I am currently the owner of a paint and body shop. I also have extensive experience working for automotive dealerships and independent paint and body shops. After 20 years of owning a business, and realizing that with the increasing costs of materials and labor, that it’s getting more difficult for a small niche shop to earn a healthy profit. I am ready to shift my focus back into painting for a reputable business. I did at one time have BASF, I-Car, and ASE certifications while working at the dealerships. I’m very efficient at bodywork, prep, masking, painting, and wetsand and buffing. I am also very good at color matching. I have produced 100+ hours worth of quality work (without helpers) within the work week in my previous experience and I’m confident that I can achieve that again. I own 4 quality guns as well as all other tools needed. Overall, because of my experience with owning a paint shop, I know the importance of hiring qualified, efficient and skilled employees and I know that I have what it takes to be a productive member of your staff.
WORK EXPERIENCE:

I am the owner of this automotive and motorcycle paint shop. We do repairs & spotwork on vehicles as well as overalls. I write the estimates, manage the shop and have had anywhere from 1 to 5 employees. I paint all jobs and also design and lay out all flames and graphics for custom paint. I also do all color matching including, but not limited to tri-stage and special effect paints. My shop has a great reputation for quality work and customer service.
