I have a ton of paint/bodywork/Detailing equipment if your ever in need. 20yrs exp under my belt.
And of course you get paid overtime, holiday pay, vacation, double time on sundays.
Been there! One year I worked Easter Sunday and ford paid me triple time plus holiday pay! But as you stated I worked a lot! I was more in the production tooling side, everything from heater ducts to suspension partsAnd of course you get paid overtime, holiday pay, vacation, double time on sundays.
Literally sitting in my office at a Caliber location. This place is a cesspit. We went from privately owned with a stellar reputation for 50 years to a literal hack shop. Pulled PPG out of here.. swapped in Axalta. Never seen a paint line with more issues.Man that would be great with that type of work, I dont mind being busy as long as I'm being paid lol. I got stuck doing so many stupid things for free because they hired one bad manager after another who just did not comprehend how to run a shop at all or explain to a customer "we never worked on that part of your car"... unless I'm on my absolute last leg I'll never work for Caliber again, it's a huge company but they're so focused on just a mass takeover they hire shit people to run the shops. I have fam in Michigan & Ohio, thought about heading out that way, be a nice change from California... until it snows lol.
Damn fine quality from what I can see. Which paint line were you spraying?Haha thanks man, love makin those mirrors! Idk if I have any fresh paint vids that dont have my ugly mug in them as well lol but I'll take a look. If you need someone to train people I can do that too, ran the buff & detail dept for a few years @ a 500k+ a month shop before I learned how to paint. I got a lil burned out & took some time off tho, gotta get back to workin soon.
The Cadillac was ppg, ford was sikkens. Both waterbase color. It took some practice to get used to Axalta but I got the hang of it pretty good, I liked their color decks, colors hit almost spot on everytime, & spraying the color was faster in the booth; but it took longer to dry so it wasnt any faster in the long run.
I'll look for some of those vids. My paint rep really liked me lol. He only came to help me out maybe once every few months with weird or new colors. Told me lots of guys all across the region had issues adjusting to it...
I've heard similar stories. Some guys really like Axalta. I have a chip on my shoulder over the switch so take what I say about it with a bit of salt lol Lost my painter of 7 years due to the switch. 5 days of Axalta reps trying to push some of the most horrendous work broke him. Went to private shop 7 miles south and never looked back.
On the flip side his replacement came in and busted ass learning the line. Over the last month and a half we're hitting our stride again.
Gotta say that's the best Axalta job I have ever seen. Would never have believed it was possible lol wish I had photos of the sprays their reps were trying to sell. Solvent pop and horrendous color matching. Almost comical.
Big props to you. Talent goes a long way in this industry. You have a booth at home?
