Started in 1973 blocking out cars. Retired in 2017 as a collision repair/refinishing vocational teacher for 20 years. You have mastered the technique and would make an excellent teacher. I always wanted the collision repair industry to unionize. Insurance companies have kept wages low compared to mechanics or other similar trades. The knowledge required to do what you have demonstrated is quite high. What is the labor rate that insurance pays where you are TriggerMan? In upstate NY ours was around 52.00 per hour.

Thank you Sir! I really appreciate that man. Means a whole lot coming from an actual vocational school instructor/teacher who's actually taught guys this trade. Currently the rate is $48 per hour And I believe it's $90 for mechanical. Thank you for chiming in and welcome to the channel ♥️

I was fresh out of HS in 1988, wanted to be a mechanic but couldn't justify paying the Snap-On bill. Bought a few nice guns, worked at a body shop for 3 months after vocational school post HS. Got treated worse than a four legged animal in a slaughter house. 😅 Stuck with it for myself and now have a few hundred jobs under my belt. Learned more from KZread from guys like Trig than school or trial and error combined. 💥👍🏼

Hallo dom Poland. The hour of varnishman in the USA is similar to Polish, although the GDP per capita in the USA is twice as big! Mechanics in PL earn like painters and there are queues for both. Why? Because in Europe, studies are free and almost everyone has a master's degree, and no one wants to do manual labor.

Yeah it had very minimal peel. Few nibs in each panel and was out the door. Thank you for watching.

Long time watcher new subscriber. I got into the trade at 16 years old in 2005. Worked for an old school boss at busy commission shop mostly insurance work. Worked hard learned the trade and was the lead painter at 19 years old. Continuded to work hard and learn as much as I can. Shop went out of business during Covid and at 35 years old I find myself working in a shop very similar to yours. Thank you so much for showing the real world of our trade, no fancy booths, no down draft booths just real world body shop work. Being good in both situations comes from a solid foundation of the trade obviously you have that. If you can paint in one shop you can paint in any shop. Thanks for keeping it real and showing the real side of our trade. Peace from cali.

The crazy thing is I wanted to start a channel like 8 years ago but because this place was so outdated I thought people wouldn't take me serious but it it turns out to be the complete opposite the channel is more relatable to the average guy than I thought this is the real world of this trade. I kick my self in the ass every day for not following my heart and starting the channel 8 years ago. But everything is on GOD's time. And now is my time. So with GOD and all of you guys the channel will grow just like it's doing. And I'm so grateful 🙏🏼 Thank you again Willie ♥️

The experience that you pull out to get out of a jam or play with what you’ve got is the difference between botching something and having to start over or coming out in top. You keep it real and teach all of us that this is how it is and deal with it. I subscribed since the first month you’ve been up and watch every video and you’ve yet to disappoint.

Would love to see you again with r500,maybe hit single stage with it this time...definitely best finishes i have seen are on this chanell,usually i see videos and as painter myself i learn nothing new but here man whole different thing,thanks for that sir!

You're welcome brother. I can hit some single stage with the r500 and I'm telling you right now you cannot achieve these results with that gun. Or any of the last few jobs I did with the LPH400. That gun is made more to allow you to work with a small compressor then get a straight glass finish.

I just discovered your channel. You are a master painter man. Love your work. Could you do a few technical videos that explain gun set up, mixing tips etc ?? We yearn to the intricate knowledge more than just watching someone put paint down. Tips and tricks is where it's at.

Nice work triggerman. I had to whip out my LPH and play with it after watching😁 Do you spray at 26psi to atomize your clear right or is it for speed? Reason I ask is Iwata specs it at 15-16psi and Ive talked to people that spray around that and others alot higher. I sprayed my clear at 18psi and it atomizes really good but its a low solids thin clear. If i crank it up around 25psi the fan gets bigger. Same atomization just bigger with more overspray. I have the 1.3mm tip and silver cap.

Thank you Marc appreciate it man. Yes the gun does atomize at lower PSI but that's not Max.there is atomization then there's optimal atomization depends on the materials with low solid clear coats I spray around 19 psi. This AM-Tech clear coat here I use is higher solids than the 4:1 so I up it a little. There are guys I know that spray it around 30 psi. I never have there are guys I know that do. So you just have to play with it and even Then it changes when you change material.

Great work

Yo brother, congratulations on the 5k man!!!🎉 Hoses be a bitch sometimes hey man, our hoses have a habit of "kicking up" when they get a kink, sometimes they throw dust/dirt up or touch a panel, fuck my day right up 😡🤬. Definitely got to break these big jobs up, too daunting otherwise and I lose concentration if I did that while job in one go, stuff that. Big ups on showing that rub too my man, no hiding from nothing when Triggers on the camera 😉. Good job, as usual my man and congrats again brother. Stay strong and peace out ✌️😎💪

Hey trigger, another great vid. Congrats on the 5k. Question the cutter you used in video to cut plastic where did u get that? I have tried a few of them. They all sucked. Thanks

Thanks brother 😁 man I've tried every brand from 3M to Colad and they all suck. I use a cheapy brand from Amazon. But listen they come with blades but do not use the blades that come with purchase a quality pack of blades like a pack of 100 for like $6 AGAIN If you use the blades that it comes with you'll think cutter is garbage but it's not to give you cheap Chinese blades with it. 👇🏼 amzn.to/3TkFdcc
