easy to the point where you're going to make your decision based on what people here tell you. I would hope, anyway.
Those people know you, your thought processes, how you feel about things, and your life in general, and have your best interests in mind.
People here are just going to tell you what they think they would do, and/or what they wish they had done. "hit the gym, drink water, chase paper, and make your own burgers at home instead of going to McDonald's."
Listen to real people in real life.

That’s the messed up part. Chromate swab tests have come back positive in areas way outside the hot zones like break rooms and offices. A lot of these facilities have garbage airflow design or shared HVAC that doesn’t isolate the hot/cold zones right so it spreads. People think PPE in the paint booth is enough, but cross contamination is real and once that dust gets tracked out or goes airborne it ends up where it shouldn’t be.
Yeah so you just made your decision. You don't want to fukk up your health painting planes.

Haven't you been trying to break into IT? I would take the alarm tech job. It might led to a career working in the internet of things.
Unless they're really old, cameras, NVRs, access control systems, alarms, medical devices, etc. are more than likely connected to a network.
You can really get exposure to technical work that can't be outsourced or automated any time soon.
Damn this is tough. It certainly depends on your current financial situation. For those suggesting the electrician job, how long will it take to jump $30k in salary is the question here

Fort Worth and adjacent cities are cool in their on way, it's like another universe in DFW.
Folks are right, the long term health implications are worth considering. They could probably produce less harmful paints, but it would also probably cost more ....
Matter of fact @ChatGPT-5 look up "health conditions in the aircraft painting field vs electrician field"
Should give you some insight.
