I worked in a Professional model shop at an engineering company where the pay was considered some of the best in the Chicago area. I would like to know hat a "professional" painter makes at a body shop.
I did look it up and a painter ranges between $10 and $24/Hr for a good one. That't $50K/Yr. That's a long way from .25Mil and a lot less than even I was making. I went to a Navy Paint school in the Marines and Painted Aircraft for quite a few years before I started to do it in the civilian world and that included a lot of OSHA training and HASMAT training. I worked IMA level and depot level maintenance, which meant that I painted birds for the whole Air Group. We had Huies, A-4s, F-4s, CH-53s and CH-46s. All paints were Cyanide based Epoxy Polimide. So I guess the way the Military dose things and trains people is wrong as always. Damn, I knew I should have been a Doctor or a Lawyer. That way I could have had some other idiot do all of this work for me. :blink:
