Bodyman/painter looking for job

[stunt-r]

Well I install car audio currently at circuit city, as far as that goes, i can do everything but overhead mounting (i can do the wiring) and alarms. besides that i can do just about anything.

now onto the main part of it, i am currently going to san jac for my auto body certificate. however, i did autobody three years in high school, and now a year at san jac, so i definetely have experience, and I can do just about anything you give me besides frame straightening (havent messed with that much), and havent done interior work. but any body damage im all over, including welding, painting, buffing, any type of sanding, the whole nine yards. so i was seeing what was out there, im not currently certified, but will be, and can definetely do certified type work, guaranteed.

please let me know if you have any info


Thanks,
Matt

[Romeo36]

you go to the south campus?

[rubbersidedown]

just about any body shop will give you a shot

why not just rent a cheap 2bayshop and do side work?

i'll be your first customer, how much to buff/claybar a black expedition

[stunt-r]

you go to the south campus?

yes i go to south

and as for the buffing, i dunno what a good price is...it takes a little while to do. were you wanting wet sanding done also, or just buffing out surface scratches?

[rubbersidedown]

yes i go to south

and as for the buffing, i dunno what a good price is...it takes a little while to do. were you wanting wet sanding done also, or just buffing out surface scratches?

its an 2004 and ive waxed it once....yes just surface clean/oxidation very light scrathes/scuffs....no wet sand

its black, heard people are afaid of swirling?

[stunt-r]

Dude come see me even if its for a little while, got several nice gravy jobs, quit talkin about it and lets make some money:keke:

[stunt-r]

haha how much you talking about paying me to do these gravy jobs? thats a very long drive man and at 12 miles to the gallon, doesnt do me much lol

[FLYIN'DUC]

I do pay my guys well, depending how much time a job takes, comission, just like all shops and the per hour rate depends on skill level, If U want come and look at the jobs and lets talk, dam I,m beginning to think U like getting boned:rofl:, U,ve been complaining for awhile but ur still there, WTF

[stunt-r]

hahahaha, trust me if your shop wasnt so damn far from my house, id go. i actually just moved even FURTHER away from your shop. im off of 518 now. super far drive man lol

[sbfuller]

there are quite a few paint shops around league city and kemah, go check them out

[stunt-r]

yeah, but looking for one that will hire me not being certified yet, thats the hard part

[motolosjr]

do you do any sandblasting? ive got a 68 chevy that i want work done on

[houseofpaint]

won't hurt to go to a few body shops and ask to start off as a helper with intentions of moving forward. let them know of your intentions....unless you have prior "professional" experience, it will be harder to start off as a painter/body man.

if you're talking about icar certifications.....they aren't worth a damn. i've had guys with icar certifications that didn't know how to do jack. it's all about experience. so you might have to start off at the bottom somewhere

it's best to know most brands of products also....mixing ratios, reactions, process of laying it down, etc. every brand has it's differences.

good luck with finding the job.....i'm not sure what you make now, but being a bodyman/painter can be rough work, and not to mention hard on your health. not sure if it's worth a few extra bucks an hour.

[stunt-r]

yeah i love doing it

[stunt-r]

bump...
