Heavy Damage Re Paint

[@vasiliskaradimos]

Hello friend.... always top job from you....I have my own shop and after some people who worked on my place i realise that i am better alone..i am happier...Nobody do the job correct....Yes i am full tired because i have work for 3 painters and i do it all alone....prep and paint....this job needs the wright persons to make a good team but its very difficult.... Maybe i will take a young guy for work to help me and learn but this is difficult too because young people don't come to do this job.... Patience...the first 100 years is difficult 😂😂😂

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@vasiliskaradimos yea I totally agree, there's not many skilled guys around and there aren't many appreciates coming into the trade either. Keep pushing tho.

Hi Paul, absolutely loved the video there was so much info in here that most people should take something away and learned something from it or at least got some out there thinking about their work ethic which IMO is lacking in most industries🙄I've often thought about getting the 3M Accuspray gun but it's not something I need it's just something different in my collection🤔 I don't know the in's and out's of your place of work but it seems to me like the management should get on the shop floor a bit more to see just how things are done and the processes in place there, a good time in motion study would find the deadwood in the company to make it more productive, we had one done at my last place of work and there was some serious changes made where people weren't making the best use of their time, nothing was said to me as they seemed happy with what I was doing🤓😎 Anyway I'm running on again, I hope your new place is what you were looking for Paul👌🙏👍

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@JohnWD40TC02 thanks mate, keep running with it, I love to hear your opinions, you know so many talented people round the world which gives you a unique perspective. 3m have some special editions acusprays coming soon. 🤐 I've seen them. 😀 honestly I'm not sure if you would get any value for what you do but it's definitely a cool idea for switching between colours quickly. But new guns are nice lol. My new place is really cool they are super relaxed as long as jobs are coming out of the ovens, and the numbers on the sheet for the day are good. 👌

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Ok thanks Paul I'll keep a look out for the new 3M guns, you are right getting one is pretty pointless but so was the other 15 clear guns I own😅🤓but as you say it's always nice to get some new ones👌 It's great to hear you are doing ok at your new joint mate, lets hope it continues🙏👍

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@JohnWD40TC02 lol I love new gun day lol. Yea I think I'll stay at thos place for a while. 👍

I've worked for myself from the age of 18 because i didn't like being pushed around , loved my first boss but i thought i needed to move on . If your not happy with a situation leave full stop . Now after 47 years in the job i'm happy and can do exactly what i want to do with no idiot telling me what to do . If you ever get the chance get your own unit trust me you'll be alot happier . 🙃

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@jimmypratt6450 good for man, thats a big step to have taken. I have started my own business PainTeX, selling paint tools like colour matching torches and uv chip repair kits. And that's doing quite well so hopefully I'll be able so get my own unit soon to paint and sell my products from.

[@jimmypratt6450]

@@paulphillipspaintwork Keep pushing , trust me its worth it and will pay off . I push work away every week and pick and choose what i want to do . I do work for another KZbinr ie High Peak Autos i'm jimmmy the magician lol and wish i had a wand at times .

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@jimmypratt6450 that's awesome I'm a subscribing to hi peak lol I'm definitely going all in with my business. I joke I'm unemployable because I can't work for people lol

Bit of a random question hope u can help, What would you recommend if you came across mottle while using standox? I’ve been using standox for around a year now only had very slight mottle issue on a new door a few weeks ago on a silver. One big downside I find with standox is it doesn’t like to get re applied once it’s dried. I find it gets very gritty and the basecoat stands up if you try and apply more. Any tips on what you would do if it’s motley/patchy after it’s dried? Thanks

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@AbcAbc-lg5zi great question, basically it's the distance to panel while applying the orientation coat. You have to be unusually far away. This also works well if any colour is giving you issues like 3 stage pearls or tinted clears looking a little odd. I'll leave the Standox video below, keep an eye his distance to the panel when doing the orientation coat. 👌 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHycp59tZ69-qqMsi=v7hcHVCzF168iKxT

[@AbcAbc-lg5zi]

@@paulphillipspaintwork thanks I’ll keep that in mind. Sometimes tho I think it looks ok then once it’s dried I’m like oh no looks a bit patchy lol that’s my main worry with standox you need to get it while the base coats still wet. If something doesn’t look right after it’s dried and you decide to apply another coat it it doesn’t ever sit right 🤦‍♂️ apart from that it’s a brillaint paint system

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@AbcAbc-lg5zi there is a way I re applied base by putting a lot of wet bed over the base that has dried then mixed the base 2:1 with wet bed and applied that into the new wet bed. In this case I could see through my base. I have a video of me doing it. It's 11 mins in kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYHHZqKQfaide5Isi=PNr-47Jkfy5rLUM6

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@@AbcAbc-lg5zi maybe try in a test panel first.

Paul its,andy mate thought you left your job have you got something lined up mate hope so Paul do you know anything about heat curing lamps mate good video by the way thanks for sharing that very well explained 😊

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@ANDY-we7mr I've started my new job, this is the last video from that place. Inferred lamps are pretty straight forward, and the paint your using will have Inferred info on it.

I don’t think teams work. I always have worked as a team, by keeping track of hours, to keep it fair. Seems that on teams, there’s always someone who doesn’t play fair. Did you give them any notice, or do a silent quitting? I actually have not said anything, and just started loading tools during the work day, then tell them what and why I was loading my tools. I did this for similar reasons as what you experienced, except that the paint was decent.(RM) We had a guy that was the owners pet, who was a cry baby. He complained because I was painting circles around him, and USAA thought his work sucked. He thought I was making too much money, so they made us a team.

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

It sounds similar to the place I left. If I don't like what's going on I'll find someone else and leave. I have tried to talk to them about it in the past but nothing ever happens and they think I'm a trouble maker for raising the issue so I just leave. I do try to stay on top of my hours if I can but I always do my best. Like you say guys like us paint rings round people anyway so our hours should be OK.

Agreed 👍🏻

[@AllTorque]

Sounds like you are well rid of that place! There is nothing good about a team of people who aren't invested in making things better. It's down to HR to hire better more motivated people and then down to managers and culture to encourage doing well. This place looked dark and drab compared to your old place so hopefully you are in a better environment in all ways! I desperately need to learn to prep and paint ... would be some good video's in doing that to be fair!

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@AllTorque I'd love to do some videos detailing prep, primer buy management in these places don't want cameras on the shoo floor, half of them don't allow you to take pictures of your work.

[@paulphillipspaintwork]

@@AllTorque sounds good. I look forward to hearing them 👍
