Car Spray painter...

[MirKz]

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this industry etc?

Im thinking that i might like to try it out and get into it.

Does anyone know what is involved in this career?

anyone actually doing it ?

and does anyone know what the going rate is for an apprentice ?

I think id love to have hot cars with crap or good paint jobs come in, and u strip em down etc, then respray them and they drive out... without a single scratch on them and they just glimmer in the sunlight.

can anyone help by offering advice, or knowledge?

thanks guys!

Great job if you don't mind getting cancer. Research has shown your average spraypainter is more likely to get cancer than just about anyone. Bloody hard work too but quite rewarding.

yeah but these days ure given alot more protective equipment and better ventilation devices than what they had 20 years ago type of thing.

Everyone i know that is involved with cars says its one of the last areas they would want to get into. I have always been fascinated by it though aswell. All you can do is try it i guess

It would definately be a prick of a job stripping the cars, rubbing them back, painting them well and then piecing together all of the seals,interior etc etc., but if you get a contract with a dealership you can make a killing.

spray painting is a jod for those perfectionists out there who love their cars you have to put in alot of hard work to do it just right but the rewards are worth it (not my words best mates dad spray painter from way back)
