This guy is like a machine! For people that have not worked in a production collision repair environment, try to imagine a shop full of guys like this all cranking out job after job. This is impressive stuff.
I’m getting ready to paint my 71 el Camino and I’ve watched a lot of your videos to learn how a professional would do it 👍 I’m finish sanding it right now so I’m almost ready to spray I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
You certainly know how to plan your day Kandy Man which is essential when you are in a fast moving production shop, you never look like you are rushed of your feet or panicking but you get a lot done which just shows you are a true professional. When I last worked I was a vacuum, injection moulder and a laminator making the outer panels for MRI Scanners, I was paid for each part I made as they were all priced up for the workers, I used to take my breaks around my work making the best use of my time, it was a well paid and interesting job but these days I don't work so just do a bit here and there in my own workshop and booth😎👍John UK
You really show here what it takes to make it in the industry, alot of experience first and work ethic that is impressive im sure for the whole shop staff good place to be with minor micro management.. your heart is still in it and it shows
makes so much sense to paint as many parts off the cars as possible, Do you use the same gun for all the panels your basing up or have several on the go?
As a collision tech you are spot on! Love to work with a painter like you. If someone wants to do this for a living you are the one they need to watch. Do y'all have trouble getting Tesla parts?
Kandy Man , beautiful work as usual. I’m also a professional painter in Michigan. Was wondering when you start a job , when your cleaning a scuffing are you using solvent or water cleaner?
PPG use to be under the name of Dulex about 30 plus years ago ,, I think they change the name as there was and still the name Dulex in house paint here in Australia A day in a life of history as well , lol .. keep up the great work Mate ..
@@kandyman5315you work too much 😂 About 2 month ago there was a big thing going on…. Since then “no one” drinks bud light anymore and “no one” shops target anymore ….. at least no hard working, upstanding, christian or conservative people. Seeing your entire video start to finish, you are working a lot and have not much time to follow all this stuff …. Here is the quick summary; Target made “tuckable” or “tuck friendly” swimsuits for 3-6 year old trans kids and for about a week at them front and center in the store …. They satanist designer of this swimwear was all proud to make all the kids trans, destroy families and society …. So a lot of people stopped shopping at target all together ….. So no worries, it was just a smart ass comment on my end, dont take it personal, thanks for asking rather then just deleting my comment.
@@kandyman5315 beautiful shop.. tell your boss the only thing you are missing for the paint shop is a UV Fastlane 2k.. also get rid of the ppg and go glasurit 100 line.. you’ll thank me later haha.. fastest paint in the world
youre living the dream i have to dissemble do the bodywork, paint, polish reassemble and wash everything myself

Youre an inspiration man. Im currently 2 years into this paint game and im always trying to learn and get better everyday. Thank you
I appreciate that!
Great video. That refrig is looking pretty empty from when I was there last 😂 keep up the hard work. You’re a beast
Had to take care of you💪💪
That was a good vid, its nice to watch a different take on things from time to time. Thanks for all the interesting content 👍🏻
Great day in the life of a painter thanks for sharing k man top work as always 👊
Thanks 👍
That’s the same hood I use at my work. Painting boats you get crazy overspray all over you so my hood looks ragged

You can do it!
when I worked at a production shop in the early 90s we had two detailers for sanding and buffing.
Body/paint is real life goals for me and I’m currently 1:00 into this video and already hella inspired. Thank you Kandy Man for being so solid!
Kandy Man you have very strong work ethics. I’m sure your day flies by. You are very organized. Have a great weekend.
Another great video, I admire the work you have achieved in one day.👏👏👍

Words of thought and encouragement . Bruce Lee didn't wish for an easy life , he wished for strength to get through a difficult life .
So fire bro. I love seeing such a clean shop and such integrity you have !
Appreciate it 👊
Looks great 👍 thanks for bringing us along for the day!
Any time!
Good stuff . I have no clue where to start painting parts apart. I do everything so it’s hard for me to focus on one thing .
I love your focus and attention to detail. Bravo!
Glad you like it!
Good job mate you’re the best.🎉🎉
You do a great job from Vermont

Yep ,if you are a body man or painter with good experience,and still charging 1500 tp paint a car materials and labor,then you will not be successful.

Not sure what this means

Hell, non stop with barely time to breathe or is ot just the way the vid is shot? Do you have anyone else doing an evening shift or is it just you?
Just me
It's all about being in the "right frame of mind " and just "attack the day" , just turn off the BS and focus !!
Looks like a great salad actually lol
