I just watched a few videos on youtube about the full preparing and painting of cars.
One of the videos I watched had the guy explain that this job he was showing us was for a dealer and the dealer did not pay very much so he would cut corners to save time and money. Basically he had to re-paint the Hood. What I don't understand is that he sanded the problem areas. Took him about 2 minutes. Doing the rest of the Hood would have probably taken him an other 5 minutes... but he did not because this was for a dealership and since he did not pay very much he would cut corners... geez the explanation took longer than what it would have taken him to sand the entire Hood
Every step was the same story, I could do this but it's for a dealership...
It got me wondering if every paint shop had that mentality of willingly do a bad job because they did not think the money was Worth it. From what I understand he was getting paid 200$ to do the Hood and it took him about 3 hours. Doing a proper job would probably have taken him 30 more minutes... is it me or is that crazy?
Anyway, I found it really interesting nonetheless. I think understanding the entire painting process is a plus when it comes to knowing paint. I will most likelly Watch a few more videos, I hope all the other guys won't be this way though.
I also watched a guy paint a car pannel with a roller and rustholeum (sp?)... my question is: WHY? Why not use car paint, his process looked very similar to what other painters are doing with car paint... is there something about Rustholeum that I should know?
Really makes me want to paint a car now... damn!
