My day at work!!! Paint paint!!

[tbone87]

Lots and lots of painting and taping!!! 35 foot long and 4 colors! Just another day.

 

[Mike T]

My condolences to you. Most people have no idea of the time and effort that it takes to do that job.... not to mention material cost.

 

[tbone87]

Thanks 200+ hours and 10 to 11 gallons of paint 2 gallons of sealer and 4+ gallons of clear just to paint. Not counting the tape and other materials.

Geez. What's a job like that cost?

 

[tbone87]

Depending on lots of things 9k-14k.

You are a magician with a spray gun. It's black magic as far as I'm concerned.

 

[tbone87]

Thanks mike its not hard takes practice that's all. There is only 4 of us. I don't paint a lot just on these and at other times when behind. I do most of the body work and fiberglass work. What is fun cutting a front or rear end in half and and fiberglass the other half to it and making it look brand new!!

 

[4timesT]

Dang!

 

[tbone87]

Before clear!!!

 

[4timesT]

[tbone87]

[4timesT]

[tbone87]

That's a wetsanding and polishing party I wouldn't want to attend LOL, nice work I know what it takes to paint car's let alone a FULL size rv...Mike

 

[tbone87]

I have done a bunch!! After sanding and buffing a 43' believe me every bone in your body hurts and shoulders feels like they about to fall off. Especially buffing off a scaffolding really sucks!!!

 

[4timesT]

Damn dude that sound awful.

 

[Mike T]

Nice job!! Good that you stopped and took a few pictures...... if your like me and you have been at this for a while you forget about the thousands of cars and trucks that you've worked on. Wouldn't you like to see them all lined up?

 

[tbone87]

Cars yes motor homes no!!! Don't want to see it again lol.. But puts food on table.. Enjoy lots but like everything else gets old too.
