Beiber looks like one of my old painters who was just a scummy piece of shit lol.
LMFAO...they all look the same. There used to be one that hung out with the Houston area LS crowd, nice enough guy, but had serious drug issues and fit the profile 100%

oh you mean like every auto painter ever? hahahaha
two things I learned while running a body shop : Don't do background checks, and don't drug test them. They'll fail both.
What matters is how well they can lay paint. lololololol
Aint that the truth. Im so glad Im out of the shop I was at. I wanted to spend money on a real painter but the owner insisted on scraping by with whoever was feeling lucky that day lol.
yeah you GOTTA spend the money on a painter, because they work on 100% of the cars that come through.
Good painters are a dime a dozen, its keeping them working that's the problem. Painter at the shop I was at was always in competition with his brother (who was a painter at another spot) about their pay, so that helped.
One of them made $10,000 in a week once.

I have a friend with a body shop
He told me right after my truck got hit and i quote
" ya know the only things here that really costs me money is the all new tools and shit I had to get to fix your piece of shit aluminum f150 and the ****er who paints shit, and because I like money I figured I would get those tools first to piss of the big dealerssince I stole the best painter within 200 miles of here" lol
That said the biggest reason I take my stuff thete is because his paint guy is an absolute stud...luckily the dude doesn't know exactly how good he really his but his boss knows and pays him very well
Funny part about the aluminum requirements is that in our experience, with such high volume, we fixed F150s all the time without having all the requirements. We had the tools but we never set up a station for it and such. Some cars can require that level of a sterile workstation but the F150s do not. Im not even sure what they mix into the Aluminum because the panels are held together with steel rivets. Makes no sense but it works. We never had one come back for contanination issues either.
Which is why they use rivets. Arc-welding would require lots of filler because this series is solidification crack sensitive.Ford is using a 6000 series aluminium alloy, must be something in their alloying process.
