No... Just work labour. I mean.... 5.5 hours of paint means: 5.5x70$ shop rate plus 5.5x50$paint supplies.which gives 660$ from insurance including materials. I get paid 23$ per hour so it's 126.5$ for myself )). YeahDoes that include materials?
Idk man, there's Facebook group of body and painters, and every second of them told they are doing 100-150 hours a week ez.I have to say that im glad im not doing insurance work where they are running the money show.
Here’s your incentive to move on to something better. Make it happen.For me this whole job took around 6-7 hours. So I'm at 0.8 . God I hate my life
Just not possible for many IMO. 100 is doable, 150 is darn near impossible. Maybe once every couple of months but not regularly. I gotta believe those who are saying they do it "EZ" are lying.Idk man, there's Facebook group of body and painters, and every second of them told they are doing 100-150 hours a week ez.
I'm guessing you don't get to see the actual estimate.So, I got this truck to paint. I had to sand 320 body filler, mask, prime, block sand, da sand 600/800, scuff, mask, mix the color, spray, clear, denib and buff. And I had.... 5 and a half hours to do all that. 126$ for the whole job :')
Wait. There is time for nib and polish? I was told that it's free because it's my fault and painter is supposed to paint without any dirt and need to polishI'm guessing you don't get to see the actual estimate.
P.S I wrote that up in CCC and came up with 7.8 hours, that's with no frills like feather & block, only a blend on the sill, 0.5 color match, and 1 hour of nib and polish.
Wow. I hope you can find a better shop. I suggested a while ago that you try to get a job in a good restoration shop. They are often looking to hire and there is no insurance BS.Wait.

It's regional. Where I live they refuse to pay for it, so we don't do it. I made an assumption in your case. But either way as a commissioned employee, no pay, no do. Their statement is a ridiculous lie, the kind that dirty adjusters tell.Wait. There is time for nib and polish?
