RE: Are all Painters the same?

I have said a thousand times, if you can paint, and know how to keep a schedule, and act like a real human, I can make you RICH.....every painter that I have ever known, and I have known a TON.......SUCK when it comes to a time table.....drives me crazy.

This is the third time I've been told: \\\\\\; "your batwing will be ready on Monday" .. Had the same problem (delays) on tank, saddlebags, fenders with three (3) different bikes. \\\\\\; What's up with Painters, if I did that on my job I'd get canned[:@][:@][:@]

That's why we're working for ourselves!! can't get to a real job on time, leave early, can't get along with the other help, **** off the boss, etc. etc.

If these small jobs are such a pain, why take them on? Be honest with the client and tell them their fairing will be fit in between the big jobs and will take x number of days/weeks.
