You can't use the selected attribute unless you are also using the query
attribute in cfselect.
Since you are looping over the query and outputting the <option> tags
directly you'll need to add a cfif check. Like this
<cfselect name="ceilingPaint#i#">
<option value="">Select One</option>
<cfloop query="paintList">
<option value="#JobPaintListId#" <cfif JobPaintListId eq
2>selected="true"</cfif> >#PaintList.colorName#,...</option>
</cfloop>
</cfselect>
